Female Alcoholism: Explanations and Current Trends.
Whaley, Emily
Drug Forum: The Journal of Human Issues, v7 n3-4 p329-38 1978-79
Alcoholism in females requires a different explanation from alcoholism in males. A set of dimensions for analyzing the problem was specified. A two-track model emerged: depression-dependence, and low femininity. These are seen as developmental, with life events contributing to a value-added propensity to problem drinking, ultimately triggered by a precipitating event. (Author)
