Women and Alcoholism: A Psychosocial Approach

Ann D. Johnson

This article contends that the unequal allocation of resources for women alcoholics is partly a result of the failure of models of addiction to take into account the special features of alcoholism in women. It discusses the problems of the medical and moral models for women alcoholics and argues that the psychosocial model is a more robust alternative for describing the addictive process and for creating effective interventions.
