Research suggests that high levels of dissatisfaction, conflict and aggression characterize the relationships of alcoholics. The present study addressed aspects of bidirectional violence that occur in the relationships of female alcoholics.
Participants were109 women (and their partners) in a randomized clinical trial comparing individual and couple treatment for female alcoholics. Participants completed the Modified Conflicts Tactics Scale (CTS); four CTS subscales were calculated: Verbal Aggression, Psychological Coercion, Minor Violence and Severe Violence.
Sixty-one percent of the couples reported at least some violence (27% severe) between them in the prior year. In 23% of the couples, the woman was more severely violent than the man; in 11% of the couples, the man was more severely violent.
Overall, results suggest that verbal aggression, psychological coercion and physical violence occur in the context of a distressed relationship.
研究表明，高度的不满、冲突和攻击性是酗酒者人际关系的特征。本研究探讨了女性酗酒者人际关系中双向暴力的相关方面。
在一项比较针对女性酗酒者的个体治疗和夫妻治疗的随机临床试验中，参与者为109名女性（及其伴侣）。参与者完成了修订后的冲突策略量表（CTS）；计算了CTS的四个子量表：言语攻击、心理强制、轻微暴力和严重暴力。
61%的夫妻报告在前一年中他们之间至少发生了一些暴力行为（27%为严重暴力）。在23%的夫妻中，女性的暴力行为比男性更严重；在11%的夫妻中，男性的暴力行为更严重。
总体而言，结果表明言语攻击、心理强制和身体暴力发生在关系紧张的背景下。
