This study examines the historical treatment of two phenomena that impact negatively on the lives of millions of women--incest and alcoholism--and explores the similarities in characteristics of alcoholic women and women with histories of incest. Prior to the early 1980s, incest histories were rarely mentioned in the literature on alcohol. Similarly, the literature on incest makes only passing references to alcohol abuse among adolescent and adult survivors. Hence, formal research comparisons between the alcoholic woman and the incest-surviving woman are lacking. The purpose of this study is not merely to illustrate the similarities between the alcoholic woman and the incest-surviving woman, but also to present a persuasive argument that multidisciplinary research efforts are essential in order to promote more effectively the identification, diagnosis and treatment of women who suffer both alcoholism and incest. To accomplish these goals, this study presents parallel reviews of (1) women and alcohol and (2) women and incest, then develops a comparative profile of the alcoholic woman and the incest-surviving woman. Additionally, the relatively sparse information on the alcoholic incest-surviving woman is reviewed. This study points to the need for further research in order to address the compelling question that emerges: Why do some incest-surviving women become alcoholic while others do not?
本研究考察了对数百万女性生活产生负面影响的两种现象——乱伦和酗酒——的历史治疗情况,并探究了酗酒女性和有乱伦经历女性在特征上的相似之处。在20世纪80年代初之前,乱伦经历在关于酗酒的文献中很少被提及。同样,关于乱伦的文献也只是顺便提及青少年和成年幸存者中的酒精滥用问题。因此,缺乏对酗酒女性和乱伦幸存女性的正式研究比较。本研究的目的不仅是说明酗酒女性和乱伦幸存女性之间的相似之处,还在于提出一个有说服力的观点,即多学科研究努力对于更有效地促进对同时患有酗酒和乱伦问题的女性的识别、诊断和治疗至关重要。为实现这些目标,本研究对(1)女性与酗酒以及(2)女性与乱伦进行了平行综述,然后梳理出酗酒女性和乱伦幸存女性的比较概况。此外,还对关于酗酒的乱伦幸存女性的相对稀少的信息进行了综述。本研究指出需要进一步开展研究,以解决出现的一个紧迫问题:为什么一些乱伦幸存女性会酗酒而另一些则不会?
