This is a case report of a male naval aviator, raised in an alcoholic environment, and the impact of that environment on his development and adult functioning. A review of the adult children of alcoholics syndrome is presented to help familiarize the reader with this evolving entity and its probable impact on aviation personnel. In the United States, current estimates indicate that parental alcoholism affects 27 million children. Only about 5% of these children are receiving any evaluation, supportive care, or treatment. This case of a naval aviator affected by this syndrome illustrates the need for its recognition and potential for treatment and modification of maladaptive behavior. As a treatment entity, recognition of the adult children of alcoholics syndrome will hopefully have a positive effect upon aviation safety and will help save a valuable national asset, our trained aviation personnel.
这是一份关于一名男性海军飞行员的病例报告，他成长于酗酒环境，以及该环境对其成长和成年后机能的影响。本文对酒精成瘾者成年子女综合征进行了综述，以帮助读者熟悉这一不断演变的病症及其对航空人员可能产生的影响。在美国，目前的估计表明，父母酗酒影响着2700万儿童。这些儿童中只有约5%正在接受任何评估、支持性护理或治疗。这名受该综合征影响的海军飞行员病例说明了识别该病症的必要性以及治疗和改变适应不良行为的可能性。作为一个治疗对象，识别酒精成瘾者成年子女综合征有望对航空安全产生积极影响，并有助于挽救我们训练有素的航空人员这一宝贵的国家财富。
