Do Daughters of Female Alcoholics Have More Problems during Childhood and Adolescence than Sons?
Mutzell, Sture
Early Child Development and Care, v110 p69-82 Jun 1995
Examined 171 female alcoholic inpatients, including subjects' own childhood, offspring, and family environment. Found that female alcoholics resemble males alcoholics and have disturbed childhoods with a drug- or alcohol-abusing, suicidal parent. In particular, boys of female alcoholics are extremely vulnerable during adolescence and have a more traumatic childhood than girls, but both fare poorly under such circumstances. (HTH)
