“…When the same type of behavior is exhibited by a member of one's own race as well as sex, it may become negatively valued and perceived as aggressive. Specialized interracial assertiveness training groups for women that incorporate use of both behavioral and cognitive methods, as proposed by Wolfe and Fodor (1978), might facilitate change in black females' perceptions and expectations of White women.…”

“…Overwhelmingly, researchers conclude that women alcoholics have a poor self-image and low self-esteem (Braiker, 1984;Finkelstein et al, 1981;MacAndrew, 1982/83;SorelI, Silvia & Busch-Rossnagel, 1993;Stienecker, 1976;Wolfe, 1979). MacAndrew (1982/83) reports that alcoholic women felt less shy, less self-conscious, less submissive, less fearful, and more forceful and confident when they were inebriated.…”

ABSTRACT" Supported by a review of relevant literature and a case study, the author argues that family therapy intervention enhances the likelihood of a female alcoholic's positive prognosis. With a basis in systems theory, family therapy views the family as a system and, hence, perceives the alcoholism as a symptom of that family. A profile of the female alcoholic, how her drinking affects her family, and the rote that family therapy plays in the recovery process are examined.KEY WORDS: alcoholism; family therapy; women.It is generally accepted that female alcoholics vary substantially from their male counterparts (Annis & Leban, 1980; Curlee, 1979;Gomberg, 1981Gomberg, , 1987Gomberg, Nelson, & Hatchett, 1991;Olenick & Chalmers, 1991;Smart, 1979; Sorell, Silvia & Busch-Rossnagel, 1993;Vannicelli, 1984). Given that women alcoholics have a distinct etiology and suffer differently than men alcoholics, it follows that these variations should be reflected in treatment programs.For instance, the distress exerted by alcoholic wives or mothers from their central familial positions has profound significance for both the recovering alcoholic and the family members. Because a women's sense of self and her role in the family are inextricably linked, and because alcoholic women, particularly mothers, suffer extreme guilt for their drunken actions, it seems plausible that family therapy would aid in the recovery process. With its basis in systems Judith A. Rolls, PhD, is an associate professor of communication with the Department

“…In addition, evidence for the positive results of women's assertion was frequently based on research of inconsequential and impersonal situations that lacked ecological validity and ignored race, class, and status variables (Gervasio & Crawford, 1989). Fodor and Epstein (1983), who had been among the first to recommend AT for women (Wolfe & Fodor, 1975), concluded that the premise that irrational beliefs and gender role socialization alone inhibited women's assertion was flawed and that some of women's "irrational" beliefs were based on realistic estimates of the consequences of assertion.…”
