College students with alcoholic fathers (adult children of alcoholics, ACA; n = 84) and with nonalcoholic parents (n = 123) were studied with regard to perceptions of their families, depressive experiences, and coping styles within a developmental model of depression that focuses on object representations (Blatt, 1974). Eight measures were used. Multivariate analyses of variance showed that ACAs differed in family perceptions (p less than .0001), with paternal inconsistency discriminating most effectively between groups. As predicted, ACAs exhibited greater introjective depression (p less than .01) but no increase in anaclitic depression. Also, ACAs relied more on aggressive defenses (p less than .01). Findings demonstrate that young adult children of alcoholic fathers manifest distinct, identifiable emotional characteristics and suggest that Blatt's model of depression may provide a useful theoretical context for understanding certain effects of paternal alcoholism.

“…The standardized Michigan Alcohol Screening Test (MAST) (Selzer, 1971) has been used as a classification variable for producing alcoholic, alcohol related problems, and no alcohol related problems groups (Moore, 1972;Selzer et al, 1975;Silber et al, 1985). The MAST consists of 25 items which emphasize behavior and consequences of alcohol abuse.…”

Earlier studies have suggested psychological differences between women and men who are alcoholic. A ps chological component, which is based on the Eastern philosophy o f" Taoism, is used to explore these differences. This component translates in Western psychology as a blend of anxiety, depression, and low selfesteem. Using a colle e freshman class as a sample, the psychological component was f ound to be an antecedent or concomitant of women who were alcoholic. The component was not a part of males who were alcoholic. A development of the psychological component in terms of a typical process for alcoholic women is offered. Use of this understand~ng in treatment is suggested..Multiple factors interact to determine the development of alcoholism, which is most often viewed by current researchers "as a final common pathway arrived at through a multitude of factors including vuln&ability, environmktal stresses, social pressures, psychiatric problems, and personality characteristics" (Holden, 1987, p. 20): Holden goes dn to state-that although adva'nced chronic alcoholics lookvery much alike, the course of the disease is by no means uniform or predictable. Studies have shown that alcoholics entering treatment present symptoms of anxiety and depression (Barnes, 1983;Cox, 1979;Lang, 1983). It has also been shown that the degree of anxiety and depression is directly related to the degree of alcohol dependence (Skinner & Allen, 1982). In contrast, feelings of low self-esteem among alcoholics, persist even David L. Knoblauch is a psychologist, with a speciality in the diagnosis of chemical dependency at Northwestern University, Evanston, IL 60608.

“…Although this study used the most frequently used MAST cut score, evidence exists that this score, when applied to college students, produces "a significant number of false positive identifications" (Martin, Liepman, & Young, 1990, p. 853). Future researchers are encouraged to consider Silber, Capon, and Kuperschmit's (1985) recommendation to use a cut score of 10 or more to address this issue. Finally, the results of the present study are limited to female college students only.…”
