TY - JOUR PY - 1998// TI - The importance of family context in alcoholism JO - Alcohol and alcoholism A1 - Vaz-Serra, A. A1 - Canavarro, M. C. A1 - Ramalheira, C. SP - 37 EP - 41 VL - 33 IS - 1 N2 - In the present study, 56 chronic alcoholics were compared with 56 controls with no excessive drinking habits, all of them male. The drinking habits of their parents were studied, as were parental rearing, dyadic relations with the spouses, attachment to significant people, and the education they gave to their own children. It was noted that the alcoholics' parents had heavier drinking habits and could have acted as learning models. As regards the other characteristics, the dyadic cohesion, the global score of the education received from the father and the personal style of criticism/rejection in the education of their own children were underlined.
