Abstract
The relationship between alcoholism in women and feminine self-concept was examined using a researcher-developed instrument and a demographic questionnaire that were administered to 122 female subjects-78 nonalcoholics, who were drawn from community organizations in the area, and 44 alcoholics, who were selected from five New York State treatment centers and one chapter of Alcoholics Anonymous. The nonalcoholic women tended to perceive themselves as being closer to their ideal selves as women, which suggests that they had a higher feminine self-concept than did the alcoholic women. Suggestions are made for elevating the self-concept of alcoholic women in social work practice.
