Abstract
In 1952 Jellinek presented a model for the symptom progression of alcoholism in men. Neither Jellinek nor subsequent investigators made any attempts to extend his progression to women alcoholics. James, in 1975, studied this association, but the report of her results was descriptive and not statistical. The current study compared Jellinek's model with the progression reported by James and with a progression reported for a sample obtained by the authors. The authors did not obtain a significant correlation between the data of Jellinek and James but did for Jellinek and the authors' sample and between the authors' sample and James's.
