The "Home Treatment": The First Steps in Trying to Cope With an Alcoholic Husband.
Wiseman, Jacqueline P.
Family Relations, v29 n4 p541-49 Oct 1980
Findings indicate that wives attempt to treat husbands' alcoholism at home long before they seek professional help. Wives' strategies reflect their changing beliefs about alcoholism, about their marital relationships, and about their failure to cope. Home treatment strategies of amelioration under stress contribute to the stress as well. (Author/BEF)
