Relations among Parental Alcoholism, Eating Disorders, and Substance Abuse in Nonclinical College Women: Additional Evidence against the Uniformity Myth.

Mintz, Laurie B.; And Others

Journal of Counseling Psychology, v42 n1 p65-70 Jan 1995

The relationship of parental alcoholism to eating disorder symptomology and substance abuse in a nonclinical sample of college women was examined. In addition, differences among adult children of alcoholics (ACOAs) related to level of distress concerning parental alcohol use was examined. Results add additional evidence to the notion that not all ACOAs are alike and that not all suffer from psychological problems. (JPS)
