Sammanfattning

People with alcohol problems are a heterogeneous group and the research of typologies has at times been of large interest, although this interest has diminished somewhat in recent years. The primary aim of the research of typologies has been to find subgroups for targeted medication and psychosocial interventions. The aspects which mainly have been studied are heredity, development and severity of the abuse, social difficulties, drinking patterns and psychopathology. How to considering gender differences have varied, but no typology has so far classified people with alcohol problems starting from a gender perspective. It has also been methodological difficulties when studying differences between men and women, often because of few women in the sample, which has led to problems with generalizability. In recent years, women's drinking has increased and men's and women's drinking patterns have become more similar. Therefore, the existing classifications need to be modified, but now with considering of both a biological sex perspective and a gender perspective.
