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.
