"The purpose of the study was to analyze descriptively the premarital and marital behavior of the wives of seven married male alcoholic patients for the continuity, or lack of continuity, of such tendencies as the literature has shown to be typical of the role of the alcoholic's wife. The collection of the data commenced on November 1, 1956, at the Alcoholic Rehabilitation Clinic, Miami, Florida. The collaborative service records of four wives and the treatment records of seven medically diagnosed alcoholic husband-patients were reviewed. Information was also secured in structured interviews with three wives who were in a non-casework relationship to the Clinic and with one wife who was using collaborative help. The data were examined for the characteristics of the model role at the time of the marriage and at the time of the husband-patient's Clinic admission to determine whether, or not, the wives showed a continuing tendency toward the role of the alcoholic's wife"--Introduction. / Typescript. / "August, 1959." / "Submitted to the Graduate School of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Social Work." / Advisor: David L.
