[Medico-social characteristics of female adolescents with early alcoholism].
The authors have examined 174 girls and 112 boys aged 14-18 years suffering from early alcoholism. It has been found that the social microenvironment of girls with alcoholism was distinguished by a significantly higher rate of alcoholism in parents and relatives. Delinquent behaviour of girls was characterized by a greater homogeneity than in their male peers and was largely expressed in sexual promiscuity. The authors have described the phenomenon of "pseudo-hypersexuality" manifested by release during intoxication of external manifestations of sexual drive in the presence of general sexual retardation and the absence of true sexual feeling. Psychogenic pathocharacterological development in girls was characterized by lower intensity and dynamics but by greater stability and rigidity. The girls had a lower rate of debility and residual organic cerebral insufficiency but higher prevalence of psychopathies and psychogenic pathological formations.
