Partners of problem drinkers: moving into the 1990s.
The literature on partners of problem drinkers is reviewed. Originally research and treatment viewed partners of problem drinkers from a pathological perspective. This paper suggests an alternative stress and coping perspective as less stigmatizing and more realistic in terms of the experiences of these individuals.
