Compare and contrast Type I and Type II alcoholism.
What will be an ideal response?
Type I alcoholism is characterized by mild abuse, minimal criminality, and passive-dependent personality variables, whereas Type II alcoholism is characterized by early onset, violence, and criminality and is largely limited to males (p. 449). Type II alcoholics start drinking (and using other drugs) at a very early age and rapidly become addicted, and they have many character disorders and behavioral problems that precede their alcoholism. Type I alcoholics start drinking later in life than Type IIs and progress to alcoholism slowly. Type I alcoholics typically have families and careers, and if they have character defects, these are induced by their alcohol problem and are not permanent.
