Self-image in relationships with others in men and women addicted to alcohol

Summary/Abstract: This work is an attempt to explore the area of interconnectedness between retrospective perceptions of parental attitudes and self-image in adulthood in alcohol addicts, taking into account the differences between men and women. The study was conducted on a sample of 69 patients of the alcohol addiction therapy unit (34 women, 35 men). The Retrospective Assessment of Parent Attitudes (KPR-Roc) questionnaire in M. Plopa (2008) and Jerry S. Wiggins's Interpersonal Adjective Scales (IAS) (2016) were used to measure variables. The difference tests were performed using 2-ANOVA, and the r-Pearson correlation coefficient was used to analyze the relationship between the variables tested. Statistically significant differences between men and women addicted to alcohol concerning the maternal image have been confirmed. However, there were no differences in the paternal image. In addition, there were statistically significant links between the image of the self and the image of both parents. Research shows that in alcohol addicts, there are clear differences between women and men in perceived parental attitudes of mothers. In addition, the memory of parental attitudes is important for the formation of the self-image of addicts, both with regard to the parental interactions of their mothers and fathers. The limitations of the studies and some of their clinical implications are discussed.
