Abstract
Male alcoholics and their spouses participating in an ongoing family interaction study were assessed as to drinking patterns, psychiatric symptoms, and marital satisfaction. Analyses of these data indicated that high alcohol consumption was associated with high satisfaction and reduced symptomatology in the spouses of steady but not binge drinkers. Findings are discussed in terms of Steinglass' suggestion that alcohol can have "adaptive" consequences for the marriage and family life of alcoholics.
