To the question of attitude of alcoholism and family-marriage relationships

The ratio of the family factor and alcoholism is a continuum-mind of the opinions of various authors. On the one hand, the family is taken to the factors that cause and support alcoholism in her penis. On the other hand, the family has one of the main roles in the prevention and treatment of alcoholism. Alcoholism of the husband, as the main cause of family quarrels and conflicts, is indicated in most studies. Also, the problem of dependence of the stability of marriage on the fact of the abuse of alcohol by one of its subjects is of interest. The purpose of this study was to assess the dynamics of family relationships in alcoholic marriages. Material and methods: representative groups of men with chronic alcoholism (MBA) in the number of 51 people and, accordingly, their spouses were studied. As a control group, families were used where the husband (male, not alcoholic - MNBA) and the wife had no signs of alcohol dependence (63 married couples). The results of the study were subjected to statistical processing based on MS Excel 2007 and STATISTIKA 7.0. Results: comparing the main indicators of the stability of alcoholic and non-alcoholic marriages, we obtained traditional results, comparable with the data of the majority of researchers. According to the presence of divorces in the anamnesis, IBA families are in the lead in comparison with MNBA families, and the number of divorces in the anamnesis of the IBA and their wives is almost the same (19.35% and 22.58% respectively). However, we also discovered a number of "illogicalities" in this dynamic, which do not fit into the classical scheme outlined in the introductory part of this paper. 82.26% of spouses in "alcoholic" marriages consider satisfactory or good marriages, while 53.84% of them believe that marriage at the time of the survey is threatened with divorce (in the families of the MNBA the divorce threatens only 6.45%), And 95.98% of respondents of this group are satisfied with their marital relations. Thus, since the current alcohol family is a system where both spouses often have an autoaggressive orientation, the dynamics of the development of family relations in such cases imply the formation of "special" family relationships that have both a social (external) and psychological (Internal) context, which is consonant with the opinion of other authors. Such relations serve as a way of the most acceptable spontaneous reaction of one's own autoaggressiveness. This mechanism is expedient to recognize as a variant of "pathological", in its essence, protection of spouses in alcoholic families from awareness and direct realization of their own autoaggressiveness.
