Abstract
Observations on the wife of the alcoholic have been made from various standpoints. Bailey (1961), reviewing the literature, points out that interest has moved from the simple need to include her in her husband's treatment regime to seeing her as an individual who is herself handicapped, and emphasis has been placed on her dependency needs.Keywords
