“…The experiences and characteristics of women who drink heavily are different than those of men. Women are more likely to drink in private, be divorced single parents, from a minority group, and they are likely to be depressed (Kagle, 1987).…”

We examined the negative and positive adjustment of divorced custodial parents across several areas of functioning, including depression, hostility, alcohol use, and well-being. Differences among custodial mothers and fathers were evaluated, followed by a series of hierarchical regressions that were used to evaluate factors contributing to negative and positive outcomes for the two groups. Compared to custodial fathers, custodial mothers were significantly younger, less likely to cohabit, and they had less income and more economic strain. In terms of their functioning, mothers experienced greater depression and hostility than fathers, but they were less likely to drink excessively. There were no differences in the family functioning, life satisfaction, personal mastery, or well-being of custodial mothers and fathers. We concluded that custodial parents differ in their negative adjustment, but not their positive adjustment, and that custodial fathers have fewer problems with ad-

“…A drunken man may be perceived as funny, whereas a drunken woman is often viewed as obnoxious or unfeminine. 18 Some women have a tendency to become verbally aggressive when they drink, violating gender role norms. 19 Because women on crack often sell sex for drugs, this activity may result in further conflicts about appropriate female behavior.…”

This study examines the prevalence of physical and sexual abuse by intimate and commercial sexual partners among street-based sex workers and explores correlates of partner abuse by commercial partners using the following factors: sociodemographics, substance abuse, sexual behavior, and physical and sexual childhood abuse. One hundred thirteen street sex workers were recruited from December 1996 through May 1997 while receiving services from the Foundations for Research on Sexually Transmitted Diseases (FROST'D), a nonprofit organization based in New York City. Partner abuse is a common occurrence among street sex workers. Two of three street prostitutes have experienced lifetime physical or sexual abuse by either an intimate or commercial partner. In addition, one of eight reported physical and sexual abuse by both intimate and commercial partners during her lifetime. Women who were homeless in the last year, those who reported exchanging for drugs and money as their main source of income, used injection drugs in the past year and had sex in crack houses, and who were human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive were more likely to be report combined physical and sexual abuse. Understanding the relationship between partner violence, victim's substance abuse, and HIV-risk behavior is important for the development of public policies and treatment and prevention strategies to address the constellation of problems that drug-using female street sex workers face.

“…Women tend to suffer from more severe depression and lower self-esteem than men (Hunt & Seeman, 1990;Uziel-Miller, Lyons, Kissiel & Love, 1997). Lastly, addicted women are often single or coupled with a non-abstinent partner (Kelly, 1992;Hunt & Seeman, 1990;Kagle, 1987).…”

“…Treatment programs for substance-abusing women are extremely limited (Chavkin, Breitbart, Elman & Wise, 1998) and the existing options generally follow male-oriented models of recovery that are psychologically inappropriate for most women (Kagle, 1987;Sutker, 1981). Many women, for instance, have been found to express a dislike for the confrontational atmosphere common to male recovery programs.…”

Low-level drug offenses are presently the top reason women are sent to jail. Because more than 70% of these incarcerated women are the primary caretakers of children, incarceration has resulted in a sharp rise in foster care demand. Research suggests that incarcerated women who remain with their children are more likely to enter and complete treatment. This paper reviews the effects of incarceration and the available treatment options for substance-abusing women with children. A self-supported, self-run, alternative treatment model known as Oxford Lucia d'Arlach and Carmen E. Curtis were affiliated with Department of Psychology, DePaul University at the time of submission of the manuscript.
