摘要：

Twenty-nine women, sent to an inpatient treatment facility for rehabilitation and social training after treatment for heavy alcohol abuse, were compared with 29 female students of pharmacy or medicine with regard to platelet monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity and extraversion-impulsivity and anxiety-proneness personality traits. The alcoholic females were found to have slightly lower platelet MAO activity than the controls, the difference being considerably smaller than that previously found between male alcoholics and male controls. The personality pattern of the female alcoholics is in line with that previously found in alcoholic males. Thus, the female alcoholics were characterized by high anxiety proneness, impulsive acting-out behaviour, sensation seeking, social withdrawal, and a hostile attitude.
