Through in-depth interviews with 10(ten) male and 10(ten) female self-identified recovering alcoholics, this study examines the gender-related differences in pathways to alcoholism diagnosis and treatment. Respondents' stories suggest that while denial of the diagnosis delays appropriate treatment for both men and women, gender-related differences in the nature of the denial systems, such as who makes the diagnosis, who responds to it and how, keep women from such treatment more often than men. This applies irrespective of other gender differences in actual drinking behavior or rationale, symptoms (including psychopathology), time of onset or course of illness.
