Abstract
Thirty-one habitual drinkers with a personal, familial, social complication were screened from a Taiwan aborigine community. Each was given an in-depth descriptive semistructured interview. The interview, recorded with audiotape, contained 4 aspects: (1) personal developmental history; (2) family structure and interaction; (3) developmental process and current state of drinking behavior, and (4) attitude toward drinking behavior. Based on the evolving process and current state of drinking behavior, three process patterns of alcoholism were defined: (1) social developmental type (67.7%); (2) deviant behavioral type (9.7%), and (3) special constitutional type (22.6%).
