✦ Synopsis

Male alcoholic veterans were sex-typed more frequently as feminine than masculine on the PRF ANDRO when compared to college males or older, nonalcoholic veterans ( N = 123). Endorsement of passive-feminine characteristics among alcoholics (I) is interpreted to be a consequence, not a cause of the disorder; (2) is considered reversible with the achievement of sustained sobriety; and (3) is a feature that possibly needs to be addressed directly in order to facilitate successful therapeutic interventions.
