This article reports results of a study designed to determine differences among three populations: college-aged children of alcoholics seeking treatment; college-aged children of alcoholics not seeking treatment; and a control group of college-aged non-children of alcoholics. Further, outcome data was gathered with regard to the children of alcoholics treatment groups populated by subjects of this study. Significant differences were determined among the three groups studied, and support was determined for the therapeutic value of group treatment with children of alcoholics.
