Abstract
We propose the hypothesis that, by drinking strong alcohol traumatized women try to accentuate their dissociative tendencies via chemical dissociation. Unfortunately, this defence mechanism is destructive. Systematic screening for a history of trauma in alcohol-dependent women is important in order to propose management adapted to their specific psychopathological profile.
