One of the disontogenetic comorbidity factors (DCF) in alcohol addiction formation is presence of scenario sexual incongruence on cultural level in couples, where the woman suffers from alcohol addiction, and at the same time displays the signs of psychosexual ontogenesis disturbance. In order to distinguish DCF of forming combined forms of alcohol addiction in women 46 patients with alcohol addiction and psychosexual development disorder in the form of sexual tactile preferences disturbance (STPD) were examined with the help of clinical psychopathological, clinical sexopathologic and statistic methods of investigation. For the first time, on the basis of comparative study of clinical characteristics of culture−bound sexual scenarios in the investigated women the data about the structure of culture−bound sexual scenarios, predominant scenario type and variants of culture−bound sexual scenarios combinations in couples were received. The obtained findings are important for understanding the process of comorbid alcohol addiction formation in women with psychosexual development disturbances in the form of STPD and for development of differentiated therapeutic programs in this combined pathology.
