Besides, the topic of maintaining women’s health is one of the priorities of modern Medicine and psychology.Objectives: This study aims to assess the psychological effects of the program «Adult children of alcoholics» (Twelve-step program) for Russian women who grew up in alcoholic families.Methods: The study involved 80 women who grew up in alcoholic families aged 18 to 44. Participants performed the following assess- ment: “Purpose-in-Life Test” (Leontiev, 2000), “The Coping Strat- egy Indicator” (Amirkhan, 1990), The Reflexivity Test (Karpov, 2003), The Test of the Personal Self-conception (Stolin, Panteleev, 1998), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (Spielberger, et al., 1983), Beck Depression Inventory.Results: Women attend the twelve-step program for more than 2.5 years differ from women attended less than 6 sessions of the program as well as women grew up in prosperous families by higher rates of «Problem Solving» coping strategy (23,913,28 vs 19,345,67 vs 19,266,48; P=0,001); coping strategy «Seeking Social Support» (24,643,44 vs 19,415,76 vs 20,708,09; P=0,006); meaningfulness of life (Purpose-in-Life Test) (27,835,17 vs 21,247,53 vs 24,047,22; P=0,009).
