Background: Although alcoholism is considered a growing problem in contemporary societies, we still know little about its presence and its psychotherapeutic approaches in women living in Balkan countries. Aim: In this research we studied empirically, as well as through a case study, the prevalence of the main types of alcoholism in Bulgarian women. Methodology: Primary quantitative data collection from a sample of 140 participants across Bulgaria (57 women; 83 men) are analyzed and a case study is conducted. Results: Lesch Type III alcoholism is found to be most prevalent in Bulgarian women (70 %). Conclusions: The findings of this study, although preliminary, support the claim that the clinical appearance of alcohol addiction in Bulgarian women should be studied through the prism of Type III characteristics according to Lesch’s alcoholism dependence typology. The emphasis is on the need to develop a successful psychotherapeutic system based on specific psychological principles and on the objective of individual change, consistent both with gender characteristics and peculiarities of female alcoholism Type III.
