From the Paper:

"A number of conceptual assumptions serve as the foundation for this research. One of the key assumptions of the study is that PMS, perimenopause and/or menopause can operate, through the various symptoms associated with each of these conditions, contribute increased psychoemotional and physical stress to the lives of women in general and recovering alcoholic women in particular. A second assumption of the study is that the degree of stress associated with the symptoms of PMS, perimenopause and menopause can be significantly reduced and/or eliminated by certain interventions such as changes in lifestyle, improvement in eating habits and nutrition, exercise, and hormone replacement therapy."
