Behavioral Couples Therapy When Both Partners Have a Current Alcohol Use Disorder

摘要

Although behavioral couples therapy (BCT) has considerable support in treating alcohol use disorder (AUD), studies have not examined BCT for dual-problem couples in which both partners have current AUD. This study compared outcomes after BCT for dual-problem couples (n = 20) with outcomes for single-problem couples in which only one partner had AUD (n = 386). Results showed that dual-problem and single-problem couples did not differ significantly on degree of improvement in abstinence following BCT. A case example illustrates the application of BCT when both partners have a current AUD.View full textDownload full textKEYWORDSAlcoholism, couples therapy, treatment outcomesRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; var addthis_config = {"data_track_addressbar":true,"ui_click":true}; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/07347324.2012.718963
