Family and peer interventions for adults: Past approaches and future directions.

Fernandez, Anne C., Begley, Ellen A., Marlatt, G. Alan·2006·Psychology of Addictive Behaviors

Abstract

Through the use of published literature and empirical research, the authors explore the differing conceptual frameworks, techniques, and effectiveness of various family interventions for change-resistant, substance-abusing adults. The 2 dominant programs in place to help families and friends deal with the addiction of an adult loved one are the Johnson Intervention and Al-Anon. Research on these 2 programs is presented, followed by an outline of promising alternative approaches. These include A Relational Intervention Sequence for Engagement, Community Reinforcement Training, Community Reinforcement and Family Training, Unilateral Family Therapy, and Pressures to Change. The effectiveness and appropriateness of these approaches in different situations are discussed. In addition, areas in need of further study are pointed out.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
