Abstract
This overview of current methods, problems, and results of psychological treatment for alcohol abuse, including alcoholism, begins by considering three common and troublesome assumptions about such treatment. A discussion of external and internal validity problems that are specific to alcoholism treatment research follows, and promising solutions are reviewed. Current data are discussed on who is treated for alcohol problems in this country. Next, detailed consideration is given to factors that predict response to alcoholism treatment, including variables associated with treatment type, setting, and intensity; such factors specific to patients as age, gender, ethnicity, socioeconomic status and education, psychopathology, marital and occupational status, and motivation for change; and environmental and other extratreatment factors. The article concludes with a review of current data on nonproblem-drinking treatment goals.
