Abstract
OBJECTIVE
This study tested a highly individualized cognitive-behavioral coping skills treatment for alcohol use disorder (AUD). Recent studies have indicated that coping skills training programs are not always effective. A possible explanation is that the training provided in these programs may not address the specific needs of the patient. The Individualized Assessment and Treatment Program (IATP) was intended to provide a highly individualized approach to the training of skills most relevant for each individual.
METHOD
Men and women with AUD (N = 173) were randomly assigned to one of three, manualized, 12-session treatments: IATP, a conventional (Packaged) cognitive-behavioral program (PCBT), or a Case Management control condition (CaseM). An experience sampling (ES) procedure was employed prior to, and during, treatment to record alcohol use and coping behaviors in all patients. In IATP, this information was used by therapists to plan treatment that would address the specific strengths and weaknesses of each patient in alcohol-use situations. ES data were collected at multiple time points and patients were followed every 3 months out to 21 months posttreatment.
RESULTS
Multilevel model analyses indicated that IATP yielded better drinking outcomes than the CaseM or PCBT conditions. Mediation analyses indicated that the effects of IATP versus the other treatments on outcomes were accounted for at least partly by changes in active coping with high-risk situations.
CONCLUSION
Due to the limited diversity of the sample, generalizability of the results may be limited. Results are discussed in terms of the importance of tailoring treatment for the individual patient. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology® (JCCP) publishes original contributions on the following topics: the development, validity, and use of techniques of diagnosis and treatment of disordered behaviorstudies of a variety of populations that have clinical interest, including but not limited to medical patients, ethnic minorities, persons with serious mental illness, and community samplesstudies that have a cross-cultural or demographic focus and are of interest for treating behavior disordersstudies of personality and of its assessment and development where these have a clear bearing on problems of clinical dysfunction and treatmentstudies of gender, ethnicity, or sexual orientation that have a clear bearing on diagnosis, assessment, and treatmentstudies of psychosocial aspects of health behaviors. Studies that focus on populations that fall anywhere within the lifespan are considered. JCCP welcomes submissions on treatment and prevention in all areas of clinical and clinical–health psychology and especially on topics that appeal to a broad clinical–scientist and practitioner audience. JCCP encourages the submission of theory–based interventions, studies that investigate mechanisms of change, and studies of the effectiveness of treatments in real-world settings. JCCP recommends that authors of clinical trials pre-register their studies with an appropriate clinical trial registry (e.g., ClinicalTrials.gov, ClinicalTrialsRegister.eu) though both registered and unregistered trials will continue to be considered at this time.
