这项研究分析了55名脱落率高的患者在出院后3个月内戒酒互助会(AA)的参与情况。会议出席率分为三个级别：低级别、中等级别和“90天内90次会议”。最感兴趣的是，尽管参加了大量会议，但中层群体对戒酒实践表现出了浓厚的兴趣，也就是说，他们承认自己无能为力，但对更高权力概念的热情较低，并显著故态复萌；他们很可能有赞助商；但较少参与戒酒协会的其他成员；他们报告了12个步骤的工作，但对戒酒文献不太感兴趣。研究结果表明，参加戒酒协会但难以接受该计划关键方面的个人需要专业帮助，更多地关注戒酒协会的实践和原则，而不是会议出席率。从属关系的障碍也可以作为促进咨询目标和从属关系的机会。(C)1998年爱思唯尔科学公司。
This study analyzed the Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) participation of 55 patients during the 3 months after their discharge from structured treatment, when dropout is high. Three levels of meeting attendance were discerned: low, mid-level, and "90 meetings in 90 days." Of greatest interest, the midlevel group showed mired interest in AA practices despite substantial meeting attendance, that is, they admitted powerlessness, but had less enthusiasm for the higher power concept, and relapsed significantly; they were likely to have a sponsor; but were less involved with other AA members; and they reported working the 12 Steps, but were less interested in the AA literature. Findings suggest that individuals who are attending AA but having difficulty embracing key aspects of the program need professional assistance that focuses more on AA practices and tenets and less on meeting attendance. Barriers to affiliation can also serve as opportunities for furthering both counseling goals and affiliation. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Inc.
