Demand-withdraw couple interaction moderates retention in cognitive-behavioral versus family-systems treatments for alcoholism
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to analyze relational Attribute x Treatment interactions (ATI) based on the treatment dimensions associated with demand-withdraw interaction patterns in alcohol-involved couples. A data collection protocol was utilized to determine drinking behavior before, during and after treatment. Results revealed the importance of relational moderators in ATI studies. Findings also correlated family relationship attributes with differential responses to couple treatments for alcohol abuse.
