Abstract:
This experimental study examined effectiveness of two group therapy models on chemically dependent women's perceptions of self-efficacy and personal control. Participants were randomly assigned to two therapeutic approaches (experiential or cognitive) or the control group. Experimental and control groups were pre- and posttested on self-efficacy and personal control. Significant differences were found for social self-efficacy, with the cognitive and experiential groups having higher scores than the control group. Changes from pre- to posttest in social self-efficacy were greatest for the cognitive group. This study indicated that additional brief therapeutic interventions beyond those generally offered in drug rehabilitation programs are modestly useful.
