Abstract:
This article provides a clinical framework for a dualistic group treatment model: abstinence-based treatment for alcohol dependent individuals and moderation training for problem drinkers. The major premises of these models are set forth, compared, and contrasted. An integrated approach for synthesizing these models is then detailed along with suggestions for clinical implementation and management of countertransference.
