Abstract:
The aim was to describe discrepancies between patients' and spouses' dyadic adjustment scores, spouse strain and patients' temptation to drink during abstinence. Patients overestimated the dyadic adjustment scores of their partner and spouses underestimated patients' scores. Spouses overestimated patients' temptation to drink. Correlations between patients' and spouses' scores were generally high (.61 to .78) except for five measures of spouse strain which were lower (.31 to .50). Results show discrepancies concerning marital function and the temptation to drink which could be important when planning treatment and prevention of relapse.
