Abstract:
The effectiveness of the self-help method for parents of substance addicted offsprings, using a mixed-methods approach was assessed in two samples (n = 92 and n = 6) of parents attending self-help groups in a therapy center for dependent individuals in Athens, Greece. The data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA as well as Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Results indicate that the self-help method contributes to the decrease of anxiety, the adoption of effective coping strategies, and the improvement of family dynamics. Study limitations and implications for clinical practice are discussed.
