Alcohol-related expectancies: have they a role in the understanding and treatment of problem drinking?
Abstract:
This paper reviews the theoretical and empirical literature on the role of alcohol-related expectancies in problem drinking. It is shown that alcohol-related expectancies are involved in the initiation, maintenance and treatment of problem drinking. Given that alcohol-related expectancies can influence the consumption of alcohol, it is argued that any future theoretical model and applied treatment programme for problem drinkers must include the interplay among pharmacological, environmental and cognitive, in particular alcohol-related expectancies variables.
