Abstract

Introduction

Self-compassion and self-forgiveness are two self-focused, positive coping approaches that may reduce risk of problem drinking and/or aid in treatment/recovery from alcohol use disorder. The present systematic review aimed to evaluate support for the unique and complementary roles of self-compassion and self-forgiveness in alcohol outcomes.

Methods

A systematic literature search yielded 18 studies examining self-compassion, 18 studies examining self-forgiveness and 1 study examining both constructs in alcohol outcomes.

Results

Findings suggest greater self-compassion and self-forgiveness relate to lower likelihood of problem drinking. Self-forgiveness was considerably more researched in treatment/recovery outcomes than self-compassion; self-forgiveness-based interventions appear able to improve drinking-adjacent outcomes, and self-forgiveness may increase across various alcohol treatments. Finally, research suggests that associations of self-compassion and/or self-forgiveness with alcohol outcomes could be driven by numerous factors, including coping-motivated drinking, depression, psychache, social support perceptions, mental health status and/or psychiatric distress.

Conclusions

Self-compassion and self-forgiveness both appear protective against harmful alcohol outcomes. Nevertheless, many questions remain about the role of self-forgiveness and, particularly, self-compassion in alcohol treatment and recovery outcomes. Future research should examine whether targeted interventions and/or adjunctive therapeutic supports designed to increase self-compassion or self-forgiveness can reduce alcohol use disorder symptoms to facilitate alcohol treatment and recovery success.

酒精风险、治疗和康复中的自我同情和自我宽恕：系统回顾。

导言：自我同情和自我宽恕是两种以自我为中心的积极应对方法，可降低问题饮酒的风险和/或帮助酒精使用障碍的治疗/康复。本系统综述旨在评估自我同情和自我宽恕在酒精治疗中的独特和互补作用：方法：通过系统性文献检索，得出了 18 项关于自我同情的研究、18 项关于自我宽恕的研究以及 1 项关于这两种构建在酒精结果中的作用的研究：结果：研究结果表明，更多的自我同情和自我宽恕与降低问题饮酒的可能性有关。与自我同情相比，自我宽恕在治疗/康复结果方面的研究要多得多；基于自我宽恕的干预似乎能够改善与饮酒相关的结果，而且自我宽恕可能会在各种酒精治疗中得到增强。最后，研究表明，自我同情和/或自我宽恕与酗酒结果之间的关联可能受多种因素的影响，包括应对动机型饮酒、抑郁、心理痛苦、社会支持感、心理健康状况和/或精神痛苦：结论：自我同情和自我宽恕似乎都对有害的酒精结果具有保护作用。然而，关于自我宽恕，尤其是自我同情在酒精治疗和康复结果中的作用，仍存在许多问题。未来的研究应探讨旨在增加自我同情或自我宽恕的针对性干预措施和/或辅助治疗支持是否能减少酒精使用障碍症状，从而促进酒精治疗和康复的成功。
