Associations between parental communication and adolescent emotion regulation are well-documented however, it is unclear whether the parent’s actual communication behavior or adolescents’ perceptions of the parent’s behavior is a more robust predictor of emotion regulation outcomes. This study used Baumrind’s parenting styles typology as a theoretical foundation for examining parents’ enacted responsiveness and control and adolescents’ perceptions of their parent’s responsiveness and control during conversation as competing predictors of adolescents’ self-reported emotion regulation during two parent-child interactions. Sixty parent-adolescent dyads participated in an interaction-based study comparing communication dynamics between families with (n = 30) and without harmful parental alcohol use (n = 30). Parent-child interactions were coded by outside observers for the presence of parental responsiveness and control and adolescents completed self-report measures of their perceptions of the parent’s responsiveness and control and their own emotion regulation following the interactions. Results indicated that adolescent perceptions of parental communication were stronger predictors of adolescent emotion regulation than the observed parental communication behavior. In addition, perceived parental control was more strongly associated with adolescent emotion regulation in families with harmful parental alcohol use.","PeriodicalId":45949,"journal":{"name":"Alcoholism Treatment Quarterly","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47499411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The researcher’s Socio-Demographic Information Form, Coopersmith Self-esteem Inventory (CSEI) and The Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness Scale (ISMI) were applied to the participants. The data of the study was collected in person between 10th of May – 31st of December 2021 at the Alcohol and Drug Addiction Research, Treatment and Education Center (AMATEM). The mean CSEI score of participants was 39,51 ± 11,84, and the mean ISMI score was 78,70 ± 9,70. It was discovered that the social withdrawal scores of the unemployed are higher than those of the retired (p < .05). There was a positive correlation between social withdrawal and self-esteem r = 0.172, and stigma resistance and self-esteem r = 0.14 (p = 0,033 < 0.05).

Yet, studies have not examined how dedicated supporters perceive substance use, and what treatment needs they have. In this study, seven dedicated supporters were interviewed about their perceptions of supporter culture, the relational aspects of it, substance use patterns, and treatment needs. The interviews were analyzed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. The participants could not imagine supporter culture without alcohol. Three participants had experienced difficulties with substances. All were ambivalent about substance use patterns among supporters and understood the risks. Simultaneously, they appreciated the support, familiarity, and sense of being part of something larger that supporter culture provided. Some sensed that the companionship could be supportive for those struggling with substances. Others sensed that the closeness of the group hindered recovery. Participants underlined agency and responsibility and sensed that one needs to understand why one made the choice to be part of a group that was characterized by substance use patterns connected to traditional masculine ideals. Therefore, assessment and treatment need to be person-centered, acknowledge choices, the context, the gendered behaviors that are enacted through substance use, and whether the context could support or hinder recover.","PeriodicalId":45949,"journal":{"name":"Alcoholism Treatment Quarterly","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45115371","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nevertheless, achieving better-than-expected outcomes in the face of adversity is by no means an unusual outcome for those young people. This study presents an understanding of the interactional resilience process between 15 National University of Lesotho undergraduate students and people in their social environment as a result of sharing adverse experiences. An interactional resilience perspective that builds on from the social-ecology and person-in-environment viewpoints on resilience, informed the study. Various in-depth interviews were conducted together with a draw-and-write technique. Findings show that the sharing of similar and diverse adverse experiences between young people raised by alcohol-misusing caregivers and significant people in their social ecology improved their resilience. Given the significance of sharing adverse experiences by the participants, established in this study, support groups (e.g., at schools, churches, community centers) could be very helpful in promoting the resilience of vulnerable young people. Social service practitioners, working with young people growing up in vulnerable environments, should help these young people develop interactive skills including the ability to be more communicative and be more receptive to sharing hard to share experiences with trustworthy people.","PeriodicalId":45949,"journal":{"name":"Alcoholism Treatment Quarterly","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41682902","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Research on the helpfulness of recovery community centers is limited. The purpose of this paper was to describe what Staff and Member Facilitators perceived as helpful components of a recovery community center. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 Staff and six Member Facilitators of a recovery community center, Recovery Café, in Seattle, Washington. Qualitative interviews were analyzed via grounded theory approach. Eleven themes emerged on the helpful components of Recovery Café, including tangible/infrastructure and intangible/experiential strengths. Three themes related to opportunities for program improvement. Many themes on the helpful components were consistent with prior research on recovery community centers and other supports for recovery. Findings provide insight into potential active ingredients and mechanisms of recovery community centers and highlight the potential role of recovery capital. Additional research is needed to test these components to improve the understanding of if and how recovery community centers work to support people with substance use disorders in recovery.","PeriodicalId":45949,"journal":{"name":"Alcoholism Treatment Quarterly","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48703472","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We used clinical data mining (CDM) methodology for this study. The clinical data we used is from client records at three substance use day treatment locations (N = 444). These sites operate under the same agency. We analyzed four measures of positive interpersonal associations including outside support systems, substance-using housing environments, 12-Step involvement, and sponsorship in a 12-Step program. Using 10 imputed datasets to run the model, we found these variables to not significantly influence treatment length of stay. However, there was a significant relationship between number of children each client had and length of stay. Results suggest that other factors may better account for varying time clients spend in treatment. Further research on the effect of other influences, such as interpersonal associations specifically within treatment, on a client’s length of stay is important.","PeriodicalId":45949,"journal":{"name":"Alcoholism Treatment Quarterly","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45755960","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
