โœฆ Synopsis

This study examined three outcomes of assertion training considered relevant for alcoholics: (a) assertive behavior in negative situations; (b) discomfort in negative situations that call for assertive behavior; and (c) expectations of assertive behavior in sober vs. intoxicated states. Subjects were 38 male alcoholics in an inpatient treatment program. Although some behavioral competencies were acquired after assertion training, such training did not differentially reduce discomfort in negative situations or the discrepancy between perceptions of assertivenss in sober vs. intoxicated states at posttest or at 6-week follow-up.

Assertion training is a standard component of multimodal treatments for alcoholism . Assertion training is included in alcoholism treatment programs because some alcoholics are deficient in assertive skills and because such skills can facilitate adaptive coping with stress, a determinant of drinking in alcoholics .

Outcome studies have not shown consistently that assertion training increases alcoholics' tendency to respond to interpersonal stress with assertive rather than drinking behavior.
