“…Participants were drawn from a larger randomized control trial ( N = 63 couples) that investigated the efficacy of couple-focused Family Systems Therapy (FST; n = 17) and couple-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT; n = 16) for problematic alcohol use (Beutler et al, 1993; Beutler, Shoham, Jacob, & Rohrbaugh, 1997). Couples were included in the present study if they had unambiguously successful ( n = 18) or unsuccessful ( n = 15) patient-reported drinking outcomes at treatment termination (i.e., the patient maintained alcohol abstinence for 30 days prior to termination or had more than one heavy drinking day in the same period, respectively).…”

“…During the pre-intervention assessment session, couples also engaged in a videotaped marital interaction task (MIT) administered by research assistants, who instructed the couples discuss the patient's problematic alcohol use for ten minutes. Couples were randomly assigned to FST or CBT (Beutler et al, 1993; Shoham et al, 1998). Both interventions consisted of 20 sessions.…”

Incorporating spouses into interventions for problematic alcohol use is associated with increased efficacy; yet, little is known about the therapeutic processes that may explain these effects. In a study of partner language use during couple-focused alcohol interventions, we utilized a linguistic corpus comparison tool, Wmatrix, to identify semantic themes that differentiated couples with successful and unsuccessful treatment outcomes, and may therefore also reflect potential change processes. Thirty-three couples participated in a randomized control trial of Family Systems Therapy (FST) or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Linguistic comparisons of partners' speech during the therapy sessions suggested that drinks and alcohol was a significant differentiating semantic theme. Specifically, patients and spouses in FST with successful outcomes used more language related to drinks and alcohol than patients and spouses in FST with unsuccessful outcomes. Post-hoc analyses of context suggested that, in FST, successful spouses spoke less about the patient's drinking and more about alcohol in general (without reference to an individual) than unsuccessful spouses. Conversely, spouses in CBT with successful outcomes used less language related to drinks and alcohol than spouses in CBT with unsuccessful outcomes. In CBT, successful spouses spoke more about the patient's and couple's drinking, and less about the spouse's and other people's drinking than unsuccessful spouses. Results emphasize the role of spouse behavior—in this case indexed via language use—in alcohol treatment outcomes. Findings also suggest potentially distinct therapeutic processes in FST and CBT, and highlight the utility of linguistic corpus comparison methods in couple-focused intervention research.

“…With the development of DSM-V in progress, research has been growing on the validity of using typologies or a dimensional approach when diagnosing clients, in order to better understand and treat them (e.g., Babor & Caetano, 2006). Beutler et al (1993) suggest matching treatment to alcoholic subtypes, indicating for "internalizing" and "externalizing" subtypes, there appears to be more benefit with family therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy, respectively.

This study utilized data from a National Institute on Drug Abuse and National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism funded community-based HIV prevention program in the Midwest in 2000. We categorized women who met lifetime criteria for alcohol dependence (using the DIS) and who also had used cocaine (n = 324) into four alcohol typologies based on onset of regular drinking and the length of time to dependence. The Risk Behavior Assessment measured sex behaviors, combined into a risk index, before and after the program. Generalized linear modeling compared decreases over time. Women who began drinking regularly later and became dependent more slowly significantly decreased risky sex behaviors. Tailored prevention protocols may more effectively decrease HIV risk.
