research and behavioral medicine, the scope of research on alcoholism treatment has broadened in recent years. Researchers are beginning to examine the degree of implementation of alcoholism treatments, treatment processes (i.e., the relationships between various aspects of treatment and treatment outcome), and the role of life context or extratreatment factors (such as stressful life events) in the recovery-relapse process. Examples of these trends from alcoholism treatment evaluations are presented within the context of an integrative, process-oriented evaluation framework. Implications of these developments for research and practice are discussed with respect to matching patients with treatments and the instrumental and conceptual value of the results of alcoholism treatment evaluations.
