Key studies on how treatment organisations affect implementation and effectiveness of psychosocial therapies. Starts with the contention from an influential research stable that “organizational climate underlies the entire process of innovation adoption,” and highlights the study which forcefully brought that home to US researchers. Then addresses three key issues:
- Is your service even ready to *attempt* to change?
- Change driven by money versus humanitarian mission; just as good for patients?
- The stultifying effect of high staff...

This fact sheet provides up-to-date information and guidance on the links between alcohol and a range of cancers, including some of the most common types, such as female breast cancer and colorectal cancer, for those involved in designing and implementing policies that affect public health.
It sets out policy options to reduce the alcohol-attributable cancer burden within the WHO European Region, making clear that there is strong evidence that the implementation of cost-effective alcohol control policies including pricing policies (or policies that increase the price of alcohol) will...

Key studies on managing and supervising psychosocial treatments for problem drinking. Starts with an essay from two leading researchers into these treatments, “bravely questioning what it’s all been for” when routine implementation has proved elusive. Highlights the study which found “leaders ... have a cascading impact on their staff in ways other than through mandate”, then addresses two key issues:
- Workshop training has limited effects - so is ‘coaching’ the right model for producing good counsellors and therapists?
- Find out then reveal to the...
Just two alcohol treatment studies have tested Carl Rogers’ classic account of the “necessary and sufficient conditions” for effective therapy. Each stripped out motivational interviewing’s directive elements, leaving only ‘Rogerian’ empathic and reflective listening. Did the clients do just as well? If the iconoclastic Rogers who “doubted every authority including his own” had lived to find out, he might have felt his doubts only partly justified.

Buenos días considero que es muy importante el apoyo de la familia en el tratamiento de la adicción en el usuario y que pasa cuando la familia ya lo abandono, ya que muchos usuarios buscan ayuda cuando la enfermedad avanzo muchos años y eso hace que el tratamiento se complique y al buscar apoyo en la familia muchos de ellos ya que no quieren saber nada del usuario, el reto en sacarlo adelante al usuario es un desafío para el profesional.
Key studies on the impact of the practitioner in psychosocial therapies for alcohol dependence. Structured around Carl Rogers’ classic account of the “necessary and sufficient conditions” for effective therapy. Highlights the seminal alcohol study that validated empathy, understanding and warmth, and explores three key issues:
- Is Rogerian ‘sounding board’ listening really all that’s needed?
- Does being genuine entail contravening other Rogerian mandates?
- If therapists are influential, why don’t more studies register their effects?
Considero que los medios de comunicación son una fuente importante de información pero también de desinformación como en este caso; muchas veces nos proporcionan estadísticas sin base científica como lo señala el video. Es responsabilidad de nosotros como receptores confirmar si lo que nos dicen es verdad. Pensar que una moderada cantidad de alcohol es saludable para el consumidor es una manera de justificarnos por consumir, nos decimos a nosotros mismos que es bueno sin haber confirmado el resultado en algún estudio clínico por ejemplo, ese considero es nuestro error.
Starting point in last week’s exploration of psychosocial therapies was 2018’s “impressively wise overview” of research on ‘common factors’ they share from a task force with the authority of the American Psychological Association. It was the third such project, the first of which in 1999 represented a turning point in a movement which dates back at least to 1936 and Saul Rosenzweig’s brief seminal paper, elaborated 25 years later by Jerome Frank into one of the most influential books on psychosocial therapy. Explore with us these landmarks and how they...
