Name of Project: Psychotherapy Process in Alcoholism Treatment Matching
Principal Investigator: Mitchell P. Karno, Ph.D.
Funding Agency: National Institutes of Health/National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism
Funding Period: September 2004 – August 2008
Scope of Project: This project examines interactions between therapist behaviors and patient attributes in behavioral treatment for alcoholism. The project uses causal chain analysis to identify the mechanisms underlying these interaction effects, hence providing insight into why and how alcohol treatments work. A multi-dimensional matching typology will be developed based on the study’s findings to provide treatment providers with practical guidelines to improve the drinking outcomes of alcohol patients.
