This study is intended to show how depression impact on abstinent self-efficacy among A.A. members and find the pathway of an indirect mediating role between depression and abstinent self-efficacy by analysing subject` s insight and social support. To achieve this objective, depression was established as a predictive variable, insight and social support as mediating variables; and abstinent self-efficacy as an outcome variable. Subjects for this study consisted of 375 A.A. members. The data was analyzed by using the SPSS/Win 18.0program, AMOS. The result of this study suggests that a partial mediation model which established insight and social support as a mediating variable relationship between depression and abstinent self-efficacy among A.A. members were appropriate. As a result of investigating the pathway process between variables, it was found that the higher the severity of depression the higher the level of insight and social support; the higher the degree of insight the higher the level of abstinent self-efficacy. As a result of examining direct, indirect, and total effects, the study indicated that insight and social support had an indirect effect via the mediating variable. Study implications were discussed in terms of psychiatric social workers input into treatment programs and rehabilitation for alcoholic patients.
