|
Since the emergence of Alcoholics Anonymous (A.A.) in 1935 and 12-step program in 1939, many addicts have been helped by attending the program. Some addicts, however, have resistance against attending A.A. meetings. Twelve Step Facilitation Therapy (TSF), developed through the Project MATCH Research in 1989, has helped the addicts overcome barriers to attend the meetings. Considering the effectiveness and worldwide use of TSF in treating addicts, several aspects of TSF were reviewed in this study : 1) differences between TSF and A.A. 12- step program, 2) the effectiveness of TSF, 3) the roles and desired characteristics of TSF therapists, 4) the structure and contents of TSF, 5) a case of TSF group therapy, and 6) complementary relationship among 12-step program, Motivational Interviewing (Five Stages of Change), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Clinicians are recommended to understand the importance and effectiveness of TSF and use it for treating addicts.
