Marriage and family services have not been widely recognized as part of employee assistance programs (EAP), although family and relational problems are widely cited as sources of problems on the job. EAP clients (N = 800, 97% self-referred) indicated how much family, psychological/emotional, drug, alcohol, employment-related, legal, and medical problems troubled them and the need for services in each area. Psychological/emotional (66%) and family (65%) problem areas frequently were rated "considerable" or "extreme." Both areas were rated as "considerable" or "extreme" by 48.6% of participants. In view of the evidence that marriage and family services can be effective with both family and psychological/emotional problems, professionals who are competent to provide such services have much to offer EAP programs.
婚姻和家庭服务尚未被广泛视为员工援助计划(EAP)的一部分,尽管家庭和人际关系问题被广泛认为是工作中问题的来源。EAP的客户(N = 800,97%为自我推荐)表示,家庭、心理/情绪、药物、酒精、与就业相关、法律和医疗问题给他们带来了多大困扰,以及在每个领域对服务的需求。心理/情绪问题领域(66%)和家庭问题领域(65%)经常被评为“相当大”或“极其严重”。48.6%的参与者将这两个领域都评为“相当大”或“极其严重”。鉴于有证据表明婚姻和家庭服务对家庭问题和心理/情绪问题都有效,有能力提供此类服务的专业人员可以为EAP计划做出很大贡献。
