The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of a behavioral intervention, nonviolent communication (NVC), on the development of empathic coping and communication skills in a sample of male parolees enrolled in substance abuse treatment (SAT; N = 30). At the end of the 8-week intervention, results revealed a significant increase (p = .01) in participants' empathy levels. Findings also revealed the acceptability and utility of NVC training to men on parole. Results suggest that NVC training may (a) be a useful addition to substance abuse treatment programs for parolees, (b) be effective in addressing problematic coping and communication styles resulting from incarceration and criminal behavior, and (c) assist paroled individuals in building and sustaining positive social support networks.
本研究的目的是确定一种行为干预措施——非暴力沟通（NVC），对参与药物滥用治疗（SAT；N = 30）的男性假释人员样本中移情应对和沟通技巧发展的影响。在为期8周的干预结束时，结果显示参与者的移情水平显著提高（p = 0.01）。研究结果还揭示了NVC培训对假释男性的可接受性和实用性。结果表明，NVC培训可能（a）是假释人员药物滥用治疗项目的有益补充，（b）有效地解决因监禁和犯罪行为导致的有问题的应对和沟通方式，以及（c）帮助假释人员建立和维持积极的社会支持网络。
