This study is concerned with 35 couples of which one partner is an alcoholic. The afflicted person and corresponding partner have sought assistance either with a psychotherapist or with Alcoholics Anonymous or Al-Anon respectively. The research instrument used is Oxford's Coping-with-Drinking-Questionnaire alongside a partially standardized interview. Using different versions of this questionnaire a record is built up of what coping strategies a partner has used in the past and what types are being used at the time of the interview. The alcoholic also fills out a questionnaire which records how far he or she has perceived the coping strategies used by his or her partner. The study leads to the following results: 1) Partners of alcoholics significantly reduce the coping strategies they utilize, over time. 2) This is particularly true for Al-Anon members. 3) The alcoholics do not fully realize the extent to which their partners are using coping strategies, before they enter a specific treatment. 4) In addition, there are significant differences between A.A.members and those who have sought assistance from other institutions or persons (the latter group remembers less the measures taken by their respective partners.
本研究涉及35对夫妻，其中一方为酗酒者。患病方及其相应配偶分别向心理治疗师或戒酒互助会或嗜酒者互诫协会寻求过帮助。所使用的研究工具是牛津饮酒应对问卷以及部分标准化访谈。通过使用该问卷的不同版本，记录伴侣过去使用过哪些应对策略以及在访谈时正在使用哪些类型的应对策略。酗酒者也要填写一份问卷，记录其对伴侣所使用应对策略的认知程度。该研究得出以下结果：1）随着时间的推移，酗酒者的配偶显著减少了他们所采用的应对策略。2）对于嗜酒者互诫协会成员来说尤其如此。3）酗酒者在进入特定治疗之前，并未充分意识到其伴侣使用应对策略的程度。4）此外，戒酒互助会成员与那些向其他机构或人员寻求帮助的人之间存在显著差异（后一组对其各自伴侣采取的措施记得较少）。
