Group therapy can be highly influential in helping addicts (individuals presenting with problematic addictive behaviors) achieve and maintain cessation. The efficacy of such groups can be understood by the effects they have on members' social identity and also through associated group processes. The current paper introduces the Social Identity Model of Cessation Maintenance (SIMCM).
The SIMCM outlines how a number of processes (including self/collective efficacy and esteem, normative structure and social support and control) may affect cessation maintenance. It also provides a framework to make predictions about how automatic and/or implicit processes influence the activation of addiction relevant identities through cognitive accessibility and complexity in particular.
A review of initial empirical evidence supporting some of the key specified relationships is provided, along with potential applications in therapy settings.
Insights into how SIMCM could be generalized beyond treatment contexts and avenues for future research are outlined.
团体治疗在帮助成瘾者（表现出成瘾问题行为的个体）实现并维持戒断方面可能具有高度影响力。此类团体的疗效可通过它们对成员社会身份的影响以及相关团体过程来理解。本文介绍了戒断维持的社会身份模型（SIMCM）。
SIMCM概述了一些过程（包括自我/集体效能感和自尊、规范结构以及社会支持与控制）可能如何影响戒断维持。它还提供了一个框架，用于预测自动和/或内隐过程如何通过认知可及性和复杂性，特别是影响与成瘾相关身份的激活。
提供了对支持一些关键特定关系的初步实证证据的综述，以及在治疗环境中的潜在应用。
概述了关于SIMCM如何超越治疗背景进行推广的见解以及未来研究的方向。
