Two residential therapeutic communities for female addicts--one coeducational and the other all female--encountered serious problems shortly after their formation. The authors found that the male and female staff of the coeducational program had quite different perceptions of the purposes and characteristics of the women's part of the program. In both programs the female staff held such strongly ambivalent feeling toward their roles as women and authority figures that they had difficulty functioning effectively. The authors suggest the need for research that will identify the female addict's special needs, and a restructuring of programs to meet those needs. Further, training programs for female staff must enable them to distinguish between their own ideals and their clients' needs.
两个针对女性成瘾者的住院治疗社区——一个是男女混合的，另一个是全女性的——在成立后不久就遇到了严重问题。作者发现，男女混合项目中的男性和女性工作人员对项目中女性部分的目的和特点有着截然不同的看法。在这两个项目中，女性工作人员对自己作为女性和权威人物的角色持有如此强烈的矛盾情绪，以至于她们难以有效地履行职责。作者建议开展研究以确定女性成瘾者的特殊需求，并对项目进行重组以满足这些需求。此外，针对女性工作人员的培训项目必须使她们能够区分自己的理想和客户的需求。
