Abstract Details

2008, Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Ohio University, Psychology (Arts and Sciences).
This study assessed the effects of a psychoeducational intervention on clients' expectations and fears about psychotherapy, working alliance and therapeutic outcomes. Block randomization was used to determine intervention assignment: a multimedia program vs. a treatment-as-usual (TAU) group from two data collection sites. Pre and post intervention scores from the EAC-B, TAPS and OQ were assessed for changes in expectations, fears and outcome, pre-intervention vs. discharge scores from the EAC-B and TAPS were assessed for changes in expectations and fears over treatment, and initial vs. discharge scores from the WAI-SR were compared for changes in alliance ratings.Results showed that although clients demonstrated significant change over time, this change was not related to the intervention used in this study. Some pre-treatment differences were noted with this sample. Clinical implications of these differences and using educational interventions with a substance abuse treatment population are discussed.
