Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reviews of psychological interventions for problem drinking consistently show that brief interventions and techniques oriented toward changing motivation (such as motivational interviewing) are the most effective. This has been supported by numerous studies and meta-analyses. The other options presented are not supported by the evidence. Psychotherapeutic programs can be effective, and group therapy is not consistently shown to be more effective than individual therapy. Finally, while it is true that some individuals may never be able to return to controlled drinking, this is not the case for everyone who has struggled with alcohol abuse. So, overall, A is the best answer.
