Abstract:

The present study aimed to map out how members of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA) construct themselves, in talk, as being in recovery. This study adopted a social constructionist epistemology and a Foucauldian discourse analytic research methodology. A total of nineteen adults in self-reported AA and/or NA recovery were interviewed. Four individual interviews and three discussion groups were held. Analysis found that, on the whole, participants drew on AA/NA discourse in ways that were contradictory, subversive, pragmatic, dilemmatic and aligned with agency. Analysis gen

Abstract:

This is an exploratory, qualitative study of homeless, recovering alcoholics and the problems they encounter maintaining sobriety. Using semi-structured interviews, I analyze the experiences of ten men in their forties, who are in a recovery program designed for homeless men. I ask them how they stay sober without a place to live. Three kinds of problems are inferred from their narrative histories. First, the men have difficulty identifying as alcoholics. They have trouble fully integrating into the AA program. Second, the men struggle to form relationships with others, especially with a spons

Abstract:

This thesis examines the possibilities of living an authentic life for an alcoholic, both in and out of Alcoholics Anonymous. Authenticity is explored using the existential models put forth by Jean-Paul Sartre and Soren Kierkegaard. Alcoholics Anonymous figures prominently in this analysis. It is suggested that A.A. acts inauthentically in its claims that it is not a religious organization. A.A. creates special problems for female alcoholics because of the sexist and masculinist nature of its primary literature. While A.A. claims that its message is the only way by which an alcoholic can recov

This thesis studies the relationship between subjective experience and social environment during recovery from alcoholism in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). As a result of participation in AA meetings, many alcoholics undergo healing transformations involving a sense of acceptance of themselves, others and the world. In early sobriety these experiences often remove an alcoholic’s desire to drink. Outside AA, however, alcoholics frequently experience subjective unravelling – a sense of conflict with themselves, others and the world.

Abstract:

Introduction Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is an international mutual aid/peer-to-peer organisation designed to support anyone who wants to stop drinking alcohol. It is well-established that AA membership typically involves the adoption of a distinct “alcoholic” identity, with new members generally learning that they have no control over alcohol and need to perform specific AA-recommended actions to remain abstinent. Studies have demonstrated that the adoption of AA’s prototypical “alcoholic” identity can be an effective means of maintaining abstinence and improving overall wellbeing. However, cr

Abstract:

The mutual aid of Alcoholics Anonymous helps more people with alcohol-related problems than all forms of clinical treatment combined. Yet, efforts to understand AA’s action have been conducted, almost exclusively, from a clinical perspective. Thus far, the literature representing Alcoholics Anonymous from the perspective of its members is very limited. This study uses qualitative content analysis of the AA literature and a grounded theory approach to AA’s fellowship to provide an insider’s perspective of change processes associated with AA involvement.

Alcohol use disorders are a major health problem in the United States; approximately 7.4% of the population meets the criteria for alcohol abuse or dependence. However, Reed, Levin, and Evans (2012) reported a lack in research regarding alcoholism's risk factors and how these influence Alcoholics Anonymous involvement. Though there is evidence for several risk factors, researchers have found mixed results regarding gender and impulsivity.

However, research has shown that a more internally-oriented locus of control is associated with longer sobriety.

AA is a global organisation of 2.2 million members worldwide (AAWS, 2001), with a reported 3,600 weekly meetings in the United Kingdom (AAWS, 2011). AA has made many claims in their literature about the program’s effectiveness (AAWS, 2001: 84).

The aim of this study is to examine how long term recovery from addiction within the Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) paradigm impacts upon the everyday lives of the participants; the choices they make, the difficulties they encounter and their felt sense of personal freedom.

For this reason it has traditionally been assumed that psychotherapy and AA are fundamentally antithetic, one promoting the se

RESUMO: Estudos epidemiológicos têm demonstrado o aumento de consumo alcoólico e da dependência alcoólica entre mulheres, algo que era até então considerado majoritariamente um problema da população masculina.

Este estudo, de caráter qualitativo, baseado na literatura sócioantropológica sobre o processo saúdeadoecimento e na perspectiva de

The following research addresses the efficacy of one such alternative, Rational Recovery (RR).

Abstract:

Shared leadership is one of the newest leadership frameworks to date, and it’s currently taking the organizational world by storm.

Some organizations have adopted shared leadership as their primary leadership structure thr
