Differences between alcoholic couples accepting and rejecting an offer of outpatient marital therapy.

Following an extensive initial evaluation, 35 couples with alcoholic husbands decided to participate in couples therapy (acceptors) and 28 couples did not (rejectors). A significant discriminant function indicated that acceptors were characterized by husbands with more education, better marital adjustment, full-time employment, and larger number of alcohol-related arrests. Acceptors also had sought more outpatient help in the past year. Rejectors were characterized by wives with better marital adjustment, greater living distance from clinic, and husbands with more alcohol-related hospitalizations. Rejector husbands also tended to be older. Practical implications for recruiting alcoholics and spouses into marital therapy are discussed.
