This researched work is titled The Lived Experience of Being Raised by Single Alcohol-Dependent Father. The study illuminates the experiences of the author and the coresearchers. It is hoped that professionals will have a greater understanding of children raised by single alcohol-dependent fathers. Even any alcohol-dependent individual reading this book will find the experience under discussion similar to his or her own. Thus, the book provides experience-based personal accounts of the researchers. The study while answering the research questions will indirectly assist the readers in developing both knowledge and awareness about alcohol-dependent fathers behaviors, attitudes, values, and biases. Consistent with transformation and self-understanding is the saying that states, To know others, one must first know the self. This research piece assisted the researcher and coresearchers to delve into self-dialogue, self-inquiry, and self-discovery, which will also help every reader toward self-evaluation and reassessment of values in life. Thus, the findings in the book will empower the readers toward self-awareness, a wider horizon, and the privilege to explore the significant human experience of being raised by a single alcohol-dependent father. The book is significant to other alcohol-dependent adults raised under the same conditions, as they can potentially learn from the lived experiences of the researcher and coresearchers. Therefore, this study considers the lived experience of single fathers in the context of alcohol dependence.

When The Natural History of Alcoholism was first published in 1983, it was acclaimed in the press as the single most important contribution to the literature on alcoholism since the first edition of Alcoholic Anonymous’s Big Book. George Vaillant took on the crucial questions of whether alcoholism is a symptom or a disease, whether it is progressive, whether alcoholics differ from others before the onset of their alcoholism, and whether alcoholics can safely drink. Based on an evaluation of more than 600 individuals followed for over forty years, Vaillant’s monumental study offered new and authoritative answers to all of these questions. In this updated version of his classic book, Vaillant returns to the same subjects with the perspective gained from fifteen years of further follow-up. Alcoholics who had been studied to age 50 in the earlier book have now reached age 65 and beyond, and Vaillant reassesses what we know about alcoholism in light of both their experiences and the many new studies of the disease by other researchers. The result is a sharper focus on the nature and course of this devastating disorder as well as a sounder foundation for the assessment of various treatments.

Motivation is key to substance use behavior change. Counselors can support clients' movement toward positive changes in their substance use by identifying and enhancing motivation that already exists. Motivational approaches are based on the principles of person-centered counseling. Counselors' use of empathy, not authority and power, is key to enhancing clients' motivation to change. Clients are experts in their own recovery from SUDs. Counselors should engage them in collaborative partnerships. Ambivalence about change is normal. Resistance to change is an expression of ambivalence about change, not a client trait or characteristic. Confrontational approaches increase client resistance and discord in the counseling relationship. Motivational approaches explore ambivalence in a nonjudgmental and compassionate way.

This Treatment Improvement Protocol (TIP)is a companion to TIP 51, Substance Abuse Treatment: Addressing the Specific Needs of Women. These two volumes look at how gender-specific treatment strategies can improve outcomes for men and women, respectively.The physical, psychological, social, and spiritual effects of substance use and abuse on men can be quite different from the effects on women, and those differences have implications for treatment in behavioral health settings. Men are also affected by social and cultural forces in different ways than women, and physical differences between the genders influence substance use and recovery as well.This TIP, Addressing the Specific Behavioral Health Needs of Men, addresses these distinctions. It provides practical information based on available evidence and clinical experience that can help counselors more effectively treatment with substance use disorders
