Abstract
Although research into alcohol expectancies is reasonably well established, there is scant empirical evidence to directly relate such expectancies to the treatment of problem drinking. Consistent evidence from alcohol expectancy studies indicates that problem drinkers hold clusters of strongly positive beliefs regarding alcohol, in particular perceiving their drinking as a way of coping with specific skills deficits. However the precise relationship between such beliefs and treatment has not yet been established. The research developments needed to more fully elucidate the role that alcohol expectancies play in the treatment of problem drinking are discussed.
Quoique la recherche portant sur les attentes d'alcooliques est assez bien établie, il ya peu de preuves empiriques qui relient ces attentes au traitement de l'alcoolisme. L'évidence provenant des études sur les attentes des alcooliques indique que les alcooliques adoptent des constellations de croyances fortement positives concernant l'alcool; en particulier, ils perçoivent la boisson comme une méthode de surmonter des déficits de fonctions spécifiques. Cependant, la relation précise entre ces croyances et le traitement n'est pas encore complètement établie. Le développement nécessaire de recherches pour mieux éclaircir le rôle que jouent les attentes dans le traitement de l'alcoolisme est considéré.
