Zusammenfassung

Eine 2020 veröffentlichte, aktualisierte Cochrane-Analyse zu Anonymen Alkoholikern und 12-Schritte Programmen zur Behandlung alkoholbezogener Störungen schreibt diesen Interventionsformen eine bessere Evidenz gegenüber etablierten psychotherapeutischen Verfahren zu. Der Beitrag stellt zentrale Befunde des Reviews vor und überprüft deren interne und externe Validität. Diese sind eingeschränkt durch die verwendeten Definitionen der Outcomeparameter, der Interventions- und Kontrollbedingungen, die Selektivität der berichteten Ergebnisse und die eingeschränkte Generalisierbarkeit der Stichproben.

Abstract

A 2020 published Cochrane-Review on “Alcoholics Anonymous” and other 12-step programs for alcohol use disorders suggests that these interventions are more effective than established psychotherapeutic interventions. This article presents main findings of the review and discusses their internal and external validity. Validity is restricted due to the outcome measures used, the definition of intervention and control conditions, a selective reporting of results and limited generalizability of samples.
