The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of psychoeducational group techniques in reducing an individuals' level of alcohol intake. It was hypothesized that when one is more educated about alcoholism, and how the addictive behavior began, their level of alcohol intake will decrease. To test this hypothesis, the researcher monitored changes in the alcohol involvement of a middle-aged African American woman engaged in psychoeducational group treatment. The researcher monitored these changes by administering the subject a standardized questionnaire developed by Hudson, before intervention, during intervention, and after completion o f intervention. The results of the study show that by involvement in psycho-educational groups and cognitive therapy, the subject was able to reduce her overall level of alcohol intake.
