The sample were 40 family of patients with alcohol dependence and his spouse who had been&nbsp;following up after treatment at the Psychiatry and Neurology outpatient department of Phramongkutklao ( PMK&nbsp;) Hospital. The patients were recruited from those who completed the PMK rehabilitation model within a year.&nbsp;The samples were matched-pair to have similar characteristics by patient’ alcohol consumption score&nbsp;and age, and then randomly assigned to either experimental or control group, 20 families in each group.&nbsp;The experimental group received the brief couple relationship therapy program developed from Fals-Stewart&nbsp;et al.(2005), whereas the control group received regular care. The research instruments are: 1) the brief&nbsp;couple relationship therapy program, 2) the demographic questionnaire, 3) the AUDIT scale ,4) the Alcohol<br>Timeline Follow back, and 5) the Dyadic Adjustment Scale. All instruments were verified for content validity.&nbsp;The reliability of the 4th instrument is reported with Pearson product moment correlation as of .97. Descriptive&nbsp;statistics and t-test were used in Data analysis.&nbsp;The conclusions of this research are as follows:&nbsp;1) after the experiment, the alcohol consumption behavior of patients with alcohol dependence who&nbsp;received brief couple relationship therapy program was significantly different than that before at p.05, by which&nbsp;the total number of drinks and the percentage of heavy drinking days were lower whereas the percentages of&nbsp;days abstinent were higher than that before;&nbsp;2) after the experiment, the alcohol consumption behavior of patients with alcohol dependence&nbsp;who received brief couple relationship therapy program was significantly different from those who received&nbsp;regular care at p.05, by which the total number of drinks and the percentage of heavy drinking days among&nbsp;the experimental group were lower whereas the percentages of days abstinent were higher than those in the<br>control group.</p> ER -
