By identifying the perception that women addicts’ have of their families of origin, it was hoped that this study would identify areas that could be focused on to enhance treatment outcomes.</p> <p>This exploratory study was guided by Bowen’s Family Systems Model and attempted to examine its constructs using the Personal Authority in Family Systems Questionnaire of within group differences of substance abusing mothers in a treatment program. Data used in this investigation was collected at a Northeast Ohio substance abuse treatment facility with a sample of 80 substance abusing mothers.</p> <p>Results related to General Hypothesis 2 found that the overall subscales approached significance in predicting drug of choice for marijuana users only. The hypothesis was tested using a multiple linear regression. This hypothesis was found to be significant (p= 0.015) predicting marijuana use. The overall subscales of the PAFSQ all predicted marijuana use with spousal intimacy (p=0.02) and personal authority ( p=0.04) adding unique significance above and beyond the influence of ethnicity, custody, alcohol, opiates and cocaine use.</p> 2009-09-03 English text University of Akron / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=akron1248780311 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=akron1248780311 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
