Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
L'étude porte sur 50 femmes toxicomanes admises au centre catholique "Meta House". De nombreux tests d'évaluation psychologique des émotions, des attitudes, de la personnalité, des perceptions, ont été réalisés à différents moments du traitement. On note des changements importants à tous les niveaux chez les femmes qui adhèrent au contenu religieux de l'institution et ont poursuivi leur traitement, d'où l'importance de sélectionner les sujets pour chaque type de centre.
ENGLISH :
Fifty consecutive entrants to a year-long Christian residential rehabilitation programme for female drug misusers received a comprehensive psychological assessment on intake, 3 and 6 months later, and at completion of the programme. Significant changes were seen in emotional states, self-esteem, personality and attitudes to Christianity. Most of the changes occurred during the first 3 months, but changes in personality continued throughout the period of residence. The 11 women who completed the programme differed significantly from the others on their characteristics at intake ; the 26 who dropped out during the first 3 months differed significantly from those who dropped out after that time. In both cases, the differences were at a clinically significant level. The importance of matching drug users to rehabilitation centres is discussed. (Author's abstract)
