“…There are also a few studies examining differences in pay (Olmstead, Johnson, Roman, & Sindelar, 2007), supervision preferences (Culbreth, 1999) and attitudes about ethical issues (e.g. Hecksher, 2007; Hollander, Bauer, Herlihy, & McCollum, 2006) as a function of recovery status. Interestingly, when recovery status has been studied in relation to work attitudes, it has been used as a control variable rather than a key predictor (Ducharme, Knudsen, & Roman, 2008).…”

The complex makeup of the substance abuse treatment workforce poses unique challenges to the field. One interesting dynamic is the high rate of counselors who are personally recovering from addictions. Based on social identity theory, it was expected that counselors working in the field of substance abuse treatment who are in recovery themselves will identify more with their profession and report higher professional and organizational commitment. Data from a study of substance abuse counselors from across the United States supports the proposed relationship between personal recovery status and professional commitment but not organizational commitment.

“…Despite what is here perceived as an advantage, other studies have expressed serious misgivings about ethical issues (Doyle, 1997;Hollander et al, 2006) and countertransference reactions emanating from a personal history of substance use (Vannicelli, 2001).…”

“…The practice of employing therapists who are themselves in recovery is also a feature of the UK scene. For example Haylett (), writing about the Promis Recovery Centre, states:Despite what is here perceived as an advantage, other studies have expressed serious misgivings about ethical issues (Doyle, ; Hollander et al, ) and countertransference reactions emanating from a personal history of substance use (Vannicelli, ).…”

This pilot study aims to increase our understanding of therapists’ subjective attitudes, beliefs, and experiences of working with clients with problems of addiction. The study yielded useful clarifications, arising from the finding that opinions about the nature of addiction support different approaches to therapy. In addition, it seems that diverse or conflicting attitudes and beliefs are likely to impact on the ability of therapists to work together effectively. Another objective was to test the feasibility of using Q methodology in this study and more broadly in qualitative research in psychotherapy. Participants were 13 therapists from a variety of backgrounds and working in a range of agencies. Using Q methodology, four distinctive factors were identified, indicating divergent understandings of addiction. Each factor is shown to be a multifaceted construct which does not correspond to any single theory or therapeutic orientation. It is suggested that the results have significant implications for therapists’ training and supervision. In addition, this study demonstrates the capacity of Q methodology to identify commonalities and diversity in viewpoints which do not conform to a priori conceptualisations. As a pilot study, this paper invites further discussion and research.
