Schema Model of the Self-Concept to Examine the Role of the Self-Concept in Alcohol Dependence and Recovery

College of Nursing, University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, IL, ccorte{at}uic.edu

In this article, we review the existing research on the self-concept in alcohol dependence and recovery and describe a theoretical model of the self-concept, called the schema model, that can be used to interpret the findings from the existing literature and serve as a framework for further research studies. Next, we provide some empirical evidence from a recent study based on the schema model that demonstrates that specific content and structural properties of the self-concept are associated with alcohol dependence and recovery. We then discuss implications for nursing research and practice. J Am Psychiatr Nurses Assoc, 2007; 13(1), 31-41.
