Partner Enabling of Substance Use Disorders: Critical Review and Future Directions.

Rotunda, Rob J.; Doman, Kathy

American Journal of Family Therapy, v29 n4 p257-70 Jul-Sep 2001

Substance use disorders affect not only the identified client but significant others as well. This article contrasts the enabling and codependency constructs, reviews empirical studies of enabling, and offers a conceptualization of partner responses to addiction that could enhance future research efforts and clinical applications in this area.
