Abstract:
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to find out the impact of chosen psychological factors to backslide among recovering alcoholics of Australian rehabilitation centers. Methodology: The study adopted a desktop methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low-cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive's time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library. Results: The results revealed that there exist conceptual and contextual gaps relating to the study on psychological factors to backslide among recovering alcoholics of Australian rehabilitation centers. Preliminary empirical review reveals that the chosen psychological factor that mostly contributed to backslide was dwelling on resentment that causes anger due to unresolved conflict. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Psychoanalytic theory and social learning theory may be used to categorize the key work design factors which may relate to stress-related health issues. The results of this research will form the basis for further research to aid psychologists and counsellors to understand their critical role in the alcohol treatment and rehabilitation and make them more effective in the execution of their duties.
