title: Adapting a cognitive behavioral program in treating alcohol dependence in South Korea.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  This paper aims to evaluate the effects of the traditional Korean moral behavioral-cognitive approach treatment for promoting insight in patients with alcohol dependence.
  
  
  METHODS
  Data were collected from 22 participants and 22 nonparticipants. The program consisted of daily practices of self-control and reflection, and weekly feedback sessions. The data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon tests, among others.
  
  
  RESULTS
  There was statistically significant promotion of insight, especially in control/dependence insight, after treatment.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The therapeutic intervention, considering the sociocultural factors, could be more effective in promoting insight in clients with alcohol dependence.
