Abstract

Model treatment programs for DUI recidivists have been developed in the Federal Republic of Germany to reduce the high rate of recidivism of DUI offenders. The characteristics of the intervention measures evaluated differ with respect to psychological theory establishing the background of the programs: the IFT-model is based on a behavioristic approach, the IRAK-model is based on individual-psychological theory and the LEER-model is embedded in a group-dynamic frame. Although the effectiveness of the three model treatment programs has been proved by the present study, the large number of specific preconditions accompanying this type of research has to be taken into account as it caused numerous restrictions on experimental and computing methods as well as on the details of results.
