Abstract

Persons with alcohol or other drug (AOD) problems can be found across the range of social services but often deny their need for help. The Johnson Intervention is a therapeutic technique that can be used to motivate persons with AOD problems to accept help and it should be taught in the practice curriculum so that students will be able to make effective referrals to appropriate assessment and treatment. Students can learn about Intervention through the use of relevant readings and videotapes and a guided class discussion that focuses on the technique, theoretical considerations, ethical concerns, and broader implications for social work practice.
