AbstractIt was hypothesized that some obese individuals who are obsessed with food and who eat compulsively may not respond to the stimulus control techniques widely used in treating obesity. Sixty‐eight participants were administered a measure of obsessive tendencies and randomly assigned to three treatment modalities: (a) Exposure and response prevention; (b) Stimulus control; (c) Control. Results indicated that participants who scored high on the Eating Obsessive Compulsive questionnaire (EOC) maintained weight loss significantly better with exposure and response prevention (ERP) training than did either the stimulus control or the control group. It was concluded that for the obsessive‐compulsive eater, ERP training is the treatment of cho

摘要:

AbstractThe present studies demonstrate that daily worry level is predictive of cognitive processing differences and that these differences are an effect of negative thoughts. In Study 1, worriers (those who reported 50% or greater daily worry) and non‐worriers performed a categorization task. The groups did not differ when the stimulus was a clear member or non‐member of the category. Worriers showed a significant disruption in processing as the ambiguity of the category membership increased. Study 2 demonstrated that the disruption arose as a result of increased levels of negative thoughts. Worriers and non‐worriers were assigned to two conditions, either O‐worry (“Relax and let your mind wander for 15 minutes”) or 15‐worry (“Worry as you typically would for 15 minutes”). Non‐worriers evidenced the same disruptive effects in the 15‐worry condition as worriers in that condition and worriers in Study 1. Similarly, worriers in the O‐worry condition showed a reduction in disruptive effects. The findings are taken as indicating that worry is accompanied by changes in cognitive processing and that these changes are similar for wo

摘要:

AbstractThe Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory (MCMI) is a recently introduced instrument designed to measure both symptomatology and long‐standing patterns of personality disorder in clinical popluations. Because it is designed to assess clients who are similar to those with whom the MMPI is often used (e.g., adjudicated offenders), a question may arise as to whether the two instruments measure the same aspects of clients' function. This study investigated this question by conducting a combined factor analysis of the two instruments in a criminal offender population (N= 2,245). Results indicated that although there are important areas of overlap between the two instruments, each also contains unique sources of variance. The results are interpreted as supporting the use of both instruments as part of an objective assessment battery, as has been suggested by several author

摘要:

AbstractThe Zung Depression Scale was given to 45 Israeli male alcoholics as diagnosed by DSM‐III criteria. Eighteen subjects came from an outpatient alcohol clinic, and 27 came from an inpatient detoxification center. In this cohort, 60% of subjects were classified as having clinical depression, and major depressive disorder was found in 26% of inpatients and 17% of outpatients. Pattern analysis of the Zung showed a disproportionately high percentage of all subjects responding to clinical symptoms featured in bipolar disorder, while the inpatient group reported significantly more difficulty than the outpatient group on parameters of pervasive affective disorder, early and frequent waking, constipation, irritability, and emptines

摘要:

AbstractThe present investigation was designed to ascertain differences among smokers (n= 51), ex‐smokers (n= 46), and nonsmokers (n= 138) in self‐control and needs for affiliation, order, and endurance. Ex‐smokers were found to have significantly greater self‐control, as well as considerably higher needs for order and endurance, than smokers or nonsmokers, and a markedly greater need for affiliation than smokers. Furthermore, nonsmokers exhibited significantly more self‐control than smokers. It was concluded that ex‐smokers, rather than being intermediate between smokers and nonsmokers, comprised a distinct group on the scal

摘要:

AbstractThe purpose of this article is to give the clinician not proficient in biochemistry an understanding of the biochemical research data on neurotransmitters and suicide. This literature review reports the current findings on serotonin (5‐HT), dopamine (DA), and norepinephrine (NE) as possible biochemical markers of depression and suicide. In conjunction with known environmental and behavioral indicators of suicide, neurotransmitter balance could be a factor in determining the severity of depression and the possible suicidal ideation in patients. Numerous studies have been performed on the monoamines: Serotonin, Dopamine and Norepinephrine, neurotransmitters that innervate parts of the spinal cord and all areas of the brain. Studies appear to suggest a relationship among monoamine levels, depression, and suicide. Significantly low levels of serotonin and the neurotransmitter metabolite (5‐HIAA) may be correlated with suicidal behav
