AbstractThe present study examined psychological coping styles and mental health treatment histories in veterans with PTSD. This study also served as a replication and extension of an earlier investigation that assessed the prevalence of PTSD in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam combat veterans who were seeking medical treatment. Thirty‐six combat veteran medical patients were compared to 38 war‐era controls. Nearly a third of the combat veterans met psychometric criteria for PTSD; none of the controls met these criteria. Both PTSD‐positive subjects and mental health treatment seekers showed a significantly greater use of emotion‐focused coping. Results also showed that Vietnam combatants were more likely to have received individual mental health treatment. These findings and their treatment implications are di

摘要:

AbstractScores of 40 hospitalized CHD patients on 11 Type A‐related and 7 physical CHD risk factors were compared to those of 40 hospitalized non‐CHD patients. Family history for CHD was the only physical risk factor for which a significant difference was found. CHD patients scored significantly higher on all seven interview‐measured Type A and Type A subcomponent variables. Only two of the four Jenkins Activity Survey‐measured Type A variables produced significant differences, with one higher for non‐CHD subjects. It was concluded that some CHD risk scores also may be associated with other diseases, to the experience of being seriously ill, and/or to the experience of hospit

摘要:

AbstractSixteen diagnostic classification systems were compared to determine the degree of agreement on the diagnosis of schizophrenia. Data were collected by a structured interview method with 284 patients, 52 first admissions, and 196 readmissions. The kappa coefficient was used to calculate interrater reliability and concordance of the systems. Adequate reliability was found for 12 of the systems. However, concordance was generally low; 11 of 120 combinations reached kappa of.40 or higher for the total sample, 16 of 120 for first admissions, and only 6 of 120 for readmissions. These results indicate the restriction of generalization and raise questions as to the empirical validity of the construct of schizophrenia.

摘要:

AbstractThis study was an investigation of personality factors associated with bulimic behaviors and attitudes in males. Various measures that have been noted as predictors of female bulimia were tested on 96 college students. Chronic dietary restraint and interoceptive awareness were the strongest predictors of more maladaptive eating patterns. The results suggest that maladaptive eating patterns in males and females may share a common set of features.

摘要:

AbstractThis study is an attempt to delineate symptom clusters that may be considered most distinctive of patients diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD). Medical records were examined to assess the extent to which each of the eight DSM‐III‐R BPD criteria was present in 89 psychiatric inpatients diagnosed with BPD. Structural analysis revealed three symptom clusters that can explain symptomatology for a majority of the sample. BPD patients can be identified initially by a core factor and separated subsequently into several BPD subtypes based on the patients' remaining symptomatology. A hierarchical diagnostic scheme for delineating BPD subtypes is proposed, and the implications of these findings for a theoretical separation of several BPD subtypes are discus

AbstractThis study provides validity information about the Missouri Children's Behavior Checklist (MCBC) classifications system with nonreferred children. MCBC behavior patterns of 41 children were related to DSM‐III symptomatology ascertained through a structured clinical interview, the Child Assessment Schedule, conducted with the mother. The findings indicated that considering the Undifferentiated Disturbance pattern as an indicator of poor adjustment may be unwarranted with nonreferred childre

摘要:

AbstractWe ran meta‐analyses that compared the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory scale scores produced in 770 booklet and 762 computer administrations described by nine studies. While most of the differences were small, the computer‐based scores significantly underestimated their booklet counterparts on 8 of the 13 scales. The average underestimate was about three quarters of a T‐score point and accounted for around 4% of the reliable variance. These findings suggest that separate norms and profile sheets for computer‐administered MMPIs might be

摘要:

AbstractBehavioral analytic methods were used to create a college student version of the Means Ends Problem Solving Procedure (MEPS). This instrument then was administered with measures of perceived problem‐solving ability to depressed and nondepressed students to determine whether differences exist in both problem‐solving ability and problem‐solving appraisal. Analyses revealed that depressed subjects had more negative expectations and lower appraisals of their problem‐solving ability. However, the groups did not differ in terms of the actual quality of their behavioral solutions to interpersonal, intrapersonal, and emotional problem situations. The results are interpreted as support for the role of cognitive factors in depression and problem‐solving across a range of problem‐solving

摘要:

AbstractHom and Reitan (1982) reported findings with respect to sensorimotor deficits in groups with lateralized cerebral lesions, but evaluated the results only within a framework that related cerebral dominance to deficits that resulted from lateralized lesions. Some of the variables they studied, however, depend upon evidence of retention of functions by one hemisphere under conditions of distracting input. While the right cerebral hemisphere appears to be dominant for tactile‐perceptual abilities in terms of resulting deficits, the present study suggests that the left cerebral hemisphere is dominant for certain non‐language functions that reflect maintenance of sensory‐perceptual abilities under conditions of distracting st

摘要:

AbstractSelf‐injurious movements, common in persons diagnosed with Tourette syndrome, or mental retardation, are typically difficult to eliminate. The author considers the possibility that certain self‐injurious movements are involuntary phenomena. An anatomical analysis of high‐frequency movements in a patient with severe head slapping is presented by tracing the muscles and nerves involved. The median nerve innervates muscles that bring the hand/arm to the head and also muscles that control this patient's other frequent movements, viz., pill‐rolling, thumb‐gouging, wrist‐flapping, and pinching the neck or cheek. Other patients underwent similar investigation: one who head bangs, one who hits out repetitively, and one with non‐injurious stereotypic movements. An anatomical explanation suggests that certain self‐injurious, aggressive, and stereotypic movements are involuntary muscle contractions that reflect abnormal innervation along
