摘要:
The basic strategies and methods for assessing and treating vaginismus were proposed by the early 20th century and have not essentially changed. Etiological theories have changed over time but are not supported by controlled empirical studies. This critical review of the literature disputes the widely held belief that vaginismus is an easily diagnosed and easily treated sexual dysfunction. We propose a reconceptualization of vaginismus as either an aversion/phobia of vaginal penetration or a genital pain disorder.

摘要:
This study investigated the role of oral contraception use versus nonuse as a moderator variable differentially influencing cognitive-emotional processes. Seventy-six healthy women (29 users and 47 nonusers; 18 to 48 years old), completed the State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory, the Clinical Analysis Questionnaire, the Rotter Scale of locus of control, the Daily Hassles Scale, and a Repertory Grid. A subsample (N= 33) also volunteered for a blood draw. Hormonal levels of progesterone and estrogen mostly were unrelated to cognitive and emotional measures, and contraindicated the "chemical suppression" proposition. Alternatively, when cognitive-emotional functioning was examined separately for users and nonusers, cognitive factors including the appraisal of stress, loci of control, and self-integration were implicated with specific patterns of negative affect and much more so for users than for nonusers. For the most part, oral contraceptive use versus nonuse seemed to influence the saliency rather than the nature of cognitive-emotional patterns. Discussion focused on oral contraceptive use as a moderator variable and the need for longitudinal research to clarify the evolving, biopsychosocial influence of hormonal regulatory treatment.

摘要:
Recent findings have linked impairments in social performance among individuals with schizophrenia to deficits in cognition. However, one component of cognition, thought disorder (TD), has received little attention in its association with social functioning. The current investigation examined the cross-sectional and predictive relationships between bizarre-idiosyncratic thought and psychosocial functioning throughout the early course of schizophrenia and compared these relationships to those observed among individuals with affective disorders (i.e.,bipolar disorder, manic type, and major depression without psychotic features). Participants were assessed on TD, work, and social functioning using standardized procedures across three follow-ups over an 8-year period. The cross-sectional relationships between TD and impairment in work performance were generally significant. TD also significantly predicted subsequent work functioning years later. Less support was found for the relationship between TD and social functioning. Finally, the relationship between TD and work performance appeared to be more consistent over time for the subjects with schizophrenia compared to those with affective disorders. The results suggest that techniques which minimize TD may have implications for occupational functioning among persons with chronic psychiatric disorders.

摘要:
A measure that captures the frequency and intensity of experienced dysfunctional behaviors as well as the use of mental health services was developed and tested as part of a treatment controlled trial of patients with borderline personality disorder. The Objective Behavioral Index (OBI) was completed by 136 subjects with the diagnosis of borderline personality disorder before random assignment to treatment and by 35 subjects at each follow-up point. With one exception, the OBI subindexes (Dysfunctional Behaviors and Service Utilization) were not intercorrelated nor were they associated with any of the other patient status measures. Both of the OBI subindexes were sensitive to change after a course of psychotherapy. The OBI measurement system is easy to use and provides important information about behavioral dysfunction and service utilization. Also, contrary to expectations, service utilization is not associated with patient symptomatic and behavioral status.

摘要:
The aims of this study were to examine whether certain axis I disorders characterized by impulsive aggression were associated with self-mutilative behavior and to evaluate the clinical correlates of self-mutilation in a sample of general psychiatric outpatients. Two hundred fifty-six outpatients were administered diagnostic interviews for axis I and axis II disorders. In addition, questionnaires that measured self-mutilative acts within the last 3 months, dissociation, and childhood abuse were completed. This study found that axis I disorders of substance abuse, posttraumatic stress disorder, and intermittent explosive disorder were significantly related to self-mutilative behavior, independent of borderline personality disorder and antisocial personality disorder. Also, a higher level of dissociation was related to self-mutilation, controlling for borderline personality disorder and childhood abuse. Outpatients with certain axis I disorders and those who dissociate may represent a sizable group of patients who are at risk for self-mutilative behavior.

摘要:
Postconcussive symptoms after mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) may be exacerbated by anxiety associated with posttraumatic stress. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between postconcussive symptoms and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in an MTBI population. Survivors of motor vehicle accidents who either sustained an MTBI (N= 46) or no TBI (N= 59) were assessed 6 months posttrauma for PTSD and postconcussive symptoms. Postconcussive symptoms were more evident in MTBI patients with PTSD than those without PTSD, and in MTBI patients than non-TBI patients. Further, postconcussive symptoms were significantly correlated with PTSD symptoms. These findings indicate that postconcussive symptoms may be mediated by an interaction of neurological and psychological factors after MTBI.
