Countering Threats to Correctional Institution Security
This report presents challenges and needs associated with threats to correctional institution safety and security, including violence, contraband, and compromised staff members. In light of the ongoing challenges the corrections sector faces in countering these threats, RAND researchers convened an expert workshop to better understand the challenges and identify the high-priority needs associated with threats to institutional security

Development of Alternate Methods for Scoring the Rorschach Interaction Scale
The Rorschach Interaction Scale (RIS) was recently developed to permit scoring the content of certain Rorschach responses in terms of the emotional tone (both positive and negative) associated with responses involving the interaction between two or more human, human-like, or animal figures. Scores on the original scale have been found to be related to later health or disease in a long-range, prospective investigation of medical students. In an ef…

Absence of Significant A-B Scale Differences Among Medical Specialties
Using a new and improved A-B measure of psychotherapist effectiveness (SSZ-46) derived from the Strong Vocational Interest Blank, this study sought to determine whether psychiatrists as a group could be differentiated from other medical specialists. SVIB data were obtained while the 282 subjects (all males) were students at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine; present medical specialty was ascertained at subsequent follow-up. Although…

Intercorrelations Between Affect, Urinary 17-Hydroxycorticosteroid Levels, and Epileptic Convulsions
In a longitudinal study of an epileptic, serial measurements were made of affect and urinary 17-hydroxycorticosteroid (17-OHCS) levels. During an 8-month period of hospitalization, a rising trend in 17-OHCS level was noted on the day prior to seizure activity and a significantly positive rise on the day of seizure activity. These observations were seen as supporting evidence for the hypothesis that elevated 17-OHCS levels may be associated with a…
Minor Tranquilizers for Minor Problems
In a recent study of the comparative effectiveness of chlordiazepoxide ( L i b r i ~ m ( ~ 1 Hoffman-La Roche, Inc.), prazepam (a chlordiazepoxide analogue), and placebo in the short-term treatment of convalescing alcoholics, over 50 criterion measures of pauent change were employed. Some of these were exploratory and their results were not included in the main report.' For one of these, however, a brief note may be in order. The above named medi…
Chlordiazepoxide (Librium) and Acquiescent Response Set
On the basis of clinical reports that chlordiazepoxide-treated Ss tend to become more tractable and cooperative, it was hypothesized that convalescing alcoholics treated with the drug would subsequently gain higher scores on a measure of acquiescent response set than would placebo-treated controls. The hypothesis was supported
