Impact of maternal alcoholism on separation of children from their mothers
Patterns of maternal child co-residence among 25 alcoholic women incarcerated for drunk driving are examined. Two-thirds of these mothers reported significant periods of time, not due to incarceration, when minor children did not reside with them. Fewer than half of the placements were mandated by child-protective services. Having two or more children while actively alcoholic or residing with a substance abuser correlated strongly with separate r…

The Habermas-Gadamer Debate
The full implications of the Habermas-Gadamer debate have yet to be drawn. In 1967, in the context of a discussion of the methodology of social science, Habermas criticized Gadamer's hermeneutics. His criticisms precipitated a confrontation which included replies and counter-replies by the two main figures as well as contributions by Karl-Otto Apel, Albrecht Wellmer, and Paul Ricoeur.' But the discussions of this intellectual event in English thu…

Alcoholism
Drinking Patterns during Work-Contingent and NonContingent Alcohol Acquisition
Drinking patterns of alcoholics were compared under conditions which allowed unrestricted access to alcohol (N = 18), and where it was necessary to perform a simple operant task in order to obtain both alcohol and cigarettes (N = 8). Work-contingent alcohol acquisition was characterized by alternations between drinking episodes of 3-6 days, and relatively abstinent work periods of 2-3 days which were usually associated with partial withdrawal sig…
Adrenal Function and Alcoholism
An increase in serum cortisol levels was found in alcoholic subjects during a period of 11-29 consecutive days of experimentally induced ethanol intoxication. Elevated serum cortisol levels were correlated with a progressive increase in blood alcohol levels, indicating a general dose response relationship. However, blood alcohol levels were Subluenced by factors other than the dose of alcohol ingested. Such factors included intercurrent gastroint…
Adrenal Function and Alcoholism
Urinary excretion of catecholamines and their metabolites were determined in alcoholic subjects during chronic ethanol ingestion and after alcohol withdrawal. A dose response relationship was found between magnitude of blood alcohol levels and increased excretion of epinephrine, metanephrine, norepinephrine and noremetanephrine. Maximal excretion of epinephrine occurred when subjects developed withdrawal signs and symptoms after they had stopped …
Electrolytes and Osmolality in Alcoholics During Experimentally Induced Intoxication
Serum and urine osmolality and electrolytes were measured in 6 alcoholic subjects prior to, during, and following a period of experimentally induced ethanol intoxication. A significant increase in serum osmolality was correlated with increased levels of serum sodium. Diuresis only occurred during the initial phase of alcohol administration and did not persist during prolonged drinking. Hematocrit levels decreased although dietary and vitamin inta…
Comparative Psychophysiological Studies of Alcoholic and Nonalcoholic Subjects Undergoing Experimentally Induced Ethanol Intoxication
Four chronic alcoholic and 4 nonalcoholic subjects were studied before, while, and after they underwent experimentally induced intoxication. Chronic alcoholics expected that when they became intoxicated their feelings, behavior, social importance, and interpersonal relationships with those around them would undergo major changes in directions they considered "better" and "more pleasing." Similar kinds of expectations were not present in the nonal…
Factors Affecting Alcohol Consumption in Primates
The effects of avoidance conditioning, punishment and free-choice experience with etlianol (15%) on subsequent ethanol consumption were examined in primates (Macaco, mulatta). Punishment (intermittent presentation of a noxious, unavoidable electric shock) had no demonstrable effect on etlianol consumption. Avoidance conditioning did not increase the ethanol consumption of a monkey that refused ethanol in a free-choice situation. Avoidance conditi…
Serum Cortisol Levels in Alcoholic and Nonalcoholic Subjects During Experimentally Induced Ethanol Intoxication
Serum cortisol levels were determined in 4 alcoholic and 4 nonalcoholic subjects prior to, during, and following a 4-day period of experimentally induced ethanol intoxication. Nonalcoholic subjects showed significant elevations in serum cortisol levels when they developed gastrointestinal illness associated with drinking. Alcoholic subjects had elevations in serum cortisol levels which were associated with drinking, but not with gastrointestinal …
Comparative Psychophysiological Studies of Alcoholic and Nonalcoholic Subjects Undergoing Experimentally Induced Ethanol Intoxication
Four nonalcoholic and 4 alcoholic subjects were studied under metabolic ward conditions before, while, and after they underwent experimentally induced ethanol intoxication. Behavioral and psychophysiological findings obtained from each group are compared and contrasted. Nonalcoholic subjects showed aversive behavioral responses to drinking and developed gastrointestinal signs and symptoms during the drinking phase of the experiment. The alcoholic…
