Land Requirements for the Solar and Coal Options
The absolute quantity of land committed as a function of various energy decisions is an emerging issue of significance in energy planning. Since the 1973 Arab oil embargo sensitized us to the need to develop renewable energy resources, the attention which consequent land commitments has received has often been directed at various solar options. This paper reports the approach and results of a land-use comparison over the entire energy-supply cycl…
Effectiveness of Extended Aftercare in the Treatment of Alcoholism
A 60-day hospitalization program followed by outpatient group therapy produced the same rate of improvement in alcoholics as 90 days of hospitalization without aftercare
The Brief Mast
The authors report an abbreviated version of the Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test (MAST). They hypothesized, on the basis of previously published data, that scores based on ten of the questions of the MAST would be as effective in discriminating between alcoholics and nonalcoholics as scores based on all 25 questions. The responses of 60 alcoholic and 62 nonalcoholic psychiatric patients supported their hypothesis.
Dimensions of Alcoholism
Responses of alcoholics to a variety of scales were analyzed to identify dimensions of alcoholism. The major factor that emerged was loss of control over drinking. A successfully treated group had higher scores on a marital-emotional disruption factor than a therapeutic failure group
Biased Sampling in Alcoholism Treatment Research
Response to Treatment of Alcoholism; a Follow-Up Study
Factor Analysis of Psychiatric Symptoms
Varimax factor analysis of 20 symptoms obtained at admission ratings of a consecutive sample of 201 chronic alcoholic patients in a Veterans Administration Hospital Treatment Program yielded 6 factors (eigenvalue ≥ 1): Depression-Anxiety, Uncooperative, Disorganized Thinking, Memory Deficit, Disoriented, and Unmotivated. Four of these same factors have been reported in a five-factor solution of these same 20 rating-scale variables on a large samp…
