Participant Experiences of Microdosed Lysergic Acid Diethylamide in a 6-Week Randomised Controlled Trial
Microdosing psychedelics is an increasingly popular phenomenon where small amounts of psychedelic drugs are taken regularly. Qualitative data have been published regarding the experiences of microdosers, but never in the context of a randomised controlled trial. Semi-structured video interviews with 40 healthy males were conducted following a double-blind placebo-controlled trial of 10 μg of lysergic acid diethylamide every third day for 6 weeks.…
Cancer Healthcare Workers’ Perceptions toward Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy
Recent clinical trials suggest that psychedelic-assisted therapy is a promising intervention for reducing anxiety and depression and ameliorating existential despair in advanced cancer patients. However, little is known about perceptions toward this treatment from the key gatekeepers to this population. The current study aimed to understand the perceptions of cancer healthcare professionals about the potential use of psychedelic-assisted therapy …
A Proposed Definition and Structure of Counselor Dispositions
Dispositions have been identified as critical elements of counselor development and competency. Although there is currently no professional agreement regarding the definition or structure of counselor dispositions, the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP 2016 Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs. (2016). Standards for accreditation. Alexandria, VA: Author. Retrieved …
Development and Psychometric Properties of Scores From the Short Index of Self-Directedness
This research reports the development and psychometric properties of scores from the 10-item Short Index of Self-Directedness (SISD), drawn from the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI; C. R. Cloninger, 1987/1992a) and the TCI-125 (C. R. Cloninger, 1992b). Factor structure, construct validity, internal consistency, and test—retest reliability of SISD scores are reported
Stability and Correlates of the California Verbal Learning Test for a Sample of Normal Elderly Persons
The test-retest stability of the California Verbal Learning Test was examined for a normal elderly sample of 28 men and 74 women along with the correlation for total recall with scores on selected variables. Mean age was 72 yr. The test was re-administered after one year. Mean total recall did not change; the stability coefficient was .64. Coefficients for the other scores ranged considerably (.27 for recognition hits to .62 for perseverations) a…
Construct Validity of the Attitudes About Reality Scale
To explore the construct validity of the Attitudes About Reality Scale, a measure of personal epistemology grounded on a social constructionist to logical positivist continuum, 118 employees of a mental health center completed the Attitudes About Reality Scale, three subscales of the Interpersonal Reactivity Inventory as a measure of empathy, the Social Interest Inventory as a measure of the Adlerian social interest concept, the Multistimulus Typ…

Clinical Algorithms for Prehospital Cardiac Care
Algorithms for the prehospital management of cardiac arrhythmias were developed and their use by and value to paramedics evaluated. The algorithms, in booklet form, were distributed to half of the Philadelphia paramedic platoons; paramedics in the other platoons followed a narrative protocol that reflected identical contents. An arrhythmia recognition test given 18 months after the algorithm booklets were introduced showed that paramedics who rec…
Determining the Generalizability of Rating Scales in Clinical Settings
Traditional approaches to interrater reliability presuppose that reliability is diminished only by undifferentiated random measurement errors. Generalizability theory offers a more comprehensive and appropriate framework for viewing problems associated with assessments derived from multiple raters. A study involving the use of the Functional Limitation Scale (FLS) by three physicians to assess patient status at five points in time illustrates thi…
