Subjective Appraisal of Problem Severity and the ASI
The Addiction Severity Index is a popular research and clinical tool for the characterization of individuals grappling with substance abuse problems. For research, use of the seven objectively calculated composite scores of problem severity is recommended. In contrast, clinical use of the instrument relies more upon its subjectively derived interviewer and client severity rating scores. However, little systematic research has looked at the compar…
The Comparability of Male Violent Substance Abusers in Violence or Substance Abuse Treatment
The Role of Spouses of Substance Abusers in Treatment
Studies exploring gender differences among substance abusers in treatment have been fairly consistent in finding that females who enter treatment express more severe psychological and psychosocial disturbances than males, despite presenting with shorter and less intense substance abuse histories. However, strands of evidence suggest that the presence of a spouse, generally perceived as an asset in the treatment of the substance abuser, may have d…
Experimental manipulation of aerobic fitness and the response to psychosocial stress
To determine whether aerobic fitness training alters response to psychosocial stress, 38 males were randomly assigned to either aerobic, anaerobic (weight-lifting), or waiting-list control groups. Experimental groups met three to four times per week in 1-hr sessions aimed at improving either cardiovascular endurance or muscular strength. Aerobic fitness level, heart rate and subjective response to laboratory psychosocial stress, and self-reports …
Aerobic Fitness Level and Reactivity to Psychosocial Stress
Aerobic fitness is associated with numerous physiological adaptations which permit physical stress to be coped with more efficiently. The present experiment examined whether aerobic fitness influences emotional response. Heart rate, biochemical measures (catecholamines, cortisol, prolactin, lactic acid), and self-reported arousal and anxiety were monitored in 15 highly trained and 15 untrained subjects at various points before, during and followi…
