  • Book cover of Promoting Self-Change from Problem Substance Use

    For many years, what has been known about recovery from addictive behaviors has come solely from treatment studies. Only recently has the study of recoveries in the absence of formal treatment or self-help groups provided an alternative source of information. This book on the process of self-change from addictive behaviors is the first of its kind, as it presents more than research findings. Rather, it presents the process of self-change from several different perspectives - environmental, cross-cultural, prevention and interventions at both societal and individual level. It provides strategies for how health care practitioners and government policy makers alike can aid and foster self-change. Directions for future research priorities are also presented.

  • Book cover of Suicide Attempts

    The military physician is frequently confronted by patients who have made a suicide attempt. In an attempt to clarify the significance of these suicide attempts in the military, all patients who had made a suicide attempt in a nine-month period, and who were seen by the psychiatric staff of the U.S. Naval Aviation Medical Center, were retrospectively studied (N = 42). The suicide group was compared on 35 demographic, historical, and clinical variables to two control populations: (1) randomly selected psychiatric in-patients (N = 20) who did not make a suicide attempt; (2) well-adjusted enlisted men seen for administrative screening evaluations (N = 30). The suicide group and the psychiatric control group were followed 9 to 18 months after initial psychiatric contact. All data were statistically analyzed. From these data emerged statistically significant guidelines for the evaluation, treatment, and disposition of suicidal patients by the military psychiatrist.
