Veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) consistently evidence higher rates of intimate partner aggression perpetration than veterans without PTSD, but most studies have examined among Vietnam several years after their deployment. The primary aim this study was to examine male Afghanistan or Iraq who served during Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Iraqi (OIF) compare that reported by PTSD. Three groups were recruited, OEF/OIF PTSD ( n = 27), 31), 28). Though only a few...
We tested the theory that central serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, or 5-HT) activity regulates aggression by modulating response to provocation. Eighty men and women (40 with 40 without a history of aggression) were randomly assigned receive either mg paroxetine (to acutely augment serotonergic activity) placebo, administered using double-blind procedures. Aggression was assessed during competitive reaction time game fictitious opponent. Shocks selected participant opponent before each trial,...
The high comorbidity of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and alcohol dependence (AD) has been firmly established. Although laboratory studies have examined self-reported craving in response to trauma cues, no reported on alcohol-related physiological responding cues PTSD-AD individuals. Using a cue reactivity paradigm, this study the impact personalized trauma-image vivo (e.g., salivation, craving) individuals with PTSD AD (n = 40). Participants displayed both when compared neutral...
The extent to which acute alcohol use is a unique risk factor for suicide attempts unknown. aims of the current study were quantify effect on when adjusting other exposures (other drug and negative life events).The used case-crossover design participants included 192 (62% female) recent attempters presenting Level 1 trauma hospital. A timeline followback methodology was assess within 48 hours before attempt.Results indicated that individuals at increased odds attempting soon after drinking...
To test whether a modified version of prolonged exposure (mPE) can effectively treat posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in individuals with co-occurring PTSD and substance dependence, an efficacy trial was conducted which dependent treatment-seekers (N = 126, male 54.0%, White 79.4%) were randomly assigned to mPE, mPE + trauma-focused motivational enhancement session (mPE MET-PTSD), or health information-based control condition (HLS). All participants multiply traumatized; the median...
Abstract Background Near-term risk factors for suicidal behavior, referred to as ‘warning signs’ (WS), distinguish periods of acute heightened from lower within an individual. No prior published study has examined, using a controlled design, broad set hypothesized WS suicide attempt. This addressed this gap through examination behavioral/experiential, cognitive, and affective among patients recently hospitalized following Methods Participants were recruited during hospitalization five...
Impulsivity and risk taking propensity were assessed in participants with borderline personality disorder (BPD-only; n = 19), BPD a current or past substance use (BPD-SUD; 32), matched comparison group (MC; 28). Participants administered behavioral measures of two facets the multidimensional construct impulsivity [GoStop, delay discounting task (DDT)], one measure risk-taking [Balloon Analog Risk Task (BART)], self-report (i.e., Barrett Impulsiveness Scale, Eysenck Scale). The BPD-SUD group,...
Alcohol problems are one of the most well-established risk factors for physical intimate partner violence. Nonetheless, individuals who drink heavily do so without ever aggressing against a partner. Laboratory research identifies hostility as an important moderator association between alcohol and general aggression, correlational suggests that stress coping may also be moderators alcohol-aggression link. Building on this research, authors examined hostility, coping, daily hassles...
Epidemiological research indicates that there is substantial comorbidity between posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and substance use (SUD). Moreover, growing evidence having a comorbid PTSD diagnosis associated with greater problem severity poorer outcomes from SUD treatment. In an attempt to improve the treatment outcome for individuals PTSD-SUD, recently developed treatments combine exposure therapy empirically supported SUD. This article describes one of discusses modifications have...
