Background Reward deprivation has been implicated in major depressive disorder and severe substance abuse, but its potential relation to alcohol use ( AUD ) symptoms non‐treatment‐seeking young adult drinkers is less clear. Depression often comorbid with misuse, so relations of reward might be due part the presence adults. Behavioral economic theory views addiction as a state that related deficits drug‐free rewards, therefore requires an investigation into whether direct misuse is, at least...
Abstract Introduction Equine-assisted therapy (EAT) for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has attracted great interest despite lacking empirical support, a manual, and standardized protocol. Our team of experts in EAT PTSD developed an eight-session group treatment protocol (EAT-PTSD) administered it to two pilot groups military veterans assess initial effects. Materials Methods We describe the development which was used with veterans. Protocol safety, feasibility, acceptability were...
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) frequently co-occurs with myriad mood and anxiety disorders including generalized (GAD). Despite this comorbidity's prevalence, mechanisms underlying the co-occurrence of PTSD GAD remains understudied. An emotion dysregulation framework routinely is used to understand both but has not been applied PTSD-GAD comorbidity. Using MANOVA, present study tested domains (DERS) positive regulation (AEQ) as differentiators alone versus using pre-intervention data...
Construal Level Theory states that psychologically proximal outcomes are construed concretely while distal abstractly. Previous research suggests the principles of can be applied to enhance self-control, as measured by delay discounting. The present studies replicate and expand on this work examining whether theory-informed priming manipulations lead discounting reductions in a repeated-measures design. Study 1 conceptually replicated previous work, with reduced observed function thinking...
Background Alcohol-impaired driving among college students represents a significant public health concern, yet little is known about specific theoretical and individual difference risk factors for after drinking heavy students. This study evaluated the hypothesis that drinkers with elevated alcohol demand would be more likely to report driving. Method Participants were 207 who reported at least 1 episode (4/5 or drinks in occasion woman/man) past month. completed an purchase task assessed...
Intimate partner violence (IPV) against women, particularly those living in poverty who have multiple marginalized identities, is a significant public health issue. IPV associated with numerous mental concerns including depression, hopelessness, and suicidal behavior. The present study examined the ecological determinants of these outcomes high-risk sample 67 low-income, African American women survivors IPV. Based on an framework that conceptualizes individuals as nested multiple,...
Abstract We contextualize and provide commentary on articles in the current issue that address nature, measurement, consequences of exposure to potentially morally injurious events (PMIEs) moral injury (MI). PMIEs involve acts commission or omission oneself others can include perpetration of, failure prevent, harm; MI includes “the lasting psychological, biological, spiritual, behavioral, social impact perpetrating, failing bearing witness transgress deeply held beliefs expectations” (Litz...
Posttraumatic stress (PTS) symptoms are associated with alcohol-related consequences, but there is a need to understand mediators that may help explain the reasons for this relationship. Individuals PTS experience elevated craving and alcohol reward value (demand), which contribute risk consequences. We examined relationships between status, craving, demand, consequences in PTS-positive (n = 64) PTS-negative 200) college students (M age 21.7; 77% women; 54% Caucasian; 34% African American)...
Psychotherapy noncompletion rates for veterans and their families are high. This study sought to (a) measure of such patients at a university-based treatment center, (b) compare veteran family member attrition rates, (c) identify dropout predictors, (d) explore clinicians' perspectives on noncompletion. Using quantitative qualitative approaches, we analyzed demographic clinical characteristics 141 (90 military veterans; 51 members) in university center. We defined as not completing the...
Consistent themes in the constructivist supervision of counseling and psychotherapy include fostering supervisee reflexivity, perspective taking, capacity to generate alternative conceptualizations interventions. In keeping with these objectives, we describe a technique for deepening therapists' reflection on their interchanges clients through "questioning questions" clients' responses them. We further illustrate procedure therapist training who (a) analyzed writing series six...
Engaging in advocacy is an ethical responsibility for behavioral health professionals, as reflected professional competencies across disciplines and personal accounts of wanting to affect change at various levels patients'/clients' communities' ecologies. However, the literature replete with examples barriers routine engagement, including lack organized structure into which efforts can be embedded. There exists desire among professionals engage more work, yet a shared sense not knowing how...

Exposure-based, cognitive-behavioral approaches received ample research, but other PTSD therapies require further empirical attention. Interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) targets affective awareness, life circumstances, social support. IPT has shown efficacy for civilians with awaits rigorous testing among personnel; only two small pilot studies case reports been...
Understanding and addressing violence among intimate partners requires sound assessment of their communication patterns. In prior research, the 35-item, self-report Communication Patterns Questionnaire (CPQ) has been used to assess patterns in violent relationships. To date, psychometric analysis CPQ examined only nonviolent couples; no studies have properties this measure a sample survivors partner (IPV). Using confirmatory factor analysis, present study evaluated structure women IPV who...
