This qualitative study explored the treatment experience and the therapeutic relationship of participants receiving an integrated psychological treatment for comorbid alcohol use problems and depressive disorders. Semistructured interviews targeting experience of therapy and the relationship with the therapist were carried out with seven participants. Transcripts were analyzed using Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis to reveal major themes. Four major themes were identified. “Nature of the relationship” describes the importance of the client's perception of the therapeutic relationship experienced, “Confidence in therapy” and “Acknowledgment of experience” address components assisting the development of a positive alliance, and “Meeting unmet needs for connection” illustrates the importance of a positive therapeutic relationship for this population. Participants thought that clinicians would benefit from a good understanding of the role the alliance relationship plays within comorbidity treatment, of the need this relationship meets for this population, and the importance of engendering confidence in therapy and recognizing client perspectives.

Background:The relationship between alcohol usage, depressive psychopathological board represent a reality in psychiatric practice. The neurobiochemical layers of the two psychic pathologies are inter-correlated.The dopaminergic deficice, especially on the compensation path, for regulating the GABA-ergic and GLUTAMATE-ergic pathways, the serotoninergic and noradrenergic dysfunctions being present in both disorders.The amygdalae's anatomical circuit with the compensation paths (ventral segment and accumbens nuclei) represents the neurobiological substratum of comorbidity.Objective and methods:A retrospective, observational, open study was carried out in the period 2005 - 2007 on a lot of 200 male patients aged between 19 and 65 years, admitted in the clinic with the diagnosis “addiction disorder”, established according to the DSM IV-R criteria.Results:An depressive board associated with addiction disorder was observed in 140 patients from the studied lot.Conclusions:The alcohol use is induced by an depressive pathology, as the patients use alcohol as an anxiolytic and sedative.The depressive disorder overlapped on the symptomatology induced by alcohol use is frequently characterized by psychomotor restlessness and suicidal ideation.The depressive pathology is developed from the beginning of the addiction disorder or at a very short time after establishing a diagnosis, especially in the young patients.

Abstract Autism, which is common in individuals with fragile X syndrome, is often difficult to diagnose. We compared the diagnostic classifications of two measures for autism diagnosis, the ADOS and the ADI-R, in addition to the DSM-IV-TR in 63 males with this syndrome. Overall, 30% of the subjects met criteria for autistic disorder and 30% met criteria for PDD-NOS. The classifications on the ADOS and DSM-IV-TR were most similar, whereas the ADI-R classified subjects as autistic much more frequently. We further investigated the relationship of both FMRP and FMR1 mRNA to symptoms of autism in this cohort and found no significant relationship between the measures of autism and molecular features, including FMRP, FMR1 mRNA, and CGG repeat number.

Paranormal Experience

We examined the relationship of tolerance of ambiguity to severe global factors and specific types of anomalous or paranormal experience. 107 undergraduate students completed MacDonald's 1970 AT-20 and the Anomalous Experiences Inventory of Kumar, Pekala, and Gallagher. Scores on the five subscales of the Anomalous Experiences Inventory correlated differently with tolerance of ambiguity. Global paranormal beliefs, abilities, experiences, and drug use were positively associated with tolerance of ambiguity, whereas a fear of paranormal experience showed a negative relation. The specific types of anomalous experiences that correlated with tolerance of ambiguity often involved internal or physiological experience, e.g., precognitive dreams, memories of reincarnation, visual apparitions, and vestibular alterations. We generally found no effects of age or sex. These results are consistent with the idea that some paranormal experiences are misattributions of internal experience to external (‘paranormal’) sources, a process analogous to mechanisms underpinning delusions and hallucinations.
