Zusammenfassung. Hintergrund: Alkoholabhängige Patienten berichten häufig von einem starken Verlangen nach Alkohol (alcohol craving). Die Ergebnisse experimenteller Untersuchungen lassen vermuten, dass Ängstlichkeit und Depressivität mit stärkerem Craving einhergehen. Darüber hinaus kann vorausgesetzt werden, dass Intensität und Häufigkeit des Verlangens nach Alkohol im Verlauf einer stationären Behandlung deutlich abnehmen. Fragestellung: Lässt sich die Konstruktvalidität einer deutschsprachigen Version der Obsessive Compulsive Drinking Scale (OCDS) empirisch belegen? Methode: Am ersten, siebten und 14. Tag nach Beginn einer stationäreren Behandlung wurde alkoholabhängigen Patienten (N = 41) jeweils eine deutschsprachige Version der OCDS sowie der Symptom-Checkliste von Derogatis vorgelegt. Ergebnisse: Das von den Patienten berichtete Verlangen nach Alkohol nahm im Verlauf der stationären Behandlung deutlich ab, Ängstlichkeit und Depressivität gingen jedoch nicht mit stärkerem Verlangen einher. Schlussfolgerungen: Möglicherweise bildet eine wöchentliche Erfassung die starken Schwankungen des Verlangens während des akuten Entzugs nicht adäquat ab.

AbstractThere is evidence suggesting that obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) in adults may be associated with an impaired ability to recognise the facial expression of disgust (Sprengelmeyer et al., 1997a; Woody, Corcoran, & Tolin, in press). It has been suggested that this impairment begins in childhood when the recognition of emotional expressions is being learnt (see Spengelmeyer et al., 1997a). This study compared the recognition of facial affect in children aged around 11 years with a diagnosis of obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD; n = 11), other anxiety disorders (n = 20), and nonclinical children (n = 19), adapting the methodology of Sprengelmeyer et al. Disgust was most commonly misclassified as anger by children in all three groups. However, children with OCD did not show any evidence of a recognition deficit for disgust in comparison to either control group. Unexpectedly, however, children with OCD recognised expressions of surprise more accurately than nonclinical children. Recognition of disgust or any other emotion was not related to child self-reported anxiety symptoms. Given the observed differences in some studies with adults, future research may benefit by examining older adolescents and young adults to determine when these effects may first be noticed.

Preliminary Validation

The aim of this study was to provide data on the preliminary validation of a clinician-report multidimensional assessment measure of mentalization (Mentalization Imbalances Scale, MIS). A random national sample of psychotherapists (N=190) completed the MIS to identify mentalization imbalances, and the Personality Disorder Checklist to assess the personality disorders (PDs) of randomly selected patients currently in their care. Factor analysis confirmed the presence of six factors that represented different imbalances of mentalization: cognitive, affective, automatic, external, imbalance toward others, and imbalance toward self. We found several significant relationships between patients’ mentalization imbalances and personality pathology. Paranoid, schizoid, and schizotypal PDs were predicted by an imbalance toward self, an imbalance the patients shared with histrionic, avoidant, and obsessive compulsive PDs, whereas dependent, borderline, and histrionic PDs were related to an imbalance toward others. Cognitive imbalance was related to schizoid, narcissistic, and obsessive compulsive PDs, whereas affective imbalance predicted antisocial, borderline, narcissistic and histrionic PDs. Automatic imbalance was related to schizotypal, antisocial, and borderline PDs. MIS represents a reliable and valid measure that can help clinicians at understanding patients’ specific difficulties of mentalization.
