Life Script

A cross-sectional study performed in a Moscow hospital for addiction treatment (2019—2020) tested a hypothesis that the capacity to reflect on a life script exert¬ed a positive effect on alcohol dependence (AD) remission duration. The sample included 61 males with AD and without dual diagnosis; the mean age was 44.1 (SD = 10.1) years. Methods. (1) Socio-demographic and clinical data was collected using a semi-structured therapeutic interview. (2) Explicit representations of one’s future were evaluated using a Self-defining Future Projections task; “Life Line”, and a “Cultural script” task. (3) Data on life script characteristics was gathered using the semi-structured “Script Questionnaire”. Qualitative data was processed by means of quantitative content analysis performed by experts based on relevant guidelines. Effects of verbalized life script characteristics on several remission parameters were assessed using multiple linear regression. Results and Conclusions. People with AD who were capable of verbalizing and reflecting on long-term, self-relevant repre¬sentations of the future related to the basic beliefs about their own life course, were capable of maintaining longer remissions in contrast to those who failed to reflect on these topics and limited their memories and future projections by overgeneral cultural script events.

Full Participation

The World Health Organization's (WHO's) 2001 International Classification of Functioning Disability and Health (ICF) has as one of its central tenets the full inclusion of persons with disabilities in society. It acknowledges the need for medical and rehabilitation intervention in its biopscychosocial framework. However, the WHO realizes that society must do its part to facilitate this full participation and empowerment. Persons with complex communication needs (PWCCN) often need augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) in order to express themselves. However, in order to access and successfully use AAC, PWCCN need access to the necessary AAC devices and services, as well as a willing society to interact with them as full contributing members of society. The factors outside of a person's specific physical and/or cognitive functional limitations are addressed in the ICF via the Personal and Environmental Factors. Personal Factors include the individual's personality traits, lifestyle, experiences, social/educational/professional background, race, gender, and age. Environmental Factors include community support systems, social service agencies, governments, social networks, and those persons that interact with the PWCCN. This article addresses the sociopolitical influences on PWCCN and their functioning from a human rights perspective. The necessary introspective role of speech-language pathologists in this process is explored.

Hintergrund: Alkoholabhängigkeit ist eine Verkettung ungünstiger Entscheidungen in Bezug auf Alkoholkonsum. Dieses Entscheidungsmuster scheint sich u. a wegen pawlowsch-instrumentellen Transfereffekten (PIT-Effekten) immer wieder zu reproduzieren. Ziel dieser Literaturzusammenschau ist, wichtige Befunde zum Zusammenhang zwischen PIT-Effekten und Suchterkrankungen zusammenzutragen und offene Fragen im Hinblick auf PIT bei Alkoholabhängigkeit aufzuzeigen. Methoden: Die Literaturzusammenschau nutzte keine systematische Literaturrecherche, sondern basierte auf den Recherchen im Rahmen der Forschergruppe 1617 (Learning and Habitization in Alcohol Dependence, LeAD) der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG). Ergebnisse: PIT-Effekte könnten im Zusammenhang mit Alkoholabhängigkeit möglicherweise zu einem Teufelskreis führen. Dieser besteht aus der Verstärkung von PIT-Effekten durch Alkoholkonsum und verstärktem Alkoholkonsum aufgrund von verstärkten PIT-Effekten. Diskussion: PIT-Effekte bei Alkoholabhängigkeit sind bisher vorwiegend aus Tierstudien bekannt. Das PIT-Paradigma kann uns allerdings auch in der humanen Suchtforschung Aufschluss darüber geben, wie bestimmte Reizmuster Alkoholabhängige zum wiederholten Alkoholkonsum motivieren. Demnach können PIT-Experimente womöglich auch helfen Alkoholrückfälle vorherzusagen.

Alcohol Dependence

Hintergrund: Alkohol-assoziierte Reize lösen bei alkoholabhängigen Patienten konditionierte Reaktionen aus, die zu einer erhöhten Motivation der Alkoholeinnahme führen können. Klassische Konditionierungsprozesse scheinen demnach sowohl zur Aufrechterhaltung der Abhängigkeit als auch zum Rückfallgeschehen nach Entzug beizutragen. Bildgebende Studien weisen darauf hin, dass das dopaminerge Neurotransmittersystem an assoziativen Lernvorgängen beteiligt ist und Veränderungen innerhalb dieses Systems bei entgifteten alkoholabhängigen Patienten zum Rückfall beitragen könnten. Die genauen Mechanismen in diesem Zusammenhang sind bisher jedoch ungeklärt. Zielsetzung: Ziel dieser Arbeit ist die Darstellung von motivationalen Veränderungen und deren (neuroadaptiven) Grundlagen bei Alkoholabhängigkeit. Ein genaueres Verständnis davon, welche neuronalen und motivationalen Prozesse im Rahmen des Rückfallgeschehens eine Rolle spielen, könnte sowohl pharmakologische als auch therapeutische Implikationen für die Behandlung der Alkoholabhängigkeit liefern. Methodik: Diese Arbeit umfasst eine Literaturanalyse über neuroadaptive Veränderungen bei Alkoholabhängigkeit mit besonderem Fokus auf Lernprozesse und deren Rolle beim Rückfallgeschehen. Die Literaturrecherche basiert auf Recherchen der Forschergruppe 1617 der Deutschen Forschungsgesellschaft (DFG; Learning and Habitization in Alcohol Dependence, LeAD). Schlussfolgerung: Bisher existieren keine Untersuchungen, in denen neuroadaptive Veränderungen der Alkoholabhängigkeit mit spezifischen Lerndefiziten in Zusammenhang gebracht werden. Die DFG Forschergruppe LeAD untersucht neuronale Korrelate von lernbezogenen Rückfallprädiktoren. Ein Ziel dieser Untersuchung ist es herauszufinden, warum alkoholabhängige Patienten nach ihrer Entgiftung oft nicht lernen, Alkohol durch alternative belohnende Reize und Situation zu ersetzen und welche neuronalen Grundlagen diesem Defizit zu Grunde liegen.

Abstract. Background: Previous research has demonstrated an association between alcohol-related problems and suicidal ideation (SI). Aims: The present study evaluated, simultaneously, alcohol consequences and symptoms of alcohol dependence as predictors of SI after adjusting for depressive symptoms and alcohol consumption. Method: A sample of 298 Alaskan undergraduates completed survey measures, including the Young Adult Alcohol Consequences Questionnaire, the Short Alcohol Dependence Data Questionnaire, and the Beck Depression Inventory – II. The association between alcohol problems and SI status was evaluated using sequential logistic regression. Results: Symptoms of alcohol dependence (OR = 1.88, p < .05), but not alcohol-related consequences (OR = 1.01, p = .95), emerged as an independent predictor of SI status above and beyond depressive symptoms (OR = 2.39, p < .001) and alcohol consumption (OR = 1.08, p = .39). Conclusion: Alcohol dependence symptoms represented a unique risk for SI relative to alcohol-related consequences and alcohol consumption. Future research should examine the causal mechanism behind the relationship between alcohol dependence and suicidality among university students. Assessing the presence of dependence symptoms may improve the accuracy of identifying students at risk of SI.
