Assessment of risk for violent behavior is of interest to clinicians and laymen alike. This article includes a discussion of issues related to assessment of risk of violent behavior. A review of the literature is provided. Using this information, the author suggests several factors that might increase the probability of violent behavior in historically nonviolent individuals, including antisocial behavior, social isolation, poverty, absence of support systems, severe situational stress, and substance abuse. A checklist for assessing risk of violent behavior is suggested.

The Global Financial Crisis

AbstractWhy are researchers studying the health effects of economic change reaching markedly varying conclusions? To understand these differences, we first systematically searched Web of Science for the literature on recessions and health yielding 461 articles and 14,401 cited documents. We then undertook a network analysis of co-citation pattern by disciplines, journals and backgrounds of the authors, followed by a chronological review of the literature, to trace the evolution of ideas. We then examined the extent to which earlier literature predicted what has happened in the 2007–2012 crisis. Our analysis finds the literature is dominated by disciplinary silos, with economics studies predominantly citing each other and relative isolation of psychiatry and substance abuse journals. Different philosophical approaches to assessing causality appear to contribute to varying interpretations, a tendency that is unlikely to be resolved without a shift in research norms. We conclude by calling for more inter-disciplinary research that combines empirical findings with a search for plausible mechanisms. This approach would evaluate not only the effects of economic shocks but also the mechanisms that offer protection against them.

Cancer Multiple

A 32-year-old woman with locally invasive and metastatic endometrial cancer was admitted to the hospital for the treatment of crescendo pain. The effectiveness of her medical and psychosocial care was mitigated by four issues: (1) the intractable nature of her pain, (2) substance abuse, (3) mental illness, and (4) interorganizational conflict. This case report is both a chronicle and review of the literature of these multiple issues that converged together to adversely effect the patient’s overall care.

The Relationship

BACKGROUND: Shame has been associated with a range of maladaptive behaviours, including substance abuse. Young people may be particularly vulnerable to heightened shame sensitivity, and substance abuse is a significant problem amongst UK adolescents. Although there appears to be a relationship between shame and substance abuse, the direction of the relationship remains unclear. AIM: We reviewed the literature relating to shame and substance abuse amongst young people. METHOD: Five electronic databases were searched for articles containing terms related to ‘adolescence’, ‘shame’ and ‘substance abuse’. Of the two hundred and twelve articles identified in the first sweep, six were included in the final analyses. RESULTS: Sexual abuse is indicated as a predictor of shame-proneness. Substance abuse may be a mechanism by which individuals cope with negative feelings. In general, there is a lack of literature investigating the shame-substance abuse relationship among adolescents. The available literature associates shame-proneness with poorer functioning and suggests that this may lead to psychopathology and early-onset substance misuse. Scant attention has been paid to the cognitive and emotional processes implicated. Further research is required to ascertain the strength of the shame-substance abuse relationship in young people and to develop appropriate interventions for this population.
