DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Drinker Inventory of Consequences (DrInC) was adopted in 1990 as one of the core outcome measures for Project MATCH, a multisite clinical trial of psycho-social treatments for alcoholism funded by the Nat. Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. Most of the data contained in this volume were collected within the context of that trial. More than 25 clinical facilities participated, providing the opportunity to assemble the diverse normative data base for treatment-seeking clients described in this manual. Chapters: background and rationale; scale construction and item analysis; test procedures; alternate forms; applications; and literature cited. Also: test forms, answer sheets, and profile forms.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKPsychiatric clinicians should use rating scales and questionnaires often, for they not only facilitate targeted diagnoses and treatment; they also facilitate links to empirical literature and systematize the entire process of management. Clinically oriented and highly practical, the Handbook of Clinical Rating Scales and Assessment in Psychiatry and Mental Health is an ideal tool for the busy psychiatrist, clinical psychologist, family physician, or social worker. In this ground-breaking text, leading researchers provide reviews of the most commonly used outcome and screening measures for the major psychiatric diagnoses and treatment scenarios. The full range of psychiatric disorders are covered in brief but thorough chapters, each of which provides a concise review of measurement issues related to the relevant condition, along with recommendations on which dimensions to measure – and when. The Handbook also includes ready-to-photocopy versions of the most popular, valid, and reliable scales and checklists, along with scoring keys and links to websites containing on-line versions. Moreover, the Handbook describes well known, structured, diagnostic interviews and the specialized training requirements for each. It also includes details of popular psychological tests (such as neuropsychological, personality, and projective tests), along with practical guidelines on when to request psychological testing, how to discuss the case with the assessment consultant and how to integrate information from the final testing report into treatment. Focused and immensely useful, the Handbook of Clinical Rating Scales and Assessment in Psychiatry and Mental Health is an invaluable resource for all clinicians who care for patients with psychiatric disorders.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe overwhelming majority of people who drink alcohol do so non-problematically. Nevertheless, approximately 17.6 million Americans have been diagnosed with an alcohol use disorder (AUD), which can be severely debilitating and contribute to both increased morbidity and premature mortality. Irrespective of treatment approach, drinking behavior modifications are often short-lived and relapse is common. The first year following AUD treatment has been identified as a period of high risk for relapse, and thus an important timeframe for enquiry regarding alcohol-related behavior change and its maintenance. In addition, at least among individuals with a diagnosed AUD, alcohol use and negative consequences have been shown to be related reciprocally. A commonly used measure of alcohol-related negative consequences is the Drinker Inventory of Consequences (DrInC) which has been supported empirically in several studies, although investigations of specific categories of alcohol-related negative consequences and their trajectories have been lacking. Given this background, the purpose of this dissertation was to conduct secondary data analyses to: (1) confirm the previously reported factor structure of the DrInC; (2) follow the course of the five DrInC categories of alcohol-related negative consequences across the first year post AUD treatment initiation; (3) investigate whether these trajectories vary by participant gender, age or assigned treatment condition; and (4) examine the relationships between these trajectories and subsequent drinking behavior. Data from the outpatient arm of Project MATCH (n = 952), to date the largest psychosocial alcohol treatment randomized clinical trial, were analyzed for this dissertation. Study results confirmed the DrInC factor structure and the trajectory of each DrInC category was indicative of improved alcohol-related problems across the first year post-treatment initiation period. Specific DrInC categories varied as a function of participant gender, age, and assigned treatment condition and these trajectories were predictive of subsequent drinking behavior. Specifically, higher intercepts during the three-month treatment period were associated with poorer drinking behavior one year later. Alternatively, steeper slopes were associated with improved drinking behavior and some of these relationships were modified by gender, age, and treatment condition. It was concluded that assessing alcohol-related negative consequences during the first year post-treatment initiation can have clinical utility.
