Alcoholic blackout for criminally relevant behavior.

Some criminal suspects claim to have had an alcohol-induced blackout during crimes they have committed. Are alcoholic blackouts a frequently occurring phenomenon, or are they merely used as an excuse to minimize responsibility? Frequency and type of blackout were surveyed retrospectively in two healthy samples (n = 256 and n = 100). Also, a comparison of blood alcohol concentrations was made between people who did and those who did not claim a blackout when stopped in a traffic-control study (n = 100). In the two survey studies, blackouts were reported frequently by the person himself (or herself) and others (67% and 76%, respectively) in contrast to the traffic-control study (14%), in which blackouts were reported only when persons were involved in an accident. These results indicate that although blackouts during serious misbehavior are reported outside the court, both the denial and the claim of alcoholic blackout may serve a strategic function.

A meta-analysis of intervention research with problem behavior: treatment validity and standards of practice.

Published intervention research to remediate problem behavior provides a major source of empirical evidence regarding standards of practice and the relative effectiveness of intervention strategies. A meta-analysis of the developmental disabilities literature for the years 1976 through 1987 was performed. Two measures of intervention effectiveness were employed to evaluate the relations between standards of practice, intervention and participant characteristics, and the treatment validity of different levels of intervention for a range of excess behaviors. The results largely failed to support several widespread assumptions regarding precepts of clinical practice. Suggestions were made concerning clinical-experimental research and publication practices to ensure that future work will provide a more conclusive base.

Preparing students for physical restraint.

While not encouraging the use of physical restrains on mental patients, the author presents a statement of its continuing use and underscores the need for preparing students for a group of traditional procedures that in some ways are increasingly out of step with our times and aesthetically offensive. Two specific clinical indications for restraint are discussed.

Evaluation of psychic parameters in seamen and fishermen with a long employment period. Part I.

The aim of the present study was to select these personality features of seafarers with a long employment period, which affect the process of occupational adaptation. A group of 588 seamen of deck, catering and engine crew--including fishermen from the fish processing plant, mean age 44,89 years and the mean period of employment at sea 19,42 years, was subjected to MMPI test. The highest number of results deviating from the norm were found in the group of engine crew. The highest rate of psychological disturbances were found in fishermen from the processing plant. The smallest amount of pathology revealing results were noted in the deck and catering crew--it comprised the highest number of seamen counted as psychologically normal and the least as neurotic. In all the seamen and fishermen tested the examinations revealed a high prevalence of neuroses--36% of the population examined particularly psychosomatic neurosis. Neurosis presents a serious health problem in this occupational group, and it is probably caused by the specific conditions of life and work at sea.
