Addicts As People Addicts as People William R. Miller, Ph.D. Center on Alcoholism, Substance Abuse and Addictions (CASAA) The University of New Mexico (USA) A Conflict of Interest The speaker is ambivalent about addiction treatment in the U.S. Origins of Stigma U.S. Prohibition 1920 • Alcohol Education During Prohibition • Alcohol is a medically and socially dangerous drug • Drinkers inflict great harm and cost on society • Alcohol cannot be used for long in moderation • Those who drink are headed for insanity or death • Abstinence is the only sane choice and then . End of Prohibition 1933 National Cognitive Dissonance 1935 The Seed of a Solution • It is only certain people who are at risk • Alcoholics are different from normal people • Non-alcoholics can drink with impunity Alcoholics/Addicts as “Other” An American Disease Model 1. Alcoholics have a disease that renders them constitutionally incapable of drinking in moderation 2. Their loss of control is permanent and irreversible 3. Therefore lifelong abstinence is essential for alcoholics 4. They have immature defense mechanisms and personality 5. Particularly a high level of “denial” and pathological lying 6. Therefore alcoholics are out of touch with reality “The quest for the test” Miller, W. R. (1986). Haunted by the Zeitgeist: Reflections on contrasting treatment goals and concepts of alcoholism in Europe and the United States. Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 472, 110-129. This model justified “treatments” that would constitute malpractice for any other disorder “When the executive tried to deny that he had a drinking problem the medical director came down hard: ‘Shut up and listen.’ he said. ‘Alcoholics are liars so we don’t want to hear what you have to say.’” (Greenberger, Wall Street Journal, 1983. p.1) “Now Buster, I’m going to tell you what to do. That’s the way we operate in Synanon; you see, you’re getting a little emotional surgery. If you don’t like the surgery, fine, go do what you have to do. Maybe we’ll get you again after you get out of the penitentiary or after you get a drug overdose. ‘Nobody tells me what to do.’ Nobody in the world says that except dingbats like dope fiends, alcoholics and brush-face-covered El Gatos.” (Yablonsky, 1989 quoting Chuck Dederich, founder of Synanon) “Addiction counselors” with low educational standards, low salaries and status What about scientific evidence? • Addictive behavior responds to normal principles of behavior and social influence • No scientific evidence for inherent loss of control • Most recovery happens without formal treatment • No consistent addictive personality; wide diversity • Normal defense mechanisms in alcoholism (Donovan et al., 1975, 1977) • 100 % negative trials of confrontational treatments (Miller & Wilbourne, 2002) • Client belief in disease model predicts relapse (Miller et al., 1996) • No qualitatively different group of “alcoholics” or “addicts” (DSM-5) i.e., “Alcoholics”/”addicts” are not a separate class of people People are not Perfect • Perfect symptom-free life is a peculiar standard for treatment success! • Combined results for 8,389 people in treatment for alcohol use disorders in seven multisite trials: • 1 year outcome • 1.5% mortality • 24% continuous abstinence for 12 months • Among those who drank, alcohol consumption decreased by 87% and alcohol-related problems decreased by 60% • These outcomes have not changed substantially in 40 years Miller, W. R., Walters, S. T., & Bennett, M. E. (2001). How effective is alcoholism treatment in the United States? Journal of Studies on Alcohol, 62, 211-220.

A. T. P1, Sakkeel. K. P2 ABSTRACT: Lying is a part of communication and a form of social behavior which is involved in interacting with others. Lying means saying a statement that he/she knows themselves as false to others to whom he/she want to perceive it as true. It can be explained by different psychological principles of psychodynamic theory, humanistic theory, behavior theory etc. Lying arises from hedonistic nature of humans that to avoid pain and to increase pleasure. It can be also seen that we lies not only for personal gains but also for others gain too. That is to avoid harm affecting ourselves and to avoid hurting others. Lying can be accepted if it saves someone’s life-ourselves or of others. Keywords: Psychological factors, Lie INTRODUCTION: Lying is a form of deceiving others verbally. It is a part of our behavioral response in communicating with others. It has long been a part of everyday life. We can't get through even a single day without telling lies. It is a consistent feature of human social behavior. We are not aware of all the lies we tell. We people lie most the time in our daily life, afraid of other people finding out the truth about us. We lie mostly to our parents, partners, friends, supervisors and so on to whomever else with whom we interact.

Here, we performed the largest diffusion tensor imag- ing (DTI) study of incarcerated criminal offenders to date (N 5 147) to determine whether psychopa- thy severity is linked to the microstructural integrity of major white matter tracts in the brain. Consistent with the results of previous studies in smaller samples, we found that psychopathy was associated with reduced fractional anisotropy in the right uncinate fasciculus (UF; the major white matter tract connecting ventral frontal and anterior temporal cortices). We found no such associa- tion in the left UF or in adjacent frontal or temporal white matter tracts. Moreover, the right UF finding was specifically related to the interpersonal features of psychopathy (glib superficial charm, grandiose sense of self-worth, pathological lying, manipulativeness), rather than the affective, anti- social, or lifestyle features.

During the two years in development, the program was field tested in various communities and various formats. Recommendations from those pilot experiences were implemented.We would like to thank Stan Wiens for the coordination, research and format of this program.

  • Introduction Psychopathy and Substance Addiction Are Highly Co
    1 Introduction Psychopathy and substance addiction are highly co-morbid. This co-morbidity has often been examined in a cause and effect relationship, where one condition pre-dates the other and results in the onset of the second condition. Rather than view the co-morbidity between addiction and psychopathy as a cause and effect relationship, I will argue that the two disorders are actually linked by a series of underlying traits. These traits do not serve as simply common characteristics among addicts and psychopaths, but rather as an explanation for the emergence of both addictive and psychopathic behaviors in certain individuals. In examining the presence of impulsivity and novelty seeking in both addicts and psychopaths, these characteristics emerge as hallmark traits in both populations. Recent evidence suggests that both these traits may result from the presence of a specific polymorphism on the dopamine D4 receptor gene. This 7-repeat sequence on the dopamine D4 receptor gene may ultimately account for a pre-disposed, genetic vulnerability for the emergence of psychopathy and addictions as the result of increased impulsivity and novelty seeking coupled with negative environmental factors. History of Psychopathy Throughout history, societal norms define normal behavior. Defining and understanding normalcy has not been nearly as difficult as understanding the abnormal. The extremes of society present a struggle for explaining human behavior. While both the exceptionally good and terribly evil fall outside the realm of most human experiences, societies have always been fascinated with attempting to understand the extremes of behavior perceived as evil. 2 Psychopathy as a modern construct for understanding the behaviors and expressions which characterize the most evil extremes of society has largely been defined by the work of Robert Hare, who not only developed the defining list of psychopathic traits, but also created the Psychopathy Checklist, Revised for psychopathic evaluation (Hare online).

    The Structure of Deception: Validation of the Lying Profile Questionnaire Dominique Makowski1,*, Tam Pham1, Zen J. Lau1, Adrian Raine2, & S.H. Annabel Chen1, 3, 4, * 1 School of Social Sciences, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore 2 Departments of Criminology, Psychiatry, and Psychology, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA 3 Centre for Research and Development in Learning, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore 4 Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore The conceptualization of deception as a dispositional trait is under-represented in the liter- ature. Despite scientific evidence supporting the existence of individual differences in lying, a validated measure of dispositional deception is still lacking. This study aims to explore the structure of dispositional deception by validating a 16-item questionnaire to characterize individuals’ lying patterns. The final sample included 716 participants (Mean age = 25.02; 55.87% females) who were recruited via posters, flyers, and online social media platforms in Singapore. Our findings suggested four distinct latent dimensions: frequency, ability, nega- tivity, and contextuality. We established the convergent validity of our measure by showing significant relationships with social desirability, malevolent traits, cognitive control deficits, normal and pathological personality traits, as well as demographic variables such as sex, age, and religiosity. Overall, the present study introduced a general framework to understanding deception as a dispositional trait.

  • Alzheimer's Disease Pathology As a Clue To
    Alzheimer’s Disease Pathology as a Clue to Pathogenesis DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Kristen E. Funk Graduate Program in Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Jeffrey A. Kuret, PhD, Advisor Christopher J. Phiel, PhD David E. Somers, PhD Mariano S. Viapiano, PhD Copyright by Kristen E. Funk 2012 Abstract Alzheimer’s disease is characterized pathologically by two intracellular lesions, granulovacuolar degeneration and neurofibrillary tangles. Because Alzheimer’s disease is primarily sporadic, the traditional starting point for studying disease is pathology. It is still debated whether these hallmark lesions are markers or mediators of disease progression; however, the correlation between these lesions and disease progression warrants their use as clues to underlying disease processes. The molecular mechanisms of their development, their role in the disease process, and their connection to one another are not fully understood. Granulovacuolar degeneration involves the accumulation of large, double membrane-bound bodies within certain neurons during the course of disease. Because of their ultrastructure, it is hypothesized that the bodies are autophagic. To test this, colocalization of autophagic and endocytic markers with a marker for granulovacuolar degeneration was investigated in hippocampal sections prepared from post mortem late stage Alzheimer’s
