Skills for coping with perceived provocation may be taught, so that nonviolent options are available and so that they become more accessible when people are under the influence of alcohol. Alcohol's effect on reducing self-awareness may be counteracted by teaching mindfulness techniques and the ability to 'act sober' in provocative situations. Setting individual implementation intentions may facilitate harm avoidance in high-risk social situations through preplanning of specific sensible behavioural strategies.

“…The Alcohol‐Related Aggression Questionnaire (ARAQ; McMurran et al , 2006) is a 28‐item questionnaire measuring the alcohol–aggression relationship. Items are rated on a four‐point scale, ranging from always false for me (0) to always true for me (3).…”

“…Violent outcomes may be influenced by another factor: alcohol–aggression outcome expectancies. The belief that drinking causes aggression is associated with aggression in male heavy drinkers (McMurran et al , 2006; Quigley, Corbett, & Tedeschi, 2002; Zhang, Welte, & Wieczorek, 2002). Here, we examine alcohol–aggression outcome expectancies, with the expectation that those whose violence is in defence in response to threat will show lower alcohol–aggression outcome expectancies than those in the other two groups.…”

Purpose. Alcohol‐related violence is a serious problem and treatments for high‐risk individuals need to be developed. Classification helps to route people into appropriate treatments. Drawing on animal research, we define alcohol‐related violence in relation to ultimate goals. We propose three types of violence: (1) violence in the pursuit of material goals, (2) violence in pursuit of social dominance goals, and (3) violence as defence in response to threat. The aim is to explore factors that we expect to relate to this tripartite typology, with the aim of providing a preliminary validation. Method. Participants were 149 young male prisoners who had committed an offence of violence that was alcohol related. Semi‐structured interviews elicited information about the offence that enabled classification into one of the three types. Differences between groups were examined at the event level – level of violence during the offence and alcohol consumption before the offence – and at group level – trait aggression, trait anxiety, anger control, and alcohol–aggression outcome expectancies. Results. No differences were found in levels of violence or alcohol consumption. Those whose violence was in the pursuit of material goals were high on trait aggression, trait anger, trait anxiety, and anger suppression. Those who used violence in the pursuit of social dominance showed high trait aggression and trait anger. Those whose violence was a defence in response to threat showed lower trait aggression and trait anger. Conclusion. The findings are discussed in relation to differential group profiles and treatment needs.

“…Of direct relevance to assessment of the association between alcohol use and aggression is the development of the Alcohol-related Aggression Questionnaire (ARAQ-28;McMurran et al, 2006). The ARAQ-28 is a 28-item measure of alcohol related aggression with 5 subscales showing good internal consistency and concurrent validity.…”

Assessing Comorbid Substance Use in Detained Psychiatric Patients: Issues and Instruments for Evaluating Treatment Outcome

This review assesses the issues involved in the selection and treatment of patients comorbid for mental illness and substance misuse being treated in secure psychiatric facilities. It includes those individuals who have a history of offending and whose placement is the result of severe behavioral disturbance. The relevant issues in the assessment and treatment of these patients are reviewed and a battery of tests is suggested on the basis of their usefulness with this population in terms of their brevity, ease of administration, and for their value in planning treatment, providing motivational feedback, and monitoring change. The paucity of assessment tools developed specifically for this patient population is highlighted.
