“…Preliminary convergent and discriminant validity coefficients are reported in the manual comparing the PAS with various measures of personality and psychopathology. Changes in PAS element scores were reported by Lapidus, Shin, and Hutton (2001) in response to a 6-week program to support coping skills. Holden, Wasylkiw, Starzyk, Edwards, and Book (2001) reported significant correlations between the PAS Negative Affect and Social Withdrawal element scores and the Depression subscale of the Holden Psychological Screening Inventory (Holden, 1996) in a college student population.…”

This study assessed the relationship between psychopathology with the Personality Assessment Screener (PAS) and childhood physical and sexual abuse and adult physical and sexual partner violence in a primary care sample of 98 urban-dwelling African American women. Patients completed the PAS, the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, and the Conflict Tactics Scale. The PAS total score significantly correlated with all measures of childhood and adult abuse. Stepwise regression analyses revealed that PAS element scores of Suicidal Thinking and Hostile Control significantly predicted a history of childhood physical abuse; Suicidal Thinking, Hostile Control, and Acting Out significantly predicted a history of childhood sexual abuse; Suicidal Thinking, Negative Affect, and Alienation significantly predicted current adult partner physical violence; and Psychotic Features, Alcohol Problems, and Anger Control significantly predicted current adult sexual partner violence. The PAS appears to be a useful measure for fast-paced primary care settings for identifying patients who need a more thorough assessment for abuse.

“…Self-medication, including smoking and substance abuse, is a frequent coping technique. Many types of therapeutic programs to facilitate coping have been used including hypnosis, neuro feedback, cognitive therapy, anxiety diffusion, anger management, therapeutic touch, imagery, meditation, and cognitive modeling therapy (Lapidus, Shin, & Hutton, 2001). There are few randomized trials of these techniques, however, outcomes have generally been positive when used in combination with effective medical treatment.…”

This descriptive study examined relationships between depression, health-promoting lifestyles, and physical illnesses in a sample of persons living in the community who self-reported being diagnosed with mental illnesses. Variables of age, gender, and participation in psychiatric rehabilitation services were investigated to determine significant relationships to depression and lifestyles. Fifty adults completed a demographic survey, the CES-Depression scale, and the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II. The findings emphasize the importance of psychiatric nurses assessing health-promoting lifestyles comprehensively in persons with serious mental illnesses and facilitating changes to improve both physical and mental health.

“…In line with these findings, Zhang and Heqin (1993) and Xiong et al's (1994) family intervention studies in mainland China reported that most patients with schizophrenia tended to live with their families. Thus, one can project that Korean Americans with schizophrenia are more likely to be affected by their interactions with family members compared to Whites because a higher proportion of them tend to live with their families (Lapidus, Shin, & Miles, 2001).…”

This study is to identify culturally relevant treatment methods and to assess the effects of family psychoeducational intervention for Korean Americans who had a family member with mental illness. 48 Korean Americans with children with mental illness were randomly assigned to either an experimental group program that provided culturally sensitive psychoeducation or a control group that offered individual supportive therapy. The two groups were compared on pre-and posttreatment measures of understanding of mental illness, of family empowerment, and of coping skills. Compared with the control group, the psychoeducational group members significantly decreased stigma, improved empowerment during family crises, and increased coping skills. The findings suggest that a culturally relevant psychoeducational intervention is a useful short-term treatment modality for Korean Americans with children with mental illness and can be used by social work practitioners who work with Korean Americans in the field of mental health.
