“…Repeated information about perceived relations with parents in the first 10 years of life sharply differentiated workhouse alcoholics and controls (Pascal & Jenkins, 1960). These same rated early history variables differentiated between schizophrenics and matched controls (Horner, 1964). Rated early history variables have also differentiated between duodenal ulcer patients who have good outcome for surgery and those who, two years postoperatively, show poor outcome (Pascal, Thoroughman, Jarvis, & Jenkins, 1966).…”

Twenty-two female 5s were divided into two groups, by means of a behavioral interview, on the basis of a relatively "good" or a relatively "poor" reported early relationship with their fathers. In a second interview over closed-circuit television, three measures were taken of S's interview behavior. The E and 5 were in two separate rooms, and communication was maintained by the television cameras and receivers. The two groups responded significantly different on two of the three measures. The data suggested that present behavior can be predicted by perceived early history variables and that the interview is both a reliable and valid technique for obtaining these data.In most clinical settings, the historical determinant of behavior is accepted unequivocally. Childhood experiences are sought and put to use in both diagnostic and therapeutic functions. However, a number of impressive papers in the literature have raised doubt as to the validity of "the child being the father of the man," to borrow from an old proverb. Schofield and Balian (1959) reported a surprising overlap of pathological events in the histories of schizophrenic patients when compared with a nonpsychiatric population. More recently, in a review article, Frank (196S) concluded from a survey of 40 years of research that no unique factors of family history were found to differentiate psychotics and neurotics from controls or from each other.Perhaps underlying objections to historical data is the more basic objection to the method by which they are obtained-the interview. Haggard, Brekstad, and Skard (1960) expressed doubts concerning the reliability of anamnestic data. They concluded that the interview was not particularly accurate and was more a reflection of the person's current perception of the past rather than ac-1 Now in private practice, Jackson, Mississippi.

Environmental support contracting was evaluated as an ancillary treatment to more traditional alcoholism rehabilitation. Eighty-eight male alcoholics, who scored 10 or higher on the Environmental Deprivation Scale (EDS), were randomly dichotomized between experimental and control groups. The control group participated only in the routine, eclectic, 28-d inpatient alcoholism treatment program at this medical center. The experimental group additionally completed training to improve environmental support. Dependent variables included the EDS, the Maladaptive Behavior Rating (MBR), days of hospitalization, medical visits, and the number of medications. Each dependent variable was assessed prior to treatment, 3 months following initiation of treatment and/or 6 months following treatment. A high positive correlation was obtained between EDS and MBR scores on the 3 and 6 month followup. Both the experimental and control groups improved with regard to their level of environmental and control groups improved with regard to their level of environmental support and relative coping ability, showing less maladaptive behavior and hospitalization following treatment. The experimental group demonstrated statistically significant treatment benefit over the traditionally treated control group on both the EDS and MBR subcategories of employment at 6 months following initiation of alcohol treatment. Environmental support contracting appears to be a worthwhile addition to alcohol treatment regimen.
