“…However, the interrelationships among impulsivity, substance abuse, and other mental disorders are potentially complex and challenging to investigate. Sutker and her associates have discussed the various issues involved in conceptualizing and researching the relationship of psychopathology and substance abuse (Sutker & Allain, 1988;Sutker & Archer, 1984;Uddo et al, 1993). In these overviews of the complexities involved in such research, the authors offered the following conclusions: (a) Most researchers now realize that univariate, unidirectional models are not helpful in understanding the various dimensions of addictive behavior; (b) a greater understanding of possible origins, underlying mechanisms, and forms of addictive behaviors is needed; and (c) future research must include person and setting factors, biological risk markers, longitudinal measurement approaches, and relationships between substance abuse and other addictive behaviors (e.g., gambling, hypersexuality, and overeating).…”

“…Carey & Carey, 1990;Evans & Sullivan, 1990). As noted by Uddo, Malow, and Sutker (1993), the relation between substance abuse and other psychiatric disorders may be conceptualized in several ways. For example, psychopathology may serve as an antecedent or predisposing factor for substance abuse, psychopathology may occur concomitantly with or consequent to substance abuse, or substance abuse and psychopathology may coexist without significant interaction.…”

Given this theoretical attention, it would seem critical for substance abuse treatment programs to incorporate components specifically targeting impulsivity (McCown, 1990). Furthermore, understanding the pathophysiology of impulsivity is valuable in developing psychopharmacological interventions for substance abusers.As discussed in earlier chapters, the operational definition of impulsivity has varied across contexts. For example, impulsivity has been defined as a cognitive style by some authors (e.g., Kagan, 1966; We gratefully acknowledge Stacey Cunningham for her assistance with the interpretation of selected articles reviewed in the section on psychobiology and for her comments on earlier drafts of this chapter.

“…However, this study failed to use controls, instead comparing the data to published norms. Uddo, Vasterling, Brailey, and Sutker (1993), in a study of 16 Vietnam veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder, failed to find a difference in performance on the digit span when compared to matched controls. However, this study did find a significant decrement in performance on the Visual Span test of the Wechsler Memory Scale for posttraumatic stress disorder participants when compared with matched controls (Uddo et al, 1993).…”

The effect of heightened levels of physiological arousal on neuropsychological measures of attention in a nonclinical sample

Anonclinical sample of 41 participants were subjected to heightened levels of physiological arousal and measured on a number of neuropsychological measures of attention. The participants completed the measures under both 75dB and 95dB white noise. Examination of the performance on the Corsi Block Tapping Task, the Trail Making Test Part B, and the Digit Symbol Substitution Test showed significant decrements in performance on these tasks as a result of the high levels of physiological arousal. Tests that failed to show performance deficits included the Trail Making Test Part A, the Symbol Search, and measures of reaction time. These results indicate that the effect of heightened arousal on test performance is on the more complex indices of attention. It is suggested that heightened levels of arousal can influence performance in the clinical assessment situation, and collateral measurement of anxiety state may be helpful in determining the effect of this factor in conducting assessment in both clinical and nonclinical samples.

A Pilot Study Comparing Severely and Persistently Mentally III Opiate‐Addicted Patients in Dual‐Diagnosis Treatment With Patients in Methadone Maintenance

The authors describe a severely and persistently mentally ill (SPMI) opiate-addicted (OA) patient sample (n = 43) in a dual-diagnosis outpatient treatment program by demographic, clinical, and treatment characteristics and compare these with other dually diagnosed SPMI patients in the same treatment center (n = 297). Also, those SPMI/OA patients with physiological dependence (n = 20) were compared with a matched sample of OA patients in traditional methadone maintenance (n = 20). The authors then present a clinical evaluation of treatment course and outcome for the SPMI/OA patients (n = 43) and discuss implications from these pilot data.
