“…Thus, they might be regarded as core symptoms of depression, independent of associated psychiatric disorders [33]. Our results partly conform to findings reported by Clark et al [24] for male alcoholics. These authors found that seven criteria (work inhibition, guilt, self-dislike, irritability, indecisiveness, dissatisfaction, and loss of social interest) were not confounded by chronic alcohol abuse.…”

“…These authors found that seven criteria (work inhibition, guilt, self-dislike, irritability, indecisiveness, dissatisfaction, and loss of social interest) were not confounded by chronic alcohol abuse. However, we have adopted a con-firmatory factor procedure that represents a methodologically different approach as compared with the unidimensional latent trait model tested by Clark et al [24]. Hence, the different methods applied might account for the discrepant results.…”

“…In particular, gender-specific analysis has not yet been reported for patients who committed an act of deliberate self-harm (DSH) [19,20], whereas factor analysis of the BDI in alcoholics has been undertaken exclusively in male samples [21][22][23][24]. The purpose of the present study is to replicate the two-factor model of the BDI in two clinical samples of alcohol dependents and one DSH sample with special reference to possible gender differences.…”

The factor structure of the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) is still controversial. The present study attempted to replicate a general two-factor model (cognitive-affective and somatic factors) of the BDI with a confirmatory Procrustes rotation procedure in two clinical samples of patients being treated for alcohol dependence (N₁ = 243, N₂ = 148) and one clinical sample of patients admitted to an acute psychiatric ward because of an act of deliberate self-harm (N₃ = 144). In addition, due to the neglect of gender-specific analysis in factor-analytic studies of the BDI, the two-factor model was tested for males and females separately. The results did not support the validity of the two-factor model in the total samples. Gender-specific findings indicated a better fit of the model in male samples. Possible implications of a gender-specific factor structure of the BDI are discussed.

“…No 'all-purpose' cutoff score has been established; how ever, recently sober alcoholics with scores of 13 and above commonly are considered depressed [ 10,14], Generally, studies show that the BDI is an inter nally consistent, stable, and valid depression measure [15,16]; coefficient alphas for alcoholic samples range from 0.93 to 0.95 [17,18]. For estimates of the stability and validity of the BDI, sec Beck et al [15] and Beck and Beamesderfer [16]; for comments on the appropriateness of using the instrument to assess depression in alcoholic inpatient samples, see Willingbring [10], Hesselbrock et al [ 14], and Clark et al [19].…”

Alexithymia: Subscales and Relationship to Depression

The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS) scores and derived subscale scores changed in a sample of newly abstinent alcoholic inpatients. Subjects completed the TAS and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) on the date of their application for care (Time 1) and at the end of their 3rd week in treatment (Time 2). Patients’ mean BDI scores dropped significantly from Time 1 to Time 2; however, the expected concomitant drop in mean TAS scores did not occur. TAS subscales analysis suggests that the subscale associated with the ability to identify one’s feelings and to distinguish them from bodily sensations may capture the alexithymia construct better by itself than when combined with the second 2 subscales, daydreaming and external thinking, to create the total TAS score.

“…En estos se considera que existe un factor general de sintomatología depresiva subyacente a la prueba (Clark, Cavanaugh, & Gibbons, 1983;Clark, Gibbons, Fawcett, Aagesen, & Sellers, 1985) que puede descomponerse en tres factores altamente relacionados (Byrne & Baron, 1993a, 1993bByrne, Baron, Larsson, & Melin, 1995).…”
