Jellinek thought that alcoholism was a disease with three key symptoms

1) Loss of control over drinking


2) progression of symptoms to severe addiction


3) Death if left untreated

Alcoholism

A primary chronic disease, progressive and fatal, continuous over a periodic impaired control, distortions in thinking

"Primary" refers to

the nature of alcoholism as a disease entity in addition to and separate from other pathophysiologic states

Disease

an involuntary disability

"Progressive and fatal"

The disease persists over time and alcohol causes premature death

Four stages of alcoholism

1) Prealcoholic Stage


2) Early/Prodromal


3) Middle/Crucial


4) Late/Chronic

1) Prealcoholic Stage

Alcohol used for relief from social tension

2) Early/Prodromal

Increasing tolerance, blackouts, sneaking and gulping drinks and guilt

3) Middle/Crucial

Loss of control over drinking, personality changes, loss of friends and jobs, preoccupation with protection supply

4) Late/Chronic

Morning drinking, violation of ethical standards, tremors and hallucinations

"invisible line"

One crossed, you cannot go back to social drinking

Recovering alcoholic

Implies that one is never cured, but once ingested the disease process will continue as if the person never stopped even if they have not taken a drink for many years

Impaired control

inability to limit alcohol use or to consistently limit on any drinking occasion the duration of the episode, the quantity consumed, and/or the behavioral consequences of drinking

Preoccupation

excessive, focused attention given to the drug alcohol, its effects, and use

Adverse consequences

alcohol-related impairments in physical health, psychological functioning, interpersonal functioning, occupational functioning, and legal, financial, and or spiritual problems

Denial

a reduced sign of awareness of the fact that alcohol use is the cause of an individuals pxs rather than a solution

Strength of model

removal of social stigma that leads to humane treatment of people with pxs, more understanding

Limitations of model

May not be accurate, may remove a sense of personal responsibility and lead to passivity "there is nothing I can do now"

What they used to call addiction and alcoholism until 1980

Sociopathic personality disorder

External or overt

drinking alcohol, snorting, injecting

Internal or covert

a thought such as "If I dont get something to drink soon I wont make it"

Classical conditioning

Learning through temporal association. When two events repeatedly occur together in time they become conditioned. ex: Pavlov's Dogs


Bell and food became associated. When ringing bell without food dog salivated


Environmental cues evoke craving.


Man at bar with friends. UCS is social interaction UCR is warm feeling CS is alcohol


Or Pairing injection with your location, if move to another you overdose

CC treatment:


Cue exposure treatment

Craving develops as a result of SR bonds (pairing drugs with environmental cues) Treatment aims at presenting environmental triggers in lab, but not having them result in use causing them to extinguish SR bonds and gain control

CC treatment:


Aversion therapy

pairing a noxious stimulus with a highly attractive behavior (creating new SR bonds)


ex: Shick Shadel- pairing of vomiting and shock with alcohol


Antabuse- medication that results in alcoholics becoming ill when ingesting

Operant Conditioning BF Skinner

Humans learn behavior bc of rewards from environment.



Operant Cond:


Reinforcement

Defined as any event that increases the frequency of behavior

Operant:


Positive reinforcement

Adding a positive stimulus (smile, money) leads to increase of behavior

Operant:


Negative Reinforcement

Removing an averse stimulus (seat belt clicking turns off buzzer)

Operant:


Extinction

Removal of reinforcement that results in change (loss) of learned behavior

Operant:


Punishment

Results in decrease of behavior


Positive Punishment

Joe smoke Mary J then gets arrested, stops smoking (ADDITION of a negative)

Negative Punishment

Joe smokes Mary J, arrested, girlfriend leaves him, stops smoking (REMOVAL of a positive)

Treatments based on OC:


Contingency management

reinforcement applied systematically

Treatments based on OC:


Behavioral self-control training

brief educational approach to achieve abstinence . Setting limits on drinking, changing rate of drinking, setting up rewards when goals achieved

Social learning theory: Bandura

People learn by observing and imitating others. Attitudes toward drinking and drugs are likely formed through observational learning

Treatments based on modeling:


Social skills training

drink/drug refusal skills, intrapersonal skills, coping

Treatments based on modeling:


Self-help groups

watching others face life difficulties
