Substance Abuse: Anger Management, a Neglected Topic in Substance Abuse Intervention
A long standing issue
Problems managing anger has always been a concern for patients suffering from addictive disorders. Pioneering research by my mentor, Dr. Sidney Cohen at the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute demonstrated the relationship between, anger, violence and the use of alcohol and or cocaine. One of the most popular articles written by Dr. Cohen, was entitled, “Alcohol, the most dangerous drug known to man”. In this and other publications, Dr. Cohen systematically demonstrated the causal relationship between cocaine and alcohol abuse and aggression. Much of this research was done in the 70s and 80s.
Substance Abuse Treatment: Domestic Violence and Substance Abuse Treatment
Every 15 seconds a woman is subjected to domestic violence in the United States. Domestic violence can be defined as a pattern of abusive behavior that is used to gain or maintain power and control in an intimate relationship, such as marriage, dating, family, friendship or living together. Anyone can be a victim or perpetrator of domestic violence.
Keeping this in mind, we will be focusing on male batterers and female survivors of domestic violence since this is the “typical” scenario and will be seen most often in treatment facilities. We will discuss substance abuse in both the batterer and the survivor.
Substance Abuse?
Question by PipU2: Substance Abuse?
I was wondering if anyone feels like I do on this subject. The WWE is going through enough problems with substance abuse, does anyone think its a dumb idea to have Sandman on set drunk, chugging beers on T.V. with all the problems going on
Ya’ll are comparing everything to the Wife beater Austin and alleged steroid user Austin remember Austin hasn’t been there since all of this has happened anyone that couldn’t look at that guy last night and tell he was drunk has some issues. And isn’t gimmicks what has gotten WWE in trouble all this coming from a guy who wanted to use his grandchild’s child birth as a sick way of saying he was the father of the baby all for gimmick and ratings lol now IM beginning to understand why people outside of wrestling make fun of wrestling fans. You will watch anything
