The question addressed was whether the treatment, together with long-term abstinence from alcohol, could reduce aggression and hostility in recovered alcoholics. Sixty four male stable alcoholics with at least 3 years sobriety were compared with 69 non-alcoholics. Neither group had any other psychological problems.Both groups were given a questionnaire on general characteristics as well as aggressive and hostility traits.After a 3-year abstinence, men from the recovering alcoholics group displayed greater signs of hostility and covert aggression.  They were different from non-alcoholics on measures for indirect aggression, irritability, negativism, suspicion, resentment, and guilt....

He always gets publicly criticized for his mistakes. But according to research by Kansas State University psychologists, neither of these workers is likely to leave the job. Meridith Selden, a K-State doctoral graduate in psychology, and her adviser, Ron Downey, K-State professor of psychology, studied workplace hostility. They found that among workers reporting hostility in the current position, almost half — 45 percent of them — had no definite plans to leave their current job. In addition, 59 percent indicated that they either liked or did not dislike their current job. And this research took place well before the economic downturn. “They might like the job, just not certain elements of ...

Not just of the body, but of the brain too. For example, certain foodstuffs (e.g. the artificial sweetener aspartame) can have toxic effects on the brain. Other foodstuffs appear to ‘feed the brain’ and help optimise its function. For example, so-called omega-3 [...] (Source: Dr John Biffa's Blog) Dr John Biffa's Blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3468061 Wed, 14 Apr 2010 16:39:49 +0100 3468061 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3197897&cid=t_136471_151_f&fid=35818&url=http%3A%2F%2Frecoveryissexy.com%2Faggression-and-hostility-in-recovered-alcoholics%2F This study was designed to examine aggression in a group of socially well-adapted recovered alcoholics.

Anxiety increases your heart attack risk by 30-40%… but don’t worry over it! Oh boy. The role of anxiety in hiking heart attack risk also goes beyond the effects of depression, anger, hostility, Type A behavior and other negative emotions. “These psychological factors are important in predicting the risk of heart disease, but anxiety is unique,” Dr. Shen said. “Older men with sustained and pervasive anxiety appear to be at increased risk for a heart attack even after their levels of depression, anger, hostility and Type A behavior are considered.” And obviously the silver lining… anxiety is treatable. As more research like this takes place I believe that therapy, behavior modifications and anti anxiety drugs will becom...
