J. M. (2008). The Utility of the SASSI-3 in Early Detection of
Substance Use Disorders in Not Guilty By Reason of Insanity
Acquitees, Journal of Addictions and Offender Counseling, 2,
119-127.
Previous studies have shown the
Substance Abuse Subtle Screening Inventory-3 (G. Miller, 1999) to be
valid in classifying substance use disorders in forensic and
mentally ill populations. The authors found that it also correctly
classified substance use disorders in the understudied not guilty by
reason of insanity population.
Horrigan, T.J., & Piazza, N.J. (1999). SASSI minimizes the need for toxicology screening of
prenatal patients. Journal of Substance Abuse Counseling, 17, 243-247.
Multiple authors have reported attempts to effectively address the discovery of
substance abuse in pregnancy using various mechanisms to encourage positive self-reports
and urine toxicology to augment identification. A clinical protocol was developed using
the SASSI and self-report with limited use of urine toxicology for specific patient
subgroups. Alcohol abuse which is missed by toxicology and self-report is detected by the
SASSI.
Horrigan, T.J., Piazza, N.J., & Weinstein, L. (1996). The Substance Abuse Subtle
Screening Inventory is more cost effective and has better selectivity than urine
toxicology for the detection of substance abuse in pregnancy. Journal of Perinatology,
16, 326-330.
OBJECTIVE: To compare the SASSI as a screen for substance abuse in pregnancy with the
patient history and toxicology screening. STUDY DESIGN: On 560 patients the substance
abuse history and urine toxicology was obtained at registration in the prenatal clinic.
Each patient also completed the SASSI questionnaire. The SASSI was compared with each
screen individually and the result of the SASSI and the patient's history were combined
for comparison with the toxicology results. RESULTS: SASSI was found to be more selective
as a screen for substance abuse then urine toxicology and it gave a profile of alcohol use
which was absent on the toxicology screen. CONCLUSIONS: The SASSI is a more effective
clinical tool for identifying substance abuse and more cost effective than toxicology
screening.

Use & Misuse, 31, 215-223.
Recognition is growing that many individuals with mental health disorders also suffer
from substance use disorders. Providers of adolescent mental health services are in need
of prevalence data and instruments that can assist in screening for alcohol and other drug
problems. This study provides data on the concurrent validity of using the Substance
Abuse Subtle Screening Inventory with mental health patients and data on the
prevalence of substance use disorders in a sample of adolescent psychiatric inpatients.

Patients presenting for mental health counseling frequently have co-existing or
secondary substance-related disorders. The high prevalence of these disorders among mental
health patients supports universal screening of patients. The authors describe the types
of screens available, and review the most commonly employed instruments. Screening
instruments are reviewed for their strengths and limitations, and the authors recommend
which screens are best applied in which settings.
Martin, A.L., & Piazza, N.J. (1995). Codependency in women: personality disorder or
popular descriptive term? Journal of Mental Health Counseling, 17, 428-440.
Codependency is a popular construct among counseling professionals and the general
public. Cermak (1986) proposed that codependecy was a distinct personality disorder and
should be included in the American Psychiatric Association's (APA) Diagnostic and
Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). the authors found that codependency is
ont a separate personality disorder in women, but is indicative of women presenting with
combined personality disorders or evidencing situationally adaptive response mechanisms.

A sample of 220 drug and alcohol abusing adult probationers was utilized to investigate
the contribution of group therapy to the successful completion of probation. In measuring
positive and negative behaviors, it was found that drug treatment clients performed
significantly more positive behaviors than drug control clients but there was no
difference in the number of negative behaviors. It was also found that alcohol treatment
clients performed more positive and fewer negative behaviors than alcohol control clients.
Finally, it was found that there was no difference in the number of positive or negative
behaviors between the drug treatment clients and the alcohol treatment clients.
Yeager, R.D., Piazza, N.J., & Yates, J.W. (1992). Testing the progressive nature of
alcoholism. International Journal of the Addictions, 27, 947-959.
The authors employed a new data collection methodology to assess Jellinek's progressive
model of alcoholism. Data were collected to explore whether (a) symptoms occurred in four
distinct phases, one phase following another, as described by Jellinek's model; (b) the
phase markers and the phases of the symptom progression follow one another as predicted in
the Jellinek model; and (c) the sequence of each of the 46 individual symptoms as
described by a serial interpretation of Jellinek's model. The authors also compared male
participants with female participants on the conditions described above.

women alcoholics. International Journal of the Addictions, 24, 19-28.
The accelerated progression of alcoholism, or telescoping, was examined among
women alcoholics. Three aspects of telescoping in women were examined: the age of onset of
four landmark symptoms, the number of years between landmark symptoms, and the number of
symptoms occurring within each interval between landmarks. Women alcoholics were found to
report a significantly shorter interval between the age at which they first began
experiencing alcohol-related problems and the time they sought treatment than did male
alcoholics.
Piazza, N.J., & Wise, S.L. (1988). An order-theoretic analysis of Jellinek’s
disease model of alcoholism. International Journal of the Addictions, 23, 387-397.
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the progressive nature of
alcoholism by applying an order-theoretic analysis to a model of alcoholism originally
introduced by Jellinek. Ordering theory is specifically designed to investigate
hierarchies and developmental progressions, and was judged by the authors to be ideally
suited to testing Jellinek's symptom hierarchy of alcoholism. Ordering theory was used to
determine if there were any prerequisite relations among any pairs of symptoms in
Jellinek's model. The authors were able to find evidence of a progressive symptom
hierarchy, but this hierarchy was comprised only of a subset of symptoms found in the
Jellinek model. The authors concluded that the present study supported the concept of
alcoholism as a progressive disorder, but that the progression was not the same as that
described by Jellinek.

symptoms in women alcoholics: Comparison of Jellinek’s model with two groups. Psychological
Reports, 56, 367-370.
In 1952 Jellinek presented a model for the symptom progression of alcoholism in men.
Neither Jellinek nor subsequent investigation into his model made any attempts to extend
his progression to women alcoholics. James, in 1975, studied this association, but the
report of her results was descriptive and not statistical. The current study compared
Jellinek's model with the progression reported by James and with a progression reported by
a sample obtained by the authors. The authors did not obtain a significant correlation
between the data of Jellinek and James but did for Jellinek and the authors' sample and
between the authors' sample and James's.

Journal of the Addictions, 21, 915-922.
Data comparing the symptom progressions reported by a group of 115 male alcoholics and
41 female alcoholics were correlated with the symptom progression described by Jellinek in
1952. Correlations were obtained for the phase marker symptoms, the phase markers and
their phases, and for the overall progression. Results did not support Jellinek's model
for the phase markers as reported by the men and by the entire group. Women, however, were
shown to correlate perfectly with the phase markers as described by Jellinek. Significant
correlations were obtained for the phase markers and their phases, and for the overall
progression. Even though the correlations were significant, their values were not very
great and this was taken as an indication of only modest support for Jellinek's symptom
progression.

Ritchie, M., Piazza, N.J., & Lewton, J. (1991). Current use of the
DSM–III–R in counselor education. Counselor Education and Supervision, 30, 205-211.
A survey of 146 counselor education programs revealed that 79% claimed to provide
instruction in the DSM-III-R with 18% of programs offering a separate course, 58% teaching
it as part of other courses, while the rest of the programs reported it was taught by
another department. The DSM-III-R was usually covered under the course titles of Diagnosis
and Treatment Planning, Psychopathology, or Abnormal Psychology when taught as a separate
course, and was covered in Practicum, Internship, or Assessment when taught as part of
another course. Diagnosis and Treatment Planning (Seligman, 1986) was the most popular
text. Proficiency in the use of the DSM-III-R was recommended or required in 58% of school
counseling programs, 89% of community counseling programs, 91% of mental health counseling
programs, and 95% of doctoral programs. Significantly more counselor education programs
accredited either by CACREP or APA taught use of the DSM-III-R than non-accredited
programs.

The decision whether to join a union presents counselors with an ethical dilemma. The
authors discuss four issues central to counselor unionization. These issues are (a)
whether unionization threatens the professionalism of counseling, (b) is client care
adversely affected by unionization, (c) is the counselor-supervisor relationship adversely
affected, and (d) do union methods violate counselors' professional obligations to their
employers.

substance abuse treatment facilities: a case in applied ethics. Journal of Mental
Health Counseling, 12, 120-128.
Both clients and Mental Health Counselors anticipate that information collected during
the course of counseling will be kept confidential. This expectation is so vital to the
practice of counseling that it has been codified in professional ethical standards, and
unauthorized disclosures of client information have resulted in lawsuits. To protect the
interests of the client, the Mental Health Counselor, and the profession, it is incumbent
that counselors understand which communications constitute disclosure and which do not.
Futhermore, it is essential that counselors know which disclosures require the prior
authorization or consent of the client and which do not. A review of federal regulations
and ethical guidelines as they apply to the release of confidential client information is
presented.

Counseling and Development, 68, 313-316.
Although the need to keep client records is clear, there is little information

The Purpose-in-Life (PIL) was administered to a group of 118 elderly persons from three
senior citizen centers. Data were obtained on religious denomination. Results suggested
that whether a person was Protestant or Catholic had no significant effect on PIL scores,
with mean scores almost identical. What seemed to be important was how meaninful
spirituality was to the person. Those who scored high on an index of spirituality also
scored high on the PIL.
