“…A t the same time, there is good reason to assume that delinquents will also rigidly maintain their oppositional interpersonal stance (Cohen, White, & Schoolar, 1971).

“…In addition, since unconventional behavior is also not consistent to the role of a probation officer, the anticipation of guilt is also likely to prevent him from behaving differently.

“…If the group leader assumes an overly nurturant or authoritative role and either negates or overly identifies with the negative feelings being expressed, he will ultimately be cast in the same mold as other administrators. When guided wisely the group process enables the probation officers not only to experience the feelings of the youths in their care, but also gives them the opportunity to learn techniques of establishing meaningful relationships with these youths (Cohen, White, & Schoolar, 1971).…”

This study examined the personality characteristics of juvenile probation officers and drew implications of its findings for the relationship between officers and their delinquent clientele. Twenty‐six male probation officers and seven female probation officers were administered the MMPI and the La Forge and Suczek Interpersonal Check List, two components of the Leary Interpersonal Diagnostic System. Probation officers appeared rigidly conventional, controlling and hyperresponsible while idealizing behavior which is oppositional, and unconventional. This supported the hypothesis that probation officers may unwittingly reinforce delinquent behaviors in relationships with delinquent adolescents to achieve various expression of their unconventional feelings and behaviors. Methods for helping officers gain insight into this process were suggested.

Aims:We investigated the hypothesis, that hashish use among adolescents is strongly related to low levels of satisfaction at home within the family and high gratification from substance usage. Methods:A survey was conducted among 1406 students whose ages ranged from 15 to 22 years old. More specifically, the students all from 16 different Secondary Schools, located on the island of Crete, Greece, were asked to anonymously complete a questionnaire, which referred to their family relations, family size, and substance usage. Hierarchical analysis was used.Results: It was found that in hashish users, there is 2.5 times less family satisfaction (p=0.002), including the absence of both parents from home (p=0.03) and 9 times more substance satisfaction (smoking p=0.001, and consumption of alcohol p=0.026) compared to non users. Conclusions:There is a low family satisfaction and high satisfaction from smoking and alcohol characterizing hashish's users. The present findings may have implications for the prevention and intervention in hashish use by adolescents. Keywords:Hashish use, substance use, family factors, prevention, intervention.# This paper is dedicated to the memory of the deceased late Professor of Biostatistics John Vlachonikolis, for his valuable contribution to the design of this research.

“…Shibuya (1974) concluded that a major motivation for drug use was to enhance or repress feelings and moods, often in preparation for stress. Cohen, White, and Schoolar (1971) concluded that addicts may be experiencing high tension without necessarily being able to provide a cognitive label for it. Pittel (1971) characterized both heroin addicts and psychedelic drug users as lacking impulse control and the "psychological resources" needed to deal adequately with environmental frustrations.…”

Investigated a 2‐week (eight‐session) stress management training program into an ongoing psychotherapy group for 11 hospitalized polydrug‐abusing patients. These patients were compared to a control group of 14 similar patients on the same ward, who were participating in different psychotherapy groups. Results indicated that the stress management treatment group produced significant decreases in trait anxiety on the STAI (p <.005) and TMAS (p <.01). The control group's reduction was not significant, and the difference between the two groups was significant (p <.05). Subjective reports suggested that treatment Ss used the stress management techniques to overcome insomnia associated with withdrawal, to manage anger, and to reduce situational anxiety.
