“…Some patients come to therapy with unrealistic or inappropriate expectations regarding what the program will accomplish. Left unaddressed, such expectations may lead to treatment failure (Cautela & Upper, 1975;Martin & Worthington, 1982;Russell, 1986). For example, a 75-year-old patient should probably not expect that he or she will be able to sleep through the night without interruption.…”

“…Four psychological instruments were included in the routine psychological test battery: (1) Self-Rating Behavioral Scale (SRBS; Cautela & Upper, 1975); (2) Behavioral Analysis History Questionnaire (BAHQ; Cautela & Upper, 1976); (3) Shipley Institute of Living Scale (Shipley, 1940); and, (4) Incomplete Sentences Blank (ISB; Rotter, 1950). These instruments were chosen for their ability to provide a psychological assessment that could be performed efficiently with virtually all prospective clients on or about the time of their intake consultation interview at the Clinic.…”

This investigation examined a large number of self‐reported symptoms of psychopathology. Its specific purpose was to assess their relationship to alcohol abuse as a self‐indicated problem behavior. Participants in the study were 72 adults of both sexes who sought mental health services at a Veterans Administration outpatient Mental Hygiene Clinic. The self‐reporting instrument was a behavioral problem checklist that was administered as part of a routine psychological test battery given at the time of each client's intake assessment at the Clinic. A correlational analysis of these data revealed that several broad areas of psychopathology were related significantly to alcohol abuse: Social/interpersonal skill deficits, anxiety, addiction proneness, impulse dyscontrol, and self‐destructive ideation. These findings support a social learning theory of alcohol abuse. The results also imply that future treatment approaches to excessive drinking should include social skill and relaxation training as well as attention to traditional clinical concerns with self‐destructive thinking and impulse control.

“…Hawkins (1979) describes several of these purposes: classification of individuals for administrative record keeping, program evaluation, and the collection of normative data. Hawkins (1979) notes several idiosyncratic classification systems developed by behavioral assessors (e.g., Cautela and Upper, 1975). Alternatively, perhaps the improved reliability of DSM-III (American Psychiatric Association, 1978) will make it suitable for administrative and classificatory purposes, with an adjunct functional analysis performed by behavior assessors for intervention purposes.…”
