What You Need to Know: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy as a Path to Recovery for Patients With Substance Use Disorder
Studies show a direct correlation between traumatic experiences and the development of substance abuse disorders (SUD). Some estimating 67-92% of the patients with a SUD reported having experienced at least one traumatic event (according to the DSMIV PTSD criterion A) in their lifetime (Carletto et al., 2018). Trauma is a contributing factor inhibiting the lifelong process of recovery and its long-term goal of abstinence. Without a focus on interventions that address both the SUD and underlying trauma, health care providers may not be providing the best possible evidence-based care and limiting the chance of recovery for p...

Psychological and Behavioral Correlates of Readiness to Stop Smoking
Accruing evidence strongly suggests that the motivation to give up smoking is a crucial predictor of tobacco cessation attempt. However, even motivated people often fail in their attempts and relapse is very common, even if most people who smoke are confident that the desire to quit is enough to change and maintain abstinence. According to this framework, the main objective of the current study was to identify psychological and lifestyle patterns that might characterize people who smoke cigarettes with different motivations to quit. A secondary aim was to compare the characteristics of people who are currently smoking with...
