[Characteristics of heterosexual love in alcoholics].

Heterosexual love has many negative impacts on the process of recovery from dependency in a clinical setting; therefore, the present study investigated the characteristics of heterosexual love in alcoholics. Semi-structured interviews were conducted on 23 alcoholics and 14 healthy volunteers in order to ascertain their experiences with heterosexual love, and episodes were compared between the two groups (39 episodes for the alcoholics and 22 episodes for the healthy volunteers). When compared to the healthy volunteers, the length of time from meeting to dating was shorter for the alcoholics, and the measures to deepen relationships were more limited and tended to cause difficulties during the period.

[Examining the causal model of depression: the relation between depressogenic schemata and depression].

This study examines the causal relation between depressogenic schemata and depression. Three structural equation models were tested two times among 149 students during five months: (1) one-way causal relation from depressogenic schemata to depression, (2) one-way causal relation from depression to depressogenic schemata, (3) reciprocal relation between depressogenic schemata and depression. Results showed the third model is the most adequate among three models.
