Asociación entre el esquema cognoscitivo y las reacciones conductuales en consumidores de substancias psicoactivas.
A relationship between cognitive schema and behavioral reaction was studied in consumers and non-consumers of psychoactive substances. To reach this objective, reclassified items of Millón Clinical Multiaxial Inventory - II (MCMI-I1) were applied to a sample 40 polyaddicts and 44 non-consumers. Participants were at least 18 years old, men and women, and residents in Santa Fe de Bogotá. The results revealed significant relationships between misuse and behavioral reactions. Both dysfunctions were also significant more frequently in consumers than in non-consumers (p < 0.001) Results also revealed that there is less probability of error when misuse is predicted from cognitive schema and from behavioral reactions than the opposite way.

Estudio clínico controlado, comparación y réplica de una intervención para abusadores de narcóticos en Delhi, India.
The behaviour which is established in an extreme way, under the control of external agents, can be treated through behavioural-cognitive therapeutic procedures (Rotter. 1954: Ellis, 1962; Bandura, 1969; Kanfer, 1971: Mahoney, 1974: Kanfer and Grintm, 1980: Di Clemente & Prochaska, 1985, among others),being advisable,in some cases, its combination with pharmacotherapeutic coadjuvants (Dorabjee, J., Samson, L., Kaplan, Ch.D., & Wodak, A., 1994).The principle demostrated by the first authors, is mainly applicable to the treatment for abuse of inhaled, for oral use, and injecting drugs, and the effectiveness of its combination with pharmacotherapeutic technics exclusively, for injecting drug users (IDUs or EsDI in Spanish language), pretends to be demostrated in this present study.The addiction to psychoactive substances can be proposed as a model of conduct which is not only determined by stimulus from the environment,but that is also subjected to the individuals own control. Self-reflection and self determination are qualities of the individual's that can play an important role in the procedures of the behaviour therapy. In this context, the therapeutic concept of behavioural self-control has an important meaning (Eeldhegc, 1977; Eeldhege. 1980). Self-control, self-help, self-regulation,and self-control therapy directed towards clients addicted to drugs, serve for achieving the objective of regulating the drug ingesting behaviour, in such a way that the frecuency and intensity of the problematic behaviour may significantly diminish. The study’s is being applied. It will take advantage of an unpublished model of controlled study that combines three different procedures of self-control in order to treat those who abuse of psychoactive substances (SPAs),and of the reply of a substitutive pharmacotherapeutic procedure for UsDI They are: a) technics that are based on different sections of the model of work proposed by Kanfer in 1971 (self-observation, self-commitment, self-evaluation, selfreinforcement and self-punishment): b) procedures of covcrant conditionings) methods belonging to the cognitive therapy, conceived on Mahoney's sense; Ulrich & Ulrich’s social training (1973); and d) the substitutive therapy procedure for those who abuse of narcotics, by using Dorabjee, Samson, Kaplan & Wodak’s 1994 study (see Appendix A).

Línea de investigación en psicofarmacología de la cocaína y el etanol en ratas y ratones.
I present a brief summary of the research, about two drugs of great abuse in Colombia: Cocaine and alcohol, carried out at Universidad Católica de Colombia's laboratory of experimental psychology. By means of animal model, we have evaluated the effects of different doses of cocaine and alcohol (0.1,1.0,10 y 20,mg/kg) on several parameters of aggressive, emotional, and social behavior in adult female and male rats and mice, as in sons of addicted mothers along gestation time. Moreover we have assessed the effects of acute administration (one injection), chronic administration (ten to twelve consecutive injections), withdrawal syndrome with the same parameters, and long term persistence of pharmacological effects. The results of the research are presented, as well as the titles of investigations recently started .
