A Nash bargaining model for simple exchange networks

Starting from exogenously given negotiation networks, sociological exchange theories explain bilateral divisions of fixed surpluses (e.g., cake, dollar) as consequences of the partners’ structural embeddedness. In accordance with the available experimental evidence, we focus on simple exchange networks and present a formal model for predicting profit splits from such structures. In contrast to other approaches, we combine the generalized Nash bargaining solution from game theory with the assumption that both relational features and network positions affect exchange outcomes. The resulting point predictions for profit splits correspond closely with experimental results obtained by Cook et al. [Cook, K.S., Emerson, R.M., Gillmore, M.R., Yamagishi, T., 1983. The distribution of power in exchange networks: theory and experimental results. American Journal of Sociology 89, 275–305], Lovaglia et al.

Psychopathology in pathological gamblers seeking treatment

High rates of psychiatric symptoms have been reported in pathological gamblers. This study of psychiatric comorbidity in pathological gamblers is the first to use structured psychiatric interviews assessing DSM-III-R Axis I and II disorders. The Structured Clinical Interview for DSM III-R (SCID-P, SCID-II) was administered to 40 (25 male, 15 male) pathological gamblers seeking outpatient treatment in Minnesota for gambling, and 64 (41 male, 23 female) controls. High lifetime rates of Axis I (92%) but not Axis II (25%) psychopathology were found in pathological gamblers as compared to controls. No differences between male and female gamblers were found in rates of affective, substance use or personality disorders. Females had higher rates of anxiety disorders and histories of physical/sexual abuse. Possible associations between psychiatric disorders and pathological gambling are discussed along with gambler typologies and implications for future research.The authors wish to gratefully acknowledge the assistance of: Gary Christenson, M.D., Carol Peterson, Ph.D., William Meller, M.D., Thomas Mackenzie, M.D.

When alcohol withdrawal has to be treated on an inpatient basis

Contrary to popular belief, alcohol withdrawal does not have to be treated on an inpatient basis. Two cardinal signs — a history of alcohol‐withdrawal delirium or alcohol‐withdrawal seizures — indicate hospitalization. So do certain comorbidities. Most cases can indeed be treated on an outpatient basis, according to two top experts: Lorenzo Leggio, M.D., Ph.D., senior investigator with the joint National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA)‐National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) Section on Clinical Psychoneuroendocrinology and Neuropsychopharmacology, and Mark Willenbring, M.D., founder and CEO of Alltyr in St. Paul, Minnesota and former director of the Division of Treatment and Recovery Research at NIAAA. However, even though it can be treated on an outpatient basis, it often isn't, and there's a good reason for that — better safe than sorry, to sum it up.
