RESUMO
Attitudes and beliefs towards psychotropic medication were evaluated among psychiatric outpatients, patients receiving buprenorphine treatment for substance abuse, and a group who reported never having used psychotropic medications (non-users). The Drug Attitude Inventory scale and the Beliefs about Medicines Questionnaire General were used to assess attitudes and beliefs of 49 participants. Non-users exhibited more negative attitudes and beliefs toward psychotropic medication than both psychiatric groups.

The relationships among length of sobriety, spirituality, contentment, and stress were examined in a sample of recovering alcoholics attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. Length of sobriety was significantly associated with spirituality but not with contentment or stress. Spirituality and contentment were also positively related. There were significant gender differences in the relationships among spirituality, contentment, and stress level. Spirituality was significantly correlated with lower stress for women but not for men. Men's contentment was significantly related to lower stress levels, but contentment and stress was nonsignificant for women.
