Discuss how the contribution of a person's frame of mind can affect their response to a drug.

Question 2

Jane is a Type A personality, who is not used to relaxing. She also likes to be active and gets bored when there's nothing to do. Which type of progressive relaxation is likely to be least effective for Jane?

Answer to Question 1

A cheerful user may experience greater euphoria from amphetamines or heroin than a gloomy user.
A user's expectations play a role in the drug's effects.
If you believe that alcohol is a sexual stimulant, that is what you may experience; or if you have negative views of LSD, you are more likely to have a bad trip..

Answer to Question 2

Because it is passive in nature, the body scan method is probably not right for Jane. She would likely prefer a more active form of relaxation, like active progressive muscle relaxation or incremental progressive muscle relaxation.
