  • Title: Maturity fears during recovery from cocaine dependency.
    Author: Cavaiola AA, Arillo ML.
    Journal: Psychol Rep; 1999 Apr; 84(2):409-12. PubMed ID: 10335056.
    Abstract:
    The present study explored the incidence of maturation fears among 22 cocaine-dependent individuals who were at various levels of recovery ranging from 3 mo. to 4 yr. From clinical observation and prior research it is known that cocaine dependency commonly produces feelings of empowerment and confidence and thus, it was predicted that cocaine-dependent individuals would report more extreme maturation fears, measured by the Maturity Fears subscale of the Eating Disorders Inventory. The findings indicated that the cocaine-dependent group had significantly higher scores than a group of individuals not dependent on cocaine.
