These assessments were provided randomly and a needed response format was utilized (2004). The researchers did place restrictions on the study due to the selected participant pool. The dispositions of the participants were noted of psychiatric history, mobility, response to treatment, potential for relapse, motivation to change, and potential legal issues (2004). Lin et al. utilized multiple methods to collect data from the participants.

The trial started by testing patients by giving some of them omega-3 fatty acids and some of them a placebo. The patients did not know which one they were getting. They even masked the placebo with a fishy taste so they would not be able to tell which one they were getting.

The author insists that individuals with a dual diagnosis are a heterogeneous group”. Each individual has a different diagnosis. This includes “psychiatric disorder, level of functioning, social support and capacity for independent living” (___________) therefore, there is no one treatment that is suitable for all clients with a dual diagnosis. The authors highlight how dual diagnosis relating to people with psychiatric illness and substance abuse has “been researched internationally” and models have been developed in order to treat the diagnosis. The USA has researched extensively into how dual diagnosis can be facilitated for.
Individual substance abuse clients have benefitted from the forgiveness therapy, the research shows. The information presented throughout the paper flowed with ease and was very easy to follow along with, therefore, it was not needed to have subheadings; the researchers were sure to use common known terms and not rely heavily upon acronyms and other field specific jargon.

But we do not learn much about why she received this diagnosis. Furthermore, she does not mention that the Diagnostic Manual in use at the time of her entry into hospital was DSM-I, published in 1952. What was going wrong with her
Gorski believes that the duration of, and severity of relapse can be limited. In other words it can be stopped quickly with the preparation of three plans: 1) the client plan, 2) the therapist plan, and 3) a significant other plan (Gorski and Kelley, 2007). Gorski's relapse prevention approach has no scientific or research basis and is based on his work as a chemical dependency counselor for several years. It consists of Gorski's personal observations of the recovery process among patients he has known. In essence, it is a restatement of the traditional 12-Step (AA) approach to treatment aided by structured written exercises.
