Any arrests outside of the state would not be included as the date of failure. An additional limitation of the study is that it is possible that the relationship between drug treatment and reduced recidivism is due to unmeasured and unknown variables predicting both. The final limitation is that the research does not differentiate between in-program recidivism and post-program recidivism. Be able to differentiate between the two is necessary because of the probability that subjects behave differently when being directly supervised by the court. Despite the limitations found in the BCDTC, the findings of the research proved that subjects who participated in the DTC were less likely to be rearrested than the control group.
In the article by Garrett, Baillie, McGeehan, and Garrett (2010), the health care professional’s obligation is to “provide the health care information and leadership to ensure that this distribution is accomplished in ways that allow the goals of health care to be achieved” (p. 71).

If the health care professional would have provided Ms. Selbstmord of all of the options for treatment and their consequences, it would become Ms. Selbstmord’s responsibility if whether or not her condition improved or worsened.
Supposedly, the switch was to create operational diagnostic criteria’s, which is seen as more consistent than ones based on clinicians descriptions. The shift in the DSM paradigm was not based on scientific information or the recognition of disorders by their biological causes. It was due in part to politics and discord in the psychiatric field the government’s involvement with research and policy making in mental health. Insurance companies demanding proof of diagnosis and that treatment are necessary and pharmaceutical companies needing an avenue to push their products. The DSM has been unreliable in helping clinicians consistently diagnose patients, 2e children remain victims of the diagnostic system which can lead to misdiagnosis thereby children are prescribed dangerous
She became increasingly involved and interested in psychiatric issues when serving in the United States Army and working at the 312th Station Hospital and School for Military Neuropsychiatry for the European Theatre, during World War II. The patients would arrive with what we know today, as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) (Silverstein, 2008). Peplau witnessed various experimental treatments these soldiers recieved, “...with horror.” (Silverstein, 2008, p. 725). She felt that some of these treatments, like insulin shock therapy and ether treatments just worsened their conditions both mentally and physically, often with permanent consequences. Despite their mental state, she felt it was important to try to talk
Their work ranged from civilian work to serving in the war, but not in the fighting areas. Here are a few different areas of work that they could choose from: NCC (Non-Combat Corps) This was a group in the army that some conscientious objectors served in, they did not fight, nor did they kill anyone. Some conscientious objectors, however, still felt that this was not something they wanted to do because it had ties with the war.
