Findings to practitioners in the field of Behavioral Health an issue of concern . Its an issue of concern because, generally speaking, as researchers, weve had a tendency to do this in a oneway street, so that we come into a treatmentwe either design an intervention or we come into a Treatment Organization as experts. We tell them what were going to do or what they should be doing without really consulting with them in terms of what they need, just like what tom said. It really has to be a twoway street. And so, i think what has happened so far, many times, is theresits really two different specialties, if you will, and what the researcher is doing is really not that relevant to whats going on in the field for a variety of reasons. A lot of the clinical trials, for example, have very exclusive criteria, so that the majority of people that a Treatment Agency would see are not included. Thats the first thing. And also, a lot of these studies that produce the evidencebased are done in a s

Practice of law as all consuming while losing sight of everything else. But that makes for a shallow and unfulfilling life. I worked hard as a lawyer and professor. I owe that to my clients, my students and myself. I never let the law define my identity or crowd out the rest of my life. Similar principle applies to the role of courts. Court have a vital responsibility to the rule of law, which is critical to a free society. But courts are not designed to solve every problem or right every wrong in the public life. The policy decisions and the value judgments of government must be made by the political branches. Elected by and accountable to the people. The public should not expect courts to do so and courts should not try. That is the approach i strived to follow as a judge on the seventh circuit. In every case, i have carefully considered the arguments presented by the parties, discussed the issues with my colleagues on the court, and done my utmost to reach the result required by the
This one. This one. There was kind of some argument about, well, which came first . We need to address the Substance Abuse issue before we can make headway on the Mental Health issue. On the flip side, the Mental Health practitioners would say, no, we need to address the depression or what have you before we can really make headway on the Substance Use. And i think what people are really beginning to understand, especially in the last decade, that they have to be treated at the same time and not just treated at the same time in parallel, but treated at the same time in a very integrated fashion. If you google dual disorder, you will see hypertension and diabetes, but you never hear problems in treating those two disorders. I think the reason is doctors, nurses, pharmacists are educated in both, and, very importantly, the money comes out of the same pot. So, so often theres a separate pot for Mental Health money and Substance Abuse money, and it has produced an unnecessary, really divis
