The Infinite Mind/LCMedia Online Store : CDs/Transcripts of award-winning public radio show : Double Jeopardy: Mental Illness & Addiction
Mental illness and addiction: for 10 million Americans these debilitating disorders, hard enough to cope with on their own, are a deadly team. Sharing their first hand experiences with dual diagnoses are Robert, a client at New York's innovative Institution for Community Living, and writer Emily Carter. Former deputy drug czar Dr. Herbert Kleber and Jean Henry, clinical director of Journey House, in Louisville, Kentucky discuss challenges in diagnosis and treatment. Dr. Alvin F. Poussaint recalls the loss of his schizophrenic older brother to drug related suicide, and the mental health crisis among African-Americans. And Dr. H. Westley Clark, Director of the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment, at the Office of Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services, outlines SAMSHA's strategies to further the mental health field's effectiveness in this field, and answers calls from concerned family members of those living with the double jeopardy of addiction and psychiatric illness.
