Endnotes References and Suggested Readings Webpage Resources ! ! Acknowledgements During the past three decades I have been involved in developing and implementing numerous GROUP treatment programs, supervising GROUP therapists and conducting GROUP sessions for clients with substance use disorders and co-occurring psychiatric disorders.

10 I have also been involved in several studies as an investigator, consultant or trainer. I provided training programs to study GROUP therapists, developed adherence scales to evaluate therapists' GROUP interventions effectively and viewed hundreds of videotapes of treatment sessions. I also co-authored treatment manuals delineating GROUP interventions for studies and clinical services. This work has occurred in both short and long-term programs and includes detoxification, rehabilitation, psychiatric hospital, outpatient and specialty settings. My work with GROUP TREATMENTS has exposed me to a diversity of clients with all types and combinations of substance use and psychiatric disorders. My work with GROUP interventions has involved close collaboration with many researchers and clinicians at ADDICTION Medicine Services (AMS) at Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and at the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA).
