This course will examine the scientific basis of addiction, mental health and related comorbidities. Issues to be discussed include; comparative epidemiology, national mental health and drug and alcohol policy, integrated systems for evidence based interventions and the need for a holistic philosophy of practice. The first part of the course provides the background by giving an overview of comorbidity. We examine the concepts and theories underpinning the coexistence of addiction, mental illness and other coexisting disorders in an individual and present them in worldwide and local contexts. The second part of the course deals with comorbidity in the areas of Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander and migrant cultures, adolescence, pregnancy and childbirth, forensics, defence forces and other specialised areas. We examine best practice for service providers and practitioners to provide effective therapeutic interventions and coordinated approaches. |
