Hi Rowdy,
How are you?
Oh, that sounds interesting, the TC-OF list. So yes please, if you
could send me
the details of that list that would be great! Thank you!
We have the same interpretation about the term 'dual diagnosis'. I also mean a
drug/alcohol addiction in combination with a mental health problem - in
particular psychosis, as the dual diagnosis department at the psychiatric
hospital where I'm working with is 'specialised' in this target group.
Well, I go now.
kind regards,
Pieter
By the way: Thanks for your quick responses!
