La comunitat terapèutica i el trastorn dual

The presentation of fourteen years' work with drug addicts in one Threrapeutic Community. It was detected that, along with drug dependency, a psychiatric pathology was also present. The study describes what occurs with residents who suffer this double pathology and attempts to bring us closer to their way of viewing things. The community reproduces a type of "mini-society", although in a given and specific moment in time, as it attempts to help to integrate them to in their subsequent lives. But it has enabled them to enjoy other types of relationship and personal experiences, and has for many provided the real possibility of initiating a change in their lifestyles.
