JOURNAL WATCH.

This article presents information about several studies that are published in the previous issues of the "Journal of Dual Diagnosis." In the first study, researchers examined the use of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) combined with an antidepressant in outpatients with active injection drug use. This study suggests that patients with active substance use can respond favorably to interventions for depression including CBT. Another study shows that substance use is common in patients with severe psychiatric illness. This trend appears to hold true in Australia as in the United States.
