Abstract
The considerable overlap between psychiatric and substance use disorders has been well-documented (Dorus and Senay, 1980; Hasin, Endicott, and Lewis, 1985; Salloum, Moss, and Daley, 1991), and discussed in this book in the sections by Drs. Zimberg and First. The mental health profession is becoming increasingly cognizant of this overlap, but nonetheless studies show that to a disturbing degree, diagnoses of coexisting disorders are missed in both psychiatric and drug treatment settings. For example, a study conducted in a major Los Angeles hospital (Ananth, Vandewater, Kamal, Brodsky, Gamal, and Miller, 1989) found that among patients presenting with psychiatric disorders in the emergency room, only 4 of 187 cases of concurrent substance abuse or substance dependence disorders were identified. Furthermore, in the subsequent inpatient treatment of those patients, only 29 of the 187 cases were identified.
