Résumé : |
ENGLISH : The following paper is the result of a retrospective study of clinical case files of legal professionals treated for substance-related and co-occurring psychiatric disorders at a recovery center specializing in the care of impaired professionals. Attorneys traditionally differ from healthcare professionals in two important ways : first, they prematurely leave treatment in greater numbers, and second, they suffer a higher incidence of co-occurring psychiatric disorders. Sixty percent of the attorneys presented with concurrent psychiatric conditions (Axis I and Axis II), compared to 46% of their healthcare colleagues. More than half of the lawyers treated had a prior history of criminal arrest. Sixty-four percent completed treatment compared to an 86% completion rate for medical professionals. The completion rate for lawyers improved significantly following institution of a dedicated impaired attorneys' program under the direction of an attorney/clinician in October of 1999. Prospective studies are needed to determine if attorneys are at greater risk of developing substance related andlor psychiatric disorders than are other professionals of similar demographic backgrounds and what specialized intervention, treatment, and case management services might be necessary to assure equivalent outcomes.
