abstract="Self-proclaimed U.S. &quot;Conservatives&quot; have become much more forceful in attacking all government social support programs, including cost-reducing sentencing diversion programs, as failing to unambiguously reduce conveniently assigned behavioral parameters or other behavior assumed to be causally related. Public anxiety and continuing need to feel &quot;something is being done&quot; is thus manipulated to divert anger away from the elected officials' understandable inability to solve complex, multifactorial problems. Several cases will illustrate how court-mandated attendance in Alcohol and Drug programs might better identify and respond to the frequent concerns by this population, about sexual dysfunction and/or high or high risk behaviors, hopefully promoting client/patient involvement in the process of treatment and potential change.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
