APPLICATION OF THEORETICAL MODEL TO TWO GROUPS OF PAROLEES WITH HISTORIES OF NARCOTIC ADDICTION, AND A STRATEGY FOR EVALUATING ADDICT TREATMENT APPROACHES.

Abstract

BY THE USE OF FOLLOW-UP STUDIES OF ADDICT PAROLEES IN NEW YORK AND CALIFORNIA, THE AUTHOR DERIVED THE CONFIGURATION OF VARIABLES MOST RELATED TO A SUCCESSFUL PAROLE OUTCOME. THIS PAROLE PREDICTION MODEL SUGGESTS A METHOD FOR THE IDENTIFICATION OF THE TREATMENT APPROACH MOST EFFECTIVE FOR SPECIFIC TYPES OF ADDICTS.
