Abstract

Traditionally these disorders have been treated separately, but there is mounting evidence to suggest that patients are should be treated with an integrated approach. The presentation utilizes clinical examples to reinforce the areas outlined. The presentation will make recommendations regarding effective treatment of both disorders. The presentation will discuss cultural issues emerging from current research. It will conclude with identifying future areas of study.
