With Foreword by Joseph Eliezer
In "Reflections of Dual Diagnosis: A Canadian Perspective", the follow-up to his 2011 book, "Faces of Dual Diagnosis", Dr. Robert Pereira reflects on his own life path, discusses treatment approaches and offers case studies.

An estimated 90,000 Canadians are affected by both mental health problems and addictions - a condition referred to as "dual diagnosis" or DD. Although the impacts on society are considerable - on our health system's resources; on our legal and social welfare programs; on employers, friends, neighbours and family; and on the individual him or herself - remarkably little has been written about this widespread problem in the popular media. There is also inadequate awareness and training within the health, legal and social welfare systems.

The author, Robert B. Pereira, MD, has a diploma in Addiction Medicine from the American Board of Addiction Medicine, and is accredited by the Canadian Society of Addiction Medicine. Dr. Pereira practices medicine in Surrey and downtown Vancouver, specializing in the treatment of DD clients.
