Statutory interpretation is a core skill in the legal profession. At a basic level, it seems quite simple: statutory interpretation represents the art (or perhaps science) of reading legislation correctly. Unfortunately, beneath this simple description lies a much more complicated process. You see, words are almost always ambiguous. Words combined into sentences become more ambiguous. How many times in your daily life have you said something that you considered to be perfectly plain and simple, only to have others in the conversation completely misinterpret your meaning?
This chapter contains the primary report of findings from the comparison of the Community Reinforcement (CRA) and traditional approaches. Study participants completed a comprehensive assessment at intake that included measurement of numerous demographic characteristics, motivation for change, psychological functioning, drinking history, and current drinking practices. The taking and monitoring of disulfiram were important distinguishing aspects of the treatment groups. The a priori treatment contrasts were made at proximal and distal follow-up points using three primary dependent measures. The three outcome measures were total standard drinks consumed during the assessment period, number of drinking days per week, and estimated peak blood alcohol concentration (BAC) for the assessment period. Traditional and CRA groups also had similar outcomes among the disulfiram-ineligible clients. The chapter concludes with a confessional litany of some errors the authors made along the way, in the hope of saving colleagues from similar pitfalls.
