i Copyright Status This manual was constructed, with permission, from several pre-existing manuals that included medical management as part of their interventions. These manuals are cited below. The Medical Management Subgroup (authors), with the assistance of Kelly Tobin Murray (University of North Carolina, COMBINE Coordinating Center), rewrote and edited sections to provide a focused, cohe­ sive set of guidelines for medical practitioners to follow in delivering Medical Management (MM) treatment. We also acknowledge the individual contributions of Amy Schuhl and Carla Nappi (University of Pennsylvania); and Judith Arroyo, Ph.D. (University of New Mexico). We especial­ ly credit the MM clinicians from the COMBINE study, who generously provided the authors with feedback on all aspects of the MM treatment and use of the manual. We received permission from the authors of the following manuals to use their materials in the construction of the Medical Management treatment manual.
