Dr. Rahill has two journal articles published
Dr. Guitele Rahill, Social Work, recently published two articles in the Journal of Social Work Practice in the Addictions, Vol. 9, Issue 3. Her article, "What is Relapse? A Contemporary Exploration of Treatment of Alcoholism," was co-authored with Dr. Elsa Pinto Lopez, University of Puerto Rico, Anna Vanderbiest, social worker, and Dr. Christopher Rice, Florida International University. The article's premise is that notstandardized definitions for treatment outcomes (coupled with treatment from multiple service providers), can obscure treatment success. The article further indicates that standardizing treatment success might require inclusions of multiple domains of life function in defining relapse. Dr. Rahill also wrote, in the same issue of the journal, "The Practice and Use of Lay Injectionists among Marginalized Immigrants in the United States: A Call for Research." This article was also co-authored with Dr. Elsa Pinto Lopez.

Dr. Laymon’s appearance is sponsored by the Heritage Studies PhD program. Admission is free, and the public is invited. Laymon’s “Pfeiffer Country” was published by the Butler Center for Arkansas Studies and distributed by the University of Arkansas Press. Sherry Laymon, an independent scholar and author, earned her doctoral degree in Heritage Studies in 2005.
