multidimensional response pattern
In mathematical systems theory, a multidimensional system or m-D system is a system in which not only one independent variable exists (like time), but there are several independent variables.
Important problems such as factorization and stability of m-D systems (m > 1) have recently attracted the interest of many researchers and practitioners. The reason is that the factorization and stability is not a straightforward extension of the factorization and stability of 1-D systems because, for example, the fundamental theorem of algebra does not exist in the ring of m-D (m > 1) polynomials.
In learning about stimulants and depressants, the readings from Inaba & Cohen addressed treatment options such as Methadone and Antabuse.
What are considerations and risk factors associated with treatments such as these? Reske & Paulus presented the return of addiction disease as a “multidimensional response pattern”. How might this pattern influence an individual’s relapse when receiving treatments such as Methadone? As a counselor, how can we educate clients about the biological aspects of their addiction in regards to treating the addiction with drugs such as Methadone? What other treatment options are available to clients seeking a treatment other than antagonist approaches?
