We explored the experiences of social work students with psychiatric difficulties and focused on their challenges as they went through the different stages of development as health care professionals. We interviewed 12 social work students with psychiatric difficulties and analyzed the data using the immersion/crystallization method. The findings reveal the developmental process they underwent from being patients to being "therapatients" (therapists who are also patients; here, therapists coping with psychiatric difficulties). This process included four stages: an initial exploration of the health care world; questioning the possibility of a patient being a therapist and feeling incompetent; identifying their ability to be professionals; and integrating between their patient and therapist parts to become a therapatient. Understanding this process and finding ways to help students through it is crucial to allowing the patient and therapist parts to "live" together and enrich each other, and to allowing integration of professional knowledge and personal experience.

This paper examines the use of an unsupervised statistical model for determining the attachment of ambiguous coordinate phrases (CP) of the form nl p n2 cc n3. The model presented here is based on JAR98], an unsupervised model for determining prepositional phrase attachment. After training on unannotated 1988 Wall Street Journal text, the model performs at 72% accuracy on a development set from sections 14 through 19 of the WSJ TreeBank [MSM93]. 1 Introduction The coordinate phrase (CP) is a source of structural ambiguity in natural language. For example, take the phrase: box of chocolates and roses 'Roses' attaches either high to 'box' or low to 'chocolates'. In this case, attachment is high, yielding: H-attach: ((box (of chocolates)) (and roses)) Consider, then, the phrase: salad of lettuce and tomatoes 'Lettuce' attaches low to 'tomatoes', giving: L-attach: (salad (of ((lettuce) and (tomatoes)))
