Grounded in decades of CBT research and clinical practice, as well as cutting-edge cognitive science, this entirely new book replaces the classic Cognitive Therapy of Substance Abuse. Bruce S. Liese and Aaron T. Beck provide critical tools for understanding and treating the full range of addictive behaviors. They explain how to systematically develop case conceptualizations and support clients in achieving their recovery goals. Vivid case examples are used to illustrate CBT techniques, structure, psychoeducation, motivational interviewing, group treatment, relapse prevention, and other effective therapeutic components. Several reproducible forms can be downloaded and printed in a convenient 8½“x 11” size.
"This is a useful tool for treatment professionals. Case reports and interventions will help clinicians make a real difference in the lives of their patients. This book is necessary for anyone who wants to utilize CBT effectively."
-- Charla Waxman, BS, MBA, EdD (Lake Behavioral Hospital) Doody's Review
