Description
Book SynopsisGrounded 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 8 1/2 x 11 size.
Trade Review"One of the most significant clinical paradigm shifts in the treatment of addictive disorders in the past 50 years has been the birth and growth of CBT, which has enabled clinicians worldwide to help patients more effectively. Beck and Liese have done a superb job of describing the theory, scientific foundations, and applications of CBT for addictive disorders, while simultaneously demonstrating how their approach fits into the larger continuum of care. The authors highlight the need to address stigma and discrimination and recognize the shifting legal and sociopolitical contexts of substance use and nonchemical addictions. Whether students, clinical novices, or seasoned professionals, readers will find their own thinking and behavior changed as they become empowered to provide more efficient, effective treatment."--John F. Kelly, PhD, ABPP, Elizabeth R.
