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 8 1/2" x 11" size.
One of the best books I've ever read on cognitive-behavioral therapy. I thought chapter 4 was particularly instructive on dealing with common counter-transference pitfalls (from a cognitive perspective). Written in plain language and very practical for the working clinician.
