Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy in the Treatment of Addiction cover

Treating individuals with a substance misuse problem can be challenging, especially if clients present with multiple problems related to the main addiction. Clinicians can feel at a loss as to where to begin, or revert to an attempt to treat underlying problems - ignoring damaging aspects of the substance misuse itself. At times referral to specialists may seem the only responsible way forward. Written by a team of clinical academics in the field of addictions, Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy in the Treatment of Addictions is a ready reference for clinicians that offers a brief, evidence-based, collaborative approach that starts here and now. Client and therapist embark together on a journey to tackle the problem in a practical way. The book includes session tools, worksheets and daily thought records.

"This book is likely to be a well-used resource for clinicians to establish individualized CBT treatments for all types of addiction." (Behavioural & Cognitive Psychotherapy, July 2008)

"I cannot praise this book highly enough.  I would think that anyone at whatever level of experience will gain something from the book." (Clinical Psychology Forum)

"A comprehensive manual … It provides clear guidelines and information in relation to addiction and CBT and is both useful and informative." (Journal of Analytical Psychology)
