Main description:

Grounded in decades of CBT research and clinical practice, as well as cutting-edge cognitive science, this book provides critical tools for understanding and treating the full range of addictive behaviors. Bruce S. Liese and Aaron T. Beck explain how to systematically develop case conceptualizations and support clients in achieving their recovery goals. The authors use vivid case examples 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. Reflecting nearly 30 years of important advances in the field, this entirely new book replaces the authors' classic Cognitive Therapy of Substance Abuse.
