DescriptionNow in a revised and expanded second edition, this book presents a straightforward, multi-session coping skills training program that has been proven effective in helping alcohol-dependent individuals. Reviews'The alcohol treatment landscape has changed dramatically since the first edition of this influential resource for practitioners. As demonstrated in this timely second edition, the coping skills training approach described here is not only well supported by evidence from clinical trials, but also nicely matches the contingencies of managed care. A relatively brief therapy, it is optimally offered in groups and is entirely compatible with outpatient treatment. The interpersonal life skills are also likely to be useful well beyond coping with addictions, making this an attractive method for working with clients with multiple problems.' - William R. Miller, PhD, Department of Psychology, The University of New Mexico Table of contentsIntroduction - theoretical rationale, and evidence base. General treatment considerations - setting the stage and treatment setting; coping skills training. Part I Interpersonal skills: coping skills training. Part II Intrapersonal skills: cue exposure treatment with urge coping training; dual diagnosis issues. |
