1.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™
This webinar provides attendees an opportunity to learn about the latest developments and advances in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for a wide range of diverse addictive disorders and problematic habitual behaviors, including drug and alcohol misuse, problem gambling, online gaming, and binge eating. We distinguish between content (“What is done in CBT”) and process (“How it is done”). For example, we briefly review the CBT model of addictive disorders and standard techniques for facilitating change (i.e., content). And we highlight processes like structure, collaboration, case conceptualization, and psychoeducation. We describe potential rewards and challenges of working with diverse individuals and in various modalities (e.g., individual and group therapy). While this workshop focuses primarily on addictive disorders, participants will certainly learn about CBT content and processes relevant to all clinical work.
