Overcoming Alcohol Use Problems: Therapist Guide: A cognitive-behavioural treatment program

Elizabeth E. Epstein and Barbara S. McCrady

Abstract

Men and women experience substance abuse problems in different ways, and this treatment program acknowledges the differences between the two, and presents gender-specific options for each step of alcohol abuse treatment. Publication of this manual represents an important new advance in understanding and treating alcohol abuse with cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and uses new research by the authors that include a female-specific study as well as generalized treatment for individuals. This guide outlines the 12-week program session by session, and covers gender-specific topics including assertiveness training, coping with other drinkers in one's social network, recognising anxiety or depression as triggers for alcohol abuse, and anger management.

Keywords: alcohol use disorder, AUD, self-recording, drinking patterns, triggers, social support, assertiveness training, anger management, cognitive-behavioral therapy, CBT
