Workshop#1 A Community Support Group Intervention for Substance Users
Presented by Michael Kidorf, PhD, clinical psychologist and Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. His work includes the development and evaluation of the Community Support Group Intervention, a clinical strategy designed specifically to activate and expand drug-free social support and reduce drug use. The Community Support Group Intervention (CSI) is a practical and structured approach for helping substance users activate drug-free social support and expand their recovery-oriented social network.
Workshop participants will learn how to:
§ Identify and activate drug-free people in existing social networks
§ Incorporate CSI within most community-based treatment settings, structure weekly group sessions and assign recovery activities
§ Establish a therapeutic milieu that supports the intervention, identify and successfully manage common problems
Workshop #2 Manualized Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy Group for Diverse Addictive Behaviors
Presented by Bruce Liese, PhD, Professor of Family Medicine and Psychiatry at the University of Kansas Medical Center and Courtesy Professor of Psychology at the University of Kansas. His work focuses primarily on the development of psychological interventions for treating addictive behaviors and diverse psychological problems. He has been Director of CBT training for a large multi-center NIDA-funded addictions study and, over time, has supervised hundreds of CB therapists. This highly interactive workshop presents a manualized cognitive-behavioral therapy addictions group for diverse addictive behaviors, including drug and alcohol misuse, gambling and shopping, binge eating, and pathological Internet use.
Workshop participants will learn how to:
§ Explain diverse addictive behaviors (e.g., drug and alcohol misuse, binge eating, problem gambling, Internet addiction) according to a cognitive-behavioral perspective.
§ Describe the structure and essential components of a CBTAG session, including facilitative conditions (e.g., group cohesion) that enhance the effectiveness of the group.
§ Design and implement a CBTAG in their own agency, organization, or community, serving a group of people with diverse addictive behaviors.
Workshop #3 Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to Treat Addictive Behaviors
Presented by Arthur Sandt, PhD, James Finkelstein, PhD, Michele Crisafulli, MA, and Taylor Berens-Crouch, MA. This workshop will provide an introduction to ACT and its application to addictive behaviors. Theoretical underpinnings, research support, and linkages to other treatment approaches for addictive behaviors will be reviewed. Learning through direct experience will be emphasized through experiential exercises, case examples, demonstrations, and role-plays throughout the workshop.
Workshop participants will learn how to:
§ Describe the six core processes targeted by ACT and their relevance to individuals with addictive behaviors.
§ Explain similarities and differences between ACT and other empirically-supported approaches to treatment for addictive behaviors (e.g., cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, 12-step).
§ Identify how to individually tailor and implement experiential techniques for addictive behaviors in their own clinical work.
