This book serves as a concise and practical guide for practitioners using cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) with clients who use alcohol in a harmful way. Throughout the book, Marcantonio Spada uses functional analysis and case formulation paradigms to examine the cause and maintenance of problem drinking and associate issues. Divided into five chapters it provides:
a detailed account of behavioural and cognitive theories and therapies
a structured approach for the sequencing of therapeutic interventions
case examples of the application of CBT
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Problem Drinking also includes diaries and exercise sheets for use with the client. It is therefore essential reading for all mental health practitioners in the field of alcohol misuse, as well as being a useful resource for those in training.
