"There is no single, definitive approach to CBT. In fact, this is why so many knowledgeable CBT practitioners and researchers refer to CBT in the plural form (i.e., cognitive-behavioral therapies). The following CBT approaches have all been successfully applied to the treatment of addictive behaviors: acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT; Hayes, Strosahl, & Wilson, 2012), behavioral activation (BA; Daughters et al., 2018; Daughters, Magidson, Lejuez, & Chen, 2016), contingency management (CM; Petry, 2012), community reinforcement and family therapy (CRAFT; Meyers & Squires, 2001), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT; Linehan, 2015), mindfulness-based relapse prevention (Bowen, Chawla, Grow, & Marlatt, 2021; Witkiewitz, Marlatt, & Walker, 2005), and more." (p.8)
"...helping people with addictions can be deeply rewarding. When CBT for addictions goes as planned, patients have better lives than they may have imagined possible. They realize that life without addictive behaviors is full of possibilities. And when all does not go as planned, and yet the therapeutic relationship remains strong, patients are often eternally grateful for the help and support they receive from therapists who have played an extraordinarily important role in their lives.
We hope you find this book helpful for conducting CBT with people who have chemical and behavioral addictions. And we hope you find this work as rewarding as we do." (p.14)
