This presentation provides the foundation and application skills needed to effectively perform Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with substance use disordered clients. The presentation briefly reviews the DSM-5 substance use disorder diagnostic criteria, and assists counselors to know the different types and applications of CBT that focus on cognitive restructuring, modifying behavior, and developing alternative coping skills. CBT is an evidence-based counseling therapy often used in substance use treatment, both in individual and group counseling. CBT is a general classification of psychotherapy, based on social learning theory, which emphasizes how our thinking interacts with how we feel and what we do. A counselor using CBT helps a client to recognize their style of thinking and to modify it through the use of evidence and logic, which is especially true for clients with substance use issues and co‑occurring disorders in the application of thinking errors and maladaptive behaviors.
Objectives:
- Identify the DSM-5 criteria used to make a substance use diagnosis.
- Describe the 12 Foundational Skills needed to effectively implement CBT.
- Describe the eight skills needed to effectively perform CBT, including Irrational Triggers, Bad Habits, Self-Defeating Beliefs, Rational Self Analysis, and Rational Emotive Imagery.
