Dr. McCrady reminds us that alcohol and drug problems always exist in a context that includes
families and relationships, and that couples therapy is an important model for working with
addictions. Dr. McCrady uses a behavioral approach that helps the client change his or her
addictive behaviors, helps the partner learn to respond differently, and helps the couple change
the relationship itself. In this video, Dr. McCrady works with a young couple trying to change
behaviors related to alcohol and marijuana use. Jon Carlson and Judy Lewis introduce Dr. McCrady,
and facilitate an in-depth discussion of the further impact and uses of the model.
