Couples Therapy for Addictions: A Cognitive-Behavioral Approach
by Barbara S. McCrady
See Barbara S. McCrady work with a couple struggling with addictions in an actual couples therapy session.
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 addictions 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.What therapists are saying…
"This video is a wonderful example of culturally sensitive cross-racial treatment with an African American couple struggling with drug and alcohol abuse. I use it regularly in my courses and highly recommend it."
