CBT for Substance Misuse – Why You Should Attend

Substance Misuse may not be your client’s main problem, but you know that all too often it makes psychological difficulties even worse!

The anxious client who drinks too much, the client whose relationship is suffering and who uses cocaine, the depressed client who tries to raise their mood with cannabis. There are numerous examples.

You probably hear phrases like “I can handle it”, “it’s not really a problem” or even, “I’ll never be able to stop it’s who I am”.

So how do you help clients who are using misusing drugs or alcohol?

Unhelpful beliefs are the cornerstone of substance misuse problems and CBT has a long history of successfully addressing them. The use of CBT with Substance Misuse problems has become one of the fastest growing areas over the last few years. The field has been dominated by Motivational Interviewing alone for a period of 30 years and more recently has been looking for additional direction.

To help you with this we are running a two day course WORKING WITH SUBSTANCE MISUSE, at the British Psychological Society in London, on the 13th-14th June

This BPS approved course looks specifically at the adaption of CBT to working with clients with substance misuse problems.

As always places are very limited and this course will not be run again this year, so take this opportunity now.

You'll struggle to find approved training on this topic anywhere else!

I look forward to seeing you there.

About this Blog

This is our first attempt to join the exciting world of blogging and bring to you all the fresh and hot news about the world of psychology and, of course, about your favourite training company. This is our new enterprise and we are finding our way in this mysterious world of blogging cautiously (but surely...) :-)
We are hoping to move our popular SDS Delegate Debate into this blogging format in the future and looking forward to lively discussions here with you. We are planning to start with publishing already existing SDS Delegate Debates — with comments received from you. Then we'll move to the current news as well as will run new delegate debates there.
Feel free to leave comments to any of the posts — whether they are old debates, the news or new debates. As you can guess — every blogger loves his readers and LIVES for the comments. :-) We are just the same. You don’t need to register in order to be able to comment. You can leave your feedback as “Anonymous”, however, may we ask you to sign you name (or nick) at the end of your comment (even if you are commenting without logging in) so that we know how to address you.
Another useful tool that SDS Blog provides us with is availability of Polls that enable us to find out your views about various subjects. Polls are located on the left panel of the page and updated regularly. Please feel free to vote. You can see the results of each poll by clicking the button "Results".
If you wish to register — nothing can be easier — you just open a Google account — most of you, surely, already use one.
Your comments are read by SDS Consultants regularly and — in many cases — replied to.
The blog is moderated — mainly to protect you and other readers from spam and irrelevant comments.
All posts are tagged — hopefully it'll help you to find your way around there.
Wish us luck and please join the list of our followers.
