Motivational Enhancement Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Adolescent Cannabis Users: 5 Sessions. CYT Cannabis Youth Treatment Series, Volume 1.

摘要

This manual is designed to help train substance abuse treatment counselors to conduct a brief five-session treatment intervention for adolescents with cannabis use disorders presenting for outpatient treatment. It combines two sessions of motivational enhancement therapy provided individually and three sessions of cognitive behavioral therapy provided in a group format. The program is referred to as MET/CBT5. Although this will be one of the first applications of these approaches to adolescent treatment, related brief intervention approaches with adults have proved very effective.In the CYT study, the approach was also an efficient intervention because its personalized feedback report was based on the intake assessments already done as part of the research protocol.
