Objective: This meta-analysis examined 53 controlled trials of cognitive-behavioral treatment (CBT) for adults diagnosed with alcohol- or illicit-drug-use disorders The aims were to provide an overall picture of CBT treatment efficacy and to identify client or treatment factors predictive of CBT effect magnitude Method: The inverse variance weighted effect size (Hedges' g) was calculated for each study and pooled using fixed and random effects methods Potential study-level moderators were assessed in subgroup analyses by primary drug, type of CBT, and type of comparison condition In addition, seven client and treatment variables were examined in meta-regression analyses Results: Across studies, CBT produced a small but statistically significant treatment effect (g = 0154, p < 005) The pooled effect was somewhat lower at 6-9 months (g = 01 15, p < 005) and continued to diminish at 12-month follow-up (g = 0096, p < 05) The effect of CBT was largest in marijuana studies (g = 0513, p < 005) and

Cognitive-Behavioral Treatment With Adult Alcohol and Illicit Drug Users: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Gognitive-behavioral approaches to alcohol and drug use disorders have received considerable empirical support over the past 20 years. One cognitive-behavioral treatment, relapse prevention, was initially designed as an adjunct to existing treatments. It has also been extensively used as a stand-alone treatment and serves as the basis for several other cognitive and behavioral treatments. After a brief review of relapse prevention, as well as the hypothesized mechanisms of change in cognitive and behavioral treatments, we will describe a "new" approach to alcohol and drug problems called mindfulness-based relapse prevention. Preliminary data in support of mindfulness-meditation as a treatment for addictive behavior are provided and directions for future research are discussed.

Cognitive Therapy for Suicidal Patients: Scientific and Clinical Applications

A systematic review of motivational interviewing training for general health care practitioners.

In the present study 128 alcohol dependent men and women received 26 weeks of group treatment in one of two modalities: Cognitive-behavioral treatment (CBT) intended specifically to develop coping skills or interactional therapy intended to examine interpersonal relationships. Coping skills and drinking were assessed prior to and after treatment and up to 18 months after intake. Results indicated that both treatments yielded very good drinking outcomes throughout the follow-up period. Increased coping skills was a significant predictor of outcome. However, neither treatment effected greater increases in coping than the other. Specific coping-skills training was not essential for increasing the use of coping skills. The results raise questions about the efficacy of specific treatment elements of CBT in treatment of alcohol dependence.

Coping skills and treatment outcomes in cognitive-behavioral and interactional group therapy for alcoholism.

Accumulating evidence suggests that psychosocial treatment for cannabis dependence is effective. Earlier investigations were well designed and sought to evaluate efficacy of manual-guided therapies with particular attention to protecting the independent variable. The Marijuana Treatment Project (MTP) represents an effort to build upon previous knowledge about cannabis dependence treatment through an evaluation of an integrative therapy, which was meant to allow for greater therapist latitude in its delivery, and to be more responsive to a potentially more diverse population of clients. The treatment intervention developed for delivery in the Marijuana Treatment Project (MTP) reflects an effort to find a true compromise between the needs of the scientific community to have clearly specified and measurable treatments, and the realities of the treatment community, which demand flexibility, appreciation of the multi-determined nature of most problems, and individualized approaches. This paper will describe the clinical interventions used with the MTP participants, the theoretical rationale guiding their design and practical aspects related to implementation and treatment response.

Tailoring cannabis dependence treatment for a diverse population : Marijuana Treatment Project (MTP)

Objective: In earlier work, client sociopathy and global psychopathology were effective variables for treatment matching: clients low on both sociopathy and severity of psychopathology were likely to benefit from interactional group therapy, whereas those scoring high on either of these dimensions benefited more from a coping skills intervention The present study assessed whether outcomes improve further when clients are assigned to group treatments prospectively based on a matching strategy derived from the previous findings Method: All participants (N = 250, 66% men) met criteria for alcohol dependence or abuse About half were prospectively assigned to either cognitive-behavioral (CB) coping skills training or interactional therapy, those with higher levels of psychiatric severity or sociopathy were given CB and those who were low on both dimensions were given interactional therapy The other half were randomly assigned to those treatments, replicating the procedure of the earlier study Outcome data
