Center for Psychological Studies Professors Author New Book
Linda C. Sobell, PhD, ABPP
CPS professors Linda C. Sobell, Ph.D., ABPP, and Mark B. Sobell, Ph.D., ABPP, published a new book recently, Group Therapy for Substance Use Disorders: A Motivational Cognitive-Behavioral Approach. This authoritative book presents a groundbreaking evidence-based approach to conducting therapy groups for persons with substance use disorders. The approach integrates cognitive-behavioral, motivational interviewing, and relapse prevention techniques, while capitalizing on the power of group processes. Clinicians are provided with a detailed intervention framework and clear-cut strategies for helping clients to set and meet their own treatment goals. More than two dozen ready-to-use reproducible assessment tools, handouts, homework exercises, and session outlines are supplied in a convenient large-size format.
Mark B. Sobell, PhD, ABPP
