Unlike some of these other therapies, like cognitive behavior therapy or dialectical behavior therapy or mindfulness, that have thousands and thousands of textbooks out there, different versions, this one only has a couple or a few.
Ever wondered which therapies stand out for treating addiction? In this engaging episode of 'Captain Hooked: The Addiction Project', Dr. Wiplove Lamba and Jean-Paul Michael shine a light on two powerful approaches: the Community Reinforcement Approach (CRA) and the Craft Intervention Program (CRAFT). These methods, though less publicized than cognitive behavior therapy, offer robust outcomes for individuals battling substance use and their families. Dr.
Wip and JP bring their extensive expertise to the table, recommending two pivotal books that every addiction therapist should have in their arsenal. The first, 'A Community Reinforcement Approach to Addiction Treatment' by Robert Myers and William Miller, delves into CRA fundamentals, providing practical handouts like the happiness scale and sobriety sampling tools.
The second, 'The Craft Intervention Program: Motivating Substance Abusers to Enter Treatment' by Robert Myers and Jane Ellen Smith, offers a deep dive into CRAFT, focusing on engaging family members in the recovery process. Listeners will appreciate the hosts' candid discussion about the underrepresentation of CRA and CRAFT in mainstream literature compared to other therapies. They also demonstrate how these approaches can be effectively integrated with popular methods like cognitive behavior therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness practices.
Through real-world examples and practical advice, Dr. Wip and JP illustrate how to apply CRA and CRAFT tools in clinical settings to enhance addiction treatment. Whether you're an addiction therapist looking to expand your toolkit or someone interested in the nuances of addiction therapy, this episode is a treasure trove of knowledge. Tune in for an insightful conversation that promises to enrich your understanding and practice of addiction treatment.
