Building Recovery by Improving Goals, Habits, and Thoughts (BRIGHT)

Résumé du livre

Building Recovery by Improving Goals, Habits, and Thoughts (BRIGHT) is a manualized group cognitive behavioral therapy program for depression in individuals with co-occurring alcohol and drug use problems. BRIGHT has been designed so that non0́3mental health practitioners, and practitioners with less formal training than professional mental health counselors, can deliver the program, thus providing evidence-based depression treatment to individuals who often do not receive it. BRIGHT is a 16-week program consisting of four modules, each of which focuses on a specific topic0́4thoughts, activities, people interactions, and substance abuse0́4and how it can affect a person0́9s mood. The BRIGHT manual consists of a leader0́9s introduction, a session-by-session group leader manual, and a session-by-session group member0́9s workbook. This volume includes the leader0́9s introduction and leader0́9s manual; the leader0́9s manual includes the same material provided to group members, except that it also includes instructions, highlighted in shaded text boxes, to help the group leader present the program material.
