some of
this
If I hang in
it will fall
into place
I feel
confident I

I’ll think
about how I
can use it in
my practice

Module 2
Overview: Module 2
Module 2
Exercise 5: What Works for You?
• Working individually complete the worksheet,
identifying which models you have an affinity with
• Then circle the main model you work with
• Now find someone else in the room that uses a
DIFFERENT model to the one you typically work
with and discuss with your partner
• Why you use this model/strategies you do?
• How you know it’s working ?
• Group discussion
• There is emerging evidence that a single
theory planned approach is more effective than
an ad hoc one
• Most effective to have a single framework or
philosophy about treatment and incorporate a range
of techniques and strategies that fit with your
philosophy
Cognitive Behavioural Approach
Module 2
Planned Approach
• Best evidence for CBT compared to other types
of therapies
• Most high level research (RCTs) and the most positive
research
• Effective for a wide range of mental health problems
including AOD, anxiety and depression
BUT
Whatever framework you use, you can create
your own evidence through measuring individual
outcomes – CBT emphasises this
Module 2
Evidenced Based Practice
• Umbrella term for a range of therapies with a
cognitive and/or behavioural focus
• Therapy examples
•
•
•
•
•
•
Cognitive Therapy (Aaron Beck)
Relapse Prevention (G. Alan Marlatt)
Coping Skills Therapy (Peter Monti)
Mindfulness Therapy (Mark Williams)
Schema Therapy (Jeff Young)
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy
(Marsha Linehan)
Module 2
What is CBT?
• Strategy examples
•
•
•
•
•
•
Problem Solving
Goal Setting
Cue Exposure Therapy
Thought stopping
Urge surfing
Activity scheduling…
• Solution-Focused Therapy
• An understanding of the past and cause of problem
not necessary for resolution of the problem
• Change occurs as a result of a focus on the future
without the problem
• Narrative Therapy
• Focus is on meaning, narrative and power
• Talking about the influence of problems enables talk
about their defeat via the new stories
Module 2
In Comparison…
• Gestalt Therapy
• Focus is on the present rather than past or future
• Central aim is awareness-raising and creating
conditions to de-construct dysfunctional fixed or
habitual patterns of interaction
• Change occurs through understanding and
acceptance of what is
• Psychodynamic Therapy
• Focus is on initial underlying causes
• Understanding and having insight into the
problem leads to change
• Therapeutic relationship is the key to change
Module 2
In Comparison…
• ‘Self-help’ oriented
• Clinician provides tools and framework for change
• Client’s responsibility to create and maintain change
• Skills oriented
• Attention to therapeutic process vital but not
sufficient in itself for change to occur
• Structured but not inflexible
• Clinical judgement necessary
Module 2
What is CBT?
CBT…
• is based on an ever-evolving formulation of
the client in cognitive terms
• requires a sound therapeutic alliance
• emphasises collaboration and active
participation
• is goal oriented and problem focused
• initially emphasises the present
Module 2
CBT Principles
CBT…
• is educative, aims to teach the client to be
their own therapist, and emphasises relapse
prevention
• is time limited
• sessions are structured
• teaches clients to identify, evaluate and
respond to their dysfunctional thoughts and
beliefs
• uses a variety of techniques to change
thinking, mood and behaviour
Module 2
CBT Principles
• From the cards you have been given, keep the
ones that represent the way you work (in the
majority) and trade unwanted cards for wanted
cards with other participants
• Either
• Line up on the cognitive/behavioural continuum to
show whether you work more in a cognitive or
behavioral approach, or
• Place your cards on the grid (cognitive/behavioural vs
skills/process)
• Group discussion
• Why did you put your card or yourself where you did?
• Did the cards fall in a pattern?

Module 2
Bruce: Simplified CBT Model
Module 2
Bruce: ABC Model
• In pairs take it in turns to use the CBT model
worksheet, choose a simple target problem for
example, eating chocolate, public speaking,
learning a new skill
• Use a recent real example or a made up one
• Complete the CBT model sheet with thoughts
feelings and behaviours.
Module 2
Exercise 7: The Cognitive Model
• I: Review and feedback from last session
• II: Information and practice of session topic
• III: Summary and feedback from this session
Module 2
Typical Session Format
• Check-in past week, mood/drug use, homework
• ‘What’s been happening this week?’
• ‘How’s your [mood] been this week?’
• ‘How did you go with your homework?’
• Bridge from previous session
• ‘Remember last week we talked about [x]… did you
have any more thoughts about it?’
• ‘Were you able to get any practice of [skill]’
Module 2
CBT in Practice I: Review and Feedback
• Information about skill
• ‘last week we talked about [identifying thoughts]
this week I thought we’d talk about how to manage
those thoughts…’
• ‘Remember the cognitive model…the way I like to
think about it is…’
• Practice of skill in session
• ‘let’s try to do this together…’ [use whiteboard]
Module 2
CBT in Practice II: Info & Practice
• Summary and feedback
• ‘so what we talked about today was…’
• ‘how does that fit with you…?’
• Set homework tasks
• ‘it’s really important to practice these things
between sessions so they become second nature…
what do you think you could do that would help you
remember what we did?’
Module 2
CBT in Practice III: Summary & Feedback
• A. Watch video demonstration of basic
elements of a session
• Discussion about the elements as a group
• B. Practice the elements in pairs
• Feedback to each other good aspects and an area
for improvement
Module 2
Exercise 8: CBT Demonstration I
• Interventions are applied from the least to
most intensive
• Each step is incremental based on the client's
response to the previous one
• A stepped care approach can add flexibility to
treatment and improve outcomes
• CBT (and PsyCheck) facilitates the stepped
care approach
Module 2
Stepped Care Approach
• Therapeutic alliance vital
• Basis of ALL therapy
• Requires good counselling skills
• Necessary but not sufficient condition for change
• Collaboration and active participation by client
and clinician essential
• Requires good active and empathetic listening skills
• CBT builds therapeutic alliance through collaboration
and encouraging client involvement in their own
therapy
Module 2
The Therapeutic Relationship
• Clinical judgement is required, even though the
therapy is manualised
• Use PsyCheck as guidelines – follow steps only as
closely as you need to
• Use flexibly with extension material to tailor to
client’s needs
• Consider client’s needs
• Consider existing clinical practices and pathways
Module 2
Clinical Judgement
• PsyCheck designed to be integrated into
routine AOD treatment
• Techniques are deliberately similar to those in AOD
treatment
• Emphasise to the client the link between AOD
use and mental health problems
• Consider ways in which you can integrate into
what you already do
Module 2
Integrated Treatment
• In small groups (3-4) discuss how therapeutic
processes can be used in CBT
• What makes a good therapeutic alliance - list as
many elements as you can?
• What could happen if you don’t have a good
therapeutic alliance? Think about the client, the
practitioner and the therapy relationship
• Group discussion
Module 2
Exercise 9: Therapeutic Process
What have we learned so far…..?
Module 2
Let’s Take a Breather…
What brief practice at home would assist you
to consolidate the knowledge you gained in
this module?
• eg. Use the CBT model on your self
• eg. Further reading about CBT
• eg. Practice explain the CBT model to a
client/colleague
Next session you will be asked to share your
experience of self practice if you are willing,
(but not of the actual target problem itself if
you used yourself as a client)
Module 2

summary of presenting problems
• A working hypothesis to be reviewed
• Dynamic - as new information comes to hand, your
formulation is reviewed, added to, changed

context

their response

and reflect on potential gaps in treatment
