COGNITIVE-BEHAVIOURAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT

---

This book is designed to provide guidelines to clinicians (mental health/
addiction) for the treatment of problematic drug/alcohol use in their clients
with severe mental health problems. The C-BIT treatment approach was
initially designed for use in settings that provide some assertive outreach,
although components can be used with clients in settings where such outreach
is not possible. While the majority of the book describes a treatment approach
called ‘‘Cognitive-Behavioural Integrated Treatment (C-BIT)’’, in the first
section we seek to set the scene by outlining some of the background issues
concerning substance use and mental health problems. In this section, we
summarise the prevalence rates of substance misuse in people with severe
mental health problems, the impact of alcohol and drugs on mental health and
social functioning, and an introduction to why and how cognitive-behaviour
therapy has been applied to this client group.
Part Two of the book will take you through the C-BIT approach in a step-bystep
manner. It will guide you through how to deliver interventions
appropriate to your client’s stage of engagement with you. Illustrative case
material is used throughout, and techniques are suggested to tackle obstacles
to behaviour change that may arise during the course of treatment sessions.
The final section of the book will address some of the key issues involved in
the process of implementing integrated treatment.
