Cbt? Can anyone recommend some good CBT books or info on the net please? Specific to alcoholism would be best ;) I would like a book that isn't too academic that Icould get some ideas and techniques from. |
Not on the net, but "Under the influence " is a great read. There's snippets of it here at SR somewhere. |
I just looked through half a dozen pages of this forum and I couldn't find anything. People here - when it was an "alternative to AA" forum - were mainly into SMART recovery and do it yourself. There was a guy called Five who used to mention cbt practice as part of his daily defences against drink, and I've looked through his posts - up to a point - and I can find nothing. I googled "cbt, alcoholism, recovery" as I'm sure you have, and found lots of stuff, including stuff under "self-help Cognitive Behaviour Therapy" and Rational Behaviour Therapy. I know a little about these theoretically - I've read some of it - but nothing at all experientially - I haven't practiced it. Maybe someone with more experience will post |
For some good information about what CBT is and how it is set up to work, see: http://www.nacbt.org/whatiscbt.htm For a self help approach, here's a book that may be helpful. http://nacbt.americommerce.com/store...l-Therapy.aspx I cannot speak to the worth of the book, but, it was based from the first link, and that was decent infomation. Hope it helps! :e058: Shalom! |
Here are a few from the SMART Recovery site, you can find more there as well: Addictive Behavior – For Members Alcohol: How to Give it Up and Be Glad You Did, A Sensible Approach * - Philip Tate, Ph.D. (See Sharp Press 1997) Sex, Drugs, Gambling, & Chocolate: A Workbook for Overcoming Addictions * - A Thomas Horvath, Ph.D. (Impact Publishers, Inc. - 1998 The Small Book - Jack Trimpey, LCSW (Delacorte Press, New York, NY - 1992) When AA Doesn’t Work for You: Rational Steps to Quitting Alcohol - Albert Ellis, Ph.D. & Emmett Velten, Ph.D. (Barricade Books, Inc.Fort Lee, NJ - 1992) I prefer books by Peele and Ellis myself. |
Thanks everyone! Teach, that is the type I have been looking at actually. Here is one I found on Amazon. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mind-Over-Mo...841095-9213258 I also think this looks good but it isn't out until october. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Teach-Yourse...825300&sr=8-36 Hi Alera, I hadn't looked into smart recovery but they do seem to use CBT after a quick scan of the website. I will look into it! Thanks for the recommendation too. |
