This workbook can be used by clients in first line care, in addiction care centers, in mental health care, also in blended therapy sessions. It focusses at individual treatment with 9 basic sessions and 7 optional sessions containing self-monitoring registration forms, other fill-in schemes and many exercises to do and to discuss the next session. Themes and subjects of the sessions are also leading in the workbook. Clients are expected to work hard on the goals set. They practice with different ways of thinking and behaviour. It is important that the clients exercise and write things down in the workbook. This maximizes the chance to reach control over their substance use or gambling. The workbook does not contain psycho-education itself but is referring to reliable sources. The therapist is supported with psycho-education in the short EXTRA manual at www.zorg-perspectief.nl
The author is CBT therapist and was projectleader CBT for Substance Use and Gambling with the Dutch Addiction Association and senior expert at the Drug Monitoring and Policy programme of Trimbos Institute in the Netherlands.
