Computerized CBT Can Aid Care for Alcohol Disorders [PsychCentral.com]

New research finds a computer-based cognitive-behavioral therapy program can be an effective strategy for treating alcohol use disorders.

Yale researcher Kathleen M. Carroll, Ph.D., and other members of the YalePsychotherapy Development Center created the program called CBT4CBT.

The program was created to provide consistent and high-quality delivery of cognitive behavioral therapy skills training to avoid substance use.

A new study, published in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research, demonstrated that CBT4CBT is effective at reducing rates of alcohol use when delivered as an add-on to standard outpatient addiction treatment.

The study evaluated a web-based version of CBT4CBT for alcohol use disorders developed by Carroll and Brian D. Kiluk, Ph.D., assistant professor of psychiatry.

Thanks, but the only notifications I was interested in getting are those dealing with children in families or early childhood education.
