Cognitive-Behavioural Integrated Treatment (C-BIT) (eBook)

This exciting new book addresses the important issue of how to
provide integrated mental health and substance misuse treatment of
individuals with these co-occurring disorders. Combining both
theory and practice, by the use of illustrative clinical case
material, it provides a survey of different approaches to the
integration of mental health and substance misuse services. A
unique collection of chapters, from authors who are experts in the
field and pioneering innovative approaches, provides an
international perspective (including UK, Germany, Australia, USA,
Canada) of treatment.

Arranged in five sections, Section 1 provides an introduction to
the issue of substance misuse amongst those with psychosis. Section
2 introduces a range of integrated service models from different
countries. The third section provides a practical hands-on guide to
assessment and treatment. The fourth section addresses the specific
treatment needs of special population groups (including young
people, forensic groups, homeless people and those with HIV/AIDS).
The final section examines treatment outcome studies and
implications for the future.

Clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, nurses, case managers,
and psychiatric social workers in training and practice in clinic,
hospital and community settings will find this book an essential
practical resource for working with individuals (and their
families) with co-occurring disorders.
