Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Enduring Effects and Mechanisms Bruce J. Rounsaville Yale University
Cognitive Behavioral Coping Skills • Based on social learning theory • Substance use is functionally related to other problems • Emphasizes learning of coping skills • Initiation and mastery of skills through practice, role playing, and extra-sessions tasks
Functional Analysis Exploration of substance use in relationship to antecedents and consequences
CBT for drug dependence • Introduction to functional analysis • Coping with craving • Shoring up motivation • Refusal skills and assertiveness • Seemingly Irrelevant Decisions • All purpose coping plan • Problem solving • Case management • Termination
Empirical support for CBT • CBT may be more effective for more severe cocaine abusers • Carroll et al., 1994, 1998; McKay et al 1997; Maude-Griffin et al, 1998
Empirical support for CBT • CBT’s effects appear to be durable up to one year after treatment ends • CBT appears to be associated with continuing improvement in substance use
Does CBT work the way we think it works? Initial exploration of mechanisms of action of CBT: • Does CBT differentially increase coping skills? • Are coping skills related to outcome?
Cocaine Risk Response Test • Role playing task based on Chaney’s work, administered pre-and posttreatment • Example: “You are at a party, where you didn’t think cocaine would be available. However, you notice people going in and out of a back bedroom, and a friend invites you to join them. What do you do?
Cocaine Risk Response Test Audiotaped responses to 10 high risk situations scored on 6 dimensions: • Latency • Number of coping plans • Quality of best plan • Overall quality • Specificity • Type of coping response
Psychometric properties • Good interrater reliability (.74-.89) • Good internal consistency (.79-.96) • Significant pre-posttreatment increases in number of coping plans, quality of response, specificity of response
Treatment and coping skills acquisition • Significant treatment condition by time interactions suggest patients assigned to CBT, TSF, or Clinical Management show greater increases in coping skills associated with that treatment condition • Higher posttreatment CBT skills associated with significantly less cocaine use during follow-up
