A practical approach to clinical interventions applicable to a range of mental health diagnoses Integrated Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (ICBT) for Adults is a guide for practitioners looking for evidence-based clinical interventions that are portable across settings and diagnoses. Written in plain English and with an emphasis on step-by-step instructions, this valuable toolkit collects strategies and interventions that have been shown to be effective in substance use disorder, depression, anxiety, and beyond. This widely applicable treatment approach draws on motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational enhancement therapy, mindfulness, functional analysis, and other methods that are strongly supported in the literature. With content reflecting emerging research findings and evolving social contexts, this book is both timely and firmly rooted in science. After presenting a set of proven techniques for motivational interviewing and CBT, this book details a 16-session course designed to fit within conventional models of therapeutic practice. Each session covers a cognitive behavioral skill (e.g., assertiveness, handling cravings, suicidality) and builds upon the previous sessions, but they also work as standalone interventions and do not have to be followed in a particular order. The book also offers additional tools to promote intervention quality and clinical supervision. Worksheets, handouts, and other materials are included in photocopiable format, making this a valuable guide in all outpatient mental health settings. * Learn the fundamentals of motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, and other evidence-based treatment modalities * Get practical clinical tools, including step-by-step session guides on cognitive behavioral skills relevant to a range of diagnoses * Access self-assessments, clinical supervision tools, and other resources to enhance clinical effectiveness * Incorporate emerging research, changing social contexts, and lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic into your practice Earlier editions of this guide focused on addressing substance use disorders and cooccurring disorders.

A valuable guide to transdiagnostic clinical tools grounded in research and applicable across clinical settings

Clinical research has identified a set of common practices that are effective for a variety of mental and behavioral health conditions. Depression, anxiety, substance use disorder, and other diagnoses respond to interventions that focus on fostering patients' intrinsic drive for positive change, and equipping them with the practical skills needed to achieve change. The 16 core interventions in this book draw on emerging research and clinical best practices to address patient-clinician relationship building, skills training, mindful personal awareness, and more.

The sessions descried inside follow a common framework that can be tailored to patients' individual needs and clinicians' styles and preferences. They can be used as a course of treatment or selected "a la carte" according to patient's needs. Handouts and additional resources are included within the book for easy access.

In addition to practical interventions, this book also includes easy-to-understand overviews of key therapeutic strategies, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and incorporating cultural relevance in clinical work. Further resources target clinical supervision and enhancing fidelity during implementation of the interventions. Together, these tools offer a complete clinical approach that will prove invaluable to mental and behavioral health students and practitioners everywhere.
