Title: Conjoint Therapy: effects on both the problem user and affected family members

Presenters: Professor Barbara McCrady, Distinguished Professor Emerita, University of New Mexico, USA

Description: Since the mid-1970s, Professor McCrady has been a pioneer in the development of interventions which focus on conjoint therapy (working with couples where one person has a serious alcohol or other addiction problem) as well as developing other approaches involving social networks, cognitive behavioural therapy, mutual help groups, and therapies for women. In this Webinar she provided a brief overview of her family-involved treatment model and the drinking outcomes that it leads to, followed by more qualitative data on family perspectives on participating in treatment with the IP, their verbal behaviour in sessions, and how these relate to drinking outcomes..
