Psychosocial Treatment for Addictions
The Psychosocial Treatment for Addictions team focuses on on the therapeutic side of addiction treatment and research. Most prominently, the application of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to the addiction field. Interested in the advancement and improvement of CBT, the group has deconstructed its components in an effort to analyze what parts are important to improve therapy outcomes. Further they are interested in understanding the role non-treatment aspects, such as the " placebo effect", play in addiction therapy. Other areas of interest of the group are in the relationship between alexithymia, and geriatric psychiatry to addiction.
