2.25 CEs | $30.00 | Dr. Afua Forson

In this course, Dr. Forson discusses Behavioral Couples Therapy as an effective evidence based model which promotes abstinence within the context of the couple relationship.

Participants will be able to:

  1. describe the role of the therapist using BCT

  3. describe relative and absolute contraindications to the use of BCT with couples
  4. list four therapeutic tasks associated with the use of BCT
