Project Match Monograph Series Volume 3: Cognitive-Behavioral Coping Skills Therapy Manual: A Clinical Research Guide for Therapists Treating Individuals with Alcohol Abuse and Dependence

The roots of Cognitive-Behavioral Coping Skills Therapy (CBT) actually predate Project MATCH. The manual draws heavily on material first published in 1989 by Dr. Peter Monti. The general framework and goals, although unchanged over the years, have seen progress. For example, CBT now is being applied to other diseases and disorders, including insomnia, bulimia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety, addiction, and depression. This therapy has proved especially useful for treating adolescents, as it enables the clinician to easily tailor the discussion to meet the needs of a younger patient. CBT also is providing promising results in group settings of patients with bipolar and panic disorders.
