This is a classic course.
Addiction Counselor CE retains a small number of
"Classic Courses".
These courses are based on materials that have an older publication date, but that
retain enduring learning value and relevance today. We can recommend this course as
valuable, but if
you are looking for more recent material you might wish to choose a different one.
This manual for Brief Marijuana Dependence Counseling (BMDC) is based on the research
protocol used by counselors in MTP. The manual provides guidelines for counselors, social workers,
and psychologists in both public and private settings who treat adults dependent on marijuana.
The 10 weekly one-on-one sessions in the BMDC manual offer examples of how a counselor can
help a client understand certain topics, keep his or her determination to change, learn new skills,
and access needed community supports
This course is based on the reading-based online article, Brief Counseling for Marijuana Dependence: A Manual Treating Adults created by Karen L. Steinberg, PhD., Roger A Roffman, DSW , and Kathleen M. Carroll, PhD in 2012.
