Mothering from the Inside Out: Results of a Second Randomized Clinical Trial Testing a Mentalization-based Intervention for Mothers in Addiction Treatment
Total CE Credit Hours: 2 Course Info URL: https://www.addictioncounselorce.com/courses/102973
Mothers with histories of alcohol and drug addiction have shown greater difficulty parenting young children than mothers with no history of substance misuse. This study was the second randomized clinical trial testing the efficacy of Mothering from the Inside Out (MIO), a 12-week mentalization-based individual therapy designed to address psychological deficits commonly associated with chronic substance use that also interfere with the capacity to parent young children
This course is based on the article, Mothering from the Inside Out: Results of a second randomized clinical trial testing a mentalization-based intervention for mothers in addiction treatment created by Nancy E. Suchman, PhD., et al in May of 2017.
