This newly recorded course features expert presentations and interactive discussions on current advancements and emerging trends in addiction, organized around six focused topics.

In this course, you'll gain a clear understanding of the theoretical framework of psychotherapy through 90-minute video modules with simulated patients, showing you how these techniques translate into your clinical practice.

The sessions were originally presented live, and the recorded Q&A is included on demand so you can hear participants engage directly with expert presenters, ask questions, and explore key topics in greater depth, with faculty feedback that deepens your understanding and strengthens your skills.

Target Audience  

This course is intended for psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and addiction counselors who are working with individuals with substance use disorders.
