The process of skills training: A content analysis of evidence-based addiction therapies

In this report, we target a single therapeutic factor —skills training for addictive behavior change—and we operationalize this factor in a manner that will aid clinical training and quality control. Specifically, we identify principles, which we defined as broader understandings on the part of the therapist that must be kept in mind when implement ing a specific therapeutic practice. We define a practice as discrete action step or specific type of intervention that the therapist uses when addressing skills training content with clients.
