Computer assisted CBT
www.webex.com). Webex
The online CBT course was created by translating the
content from the National Institute of Drug Abuse therapy
manual A cognitive behavioral approach: Treating cocaine
addiction (Carroll, 1998) into a series of interactive, mediarich,
Web-based modules for clinician training. Each of the
eight topics in the CBT manual resulted in a stand-alone,
problem-focused module (e.g., “Problem Solving,” “Coping
with Craving,” “Refusal Skills”) designed to provide counselors
with the knowledge and skills required to successfully
implement that set of CBTstrategies and/or techniques in their
clinical practice. Each module or “tool” uses a variety of
vignettes, video role-plays, graphics, and animated sequences
to promote active engagement with the material. The course
is currently available at www.nidatoolbox.org and available
for free Continuing Education credit through the Addiction
Technology Transfer Centers' searchable database of distance
learning courses (www.addictioned.org)
