  • Individual Psychotherapy for Addicted Clients

    Lynn E O’connor, Lynn E O'Connor et al.ARTICLEJournal of Psychoactive Drugs1993

    This article presents an overview of Control Mastery Theory, developed by Joseph Weiss, and applies this theory to the treatment of alcohol- and other drug-addicted clients. The article proposes that individual psychotherapy, in conjunction with self-help and other chemical dependency treatment programs, may be a significant component of the treatment of addicted clients. According to Weiss's theory, addicted clients are suffering not only from t…
