The Partner’s 20 Minute Guide helps partners change their loved one’s substance use. Developed by psychologists at the Center for Motivation and Change, the 20 Minute Guide pulls from Motivational Interviewing (MI), CRAFT (Community Reinforcement and Family Training), Cognitive Behavioral Treatment (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to give family members the best tools to help a loved one change their substance use while staying connected and using the power of science and kindness. This guide will help you with such tools as: How to react when your child has been using substances and when he has NOT been using; How to utilize your support network as effectively as possible; Getting more of what you want to see from your spouse and less of what you don’t; How to talk to your partner so that you are more likely to be heard; How to take care of yourself all along the way.

Very effective skills that are written well enough to be absorbed in 20 minute chunks! Excellent resource, well laid out. Very much appreciate evidence-based approach to helping families navigate how to respond to their loved one’s drinking. I use book in my practice with clients as well as use the skills in my own life. Science and kindness matter!!
