Transcending Self Therapy
Book for Facilitators: Four-Session Individual Integrative Cognitive Behavioral Treatment
Description:... This manual is designed for therapists and describes how to provide Transcending Self Therapy (TST) in four individual adjunctive therapy sessions. TST is an evidence-informed, integrative-cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)-based treatment approach for mental health issues, including substance abuse and depression. In addition to integrative-CBT, TST also acknowledges the need to better connect to others and a passionate pursuit that is in line with one's moral compass and/or spiritual beliefs. In this way, TST facilitates clients living a life in accordance with their values in a culturally-sensitive way. Sessions focus on identifying and changing unhealthy thinking and behavioral patterns as core elements of integrative-CBT, while also acknowledging the importance of problem-solving, coping skills, goal setting, and psychosocial functioning. Created by frontline mental health providers to be practical and feasible, TST requires only the time that is frequently expected in treatment programs. The manual is designed for maximum ease of use, with a step-by-step style, case examples, and comprehensive information on the TST treatment approach, strategies for overcoming obstacles to recovery, case conceptualization, treatment planning, and session outlines.
