This self-paced training manual for substance abuse treatment counselors provides an introduction to node-link mapping, a visual representation system for helping clients improve problem-solving and decision-making skills. This easy-to-read manual uses a step-by-step format to explain both the theory and technique of node-link mapping and its application in individual and group counseling. Recent studies by the authors suggest that the use of node-link mapping in counseling enhances client commitment to treatment, counseling efficiency, and therapeutic alliance.
This "how-to" manual also includes:
- Review of cognitive learning theory
- Exercises for practice and mastery
- Examples of finished maps
- Glossary of node-link mapping terms
- Ideas for using maps in counseling sessions
- Bibliography of papers on node-link mapping
