Substance abuse is one of the most perplexing and patience-testing aspects of clinical treatment. The way the body responds to a drug, like alcohol, makes it's chronic abuse frustrating to treat. To make matters even more complicated, substance abuse challenges like alcohol abuse or alcoholism emerge in subtle ways when you're treating couples.
How does alcohol use or abuse affect intimacy?
This is just one of the many questions that therapists will encounter when treating couples in which one or both partners struggles with alcohol abuse. Fortunately, because it's such a perplexing problem, there are excellent researchers and clinicians dedicated to it's treatment.
Take Dr. Barbara S. McCrady.
Dr. McCrady's dedication to the treatment of alcohol abuse within couple's work is nationally recognized. She has paved the road for clinicians across the country who are trying to help couples and families dealing with this vexing problem.
We're proud and excited to have Dr. McCrady as the keynote speaker at our upcoming day conference on Friday, October 14th.
