What are the cognitive-behavioral types of intervention?

There are several new cognitive-behavioural types of intervention. They are not quite as dramatic and drastic as the original sort of Johnson formulation now available. One is called the Arise method, one is called the Kraft method. These are acronyms, and you could probably look them up on the internet and find out further information. They approach it from a very different standpoint. It's not all about them being diseased, or about them being bad, but rather approaching them from a much more gentle, softer approach where there's much more cooperation. For example, in the Kraft method, between the husband and wife, there's more focus on getting a job and using a certain sort of pharmacological intervention. It's not all about running off and getting fixed in that place called rehab only to return to the same place. It's a much more integrative approach. There may be certain communities and community hospitals that have a very distinct method that fosters more communication that comes from a really loving position where they want the relationship to continue.
