Cognitive Node Link Mapping: A Very Helpful Treatment

Technique
CEUs: Approved for 1.5 credit hours for licensed Kentucky and Ohio social workers and Kentucky
psychologists. Approved for KY Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselors.
This online workshop presents a cognitive treatment approach that is easy to learn and which can be
very helpful in many areas of clinical practice. Node Link Mapping was developed at the Behavioral
Research Institute at Texas Christian University and was incorporated into the rural therapy protocol
developed at the University of Kentucky. Essentially, Node Link Mapping is a visual way to
represent the often complex relationships among the thoughts, feelings, and experiences of clients in
a way that makes it much easier to see the specific kinds of connections and relationships among
them. It can be used either in individual therapy or in group therapy and has the added benefit of
focusing the interaction on a specific set of problems or experiences, decreasing the amount of
wandering or avoidance that often occurs in therapeutic interaction.
Participants will gain an understanding of Cognitive Node Link Mapping
Participants will gain understanding of the protocol was integrated into a rural therapy
protocol at the University of Kentucky
Participants will be able to use this technique in their own practice to help decrease
wandering and avoidance in their own therapeutic interactions.

Cost: $30
CEs: Approved for 1.0 credit hours for licensed Kentucky and Ohio social workers and
Kentucky psychologists and Kentucky Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselors
Motivational Interviewing is a client centered and directive approach to therapy that assists
individuals in resolving their ambivalence about positive change. It was developed by William
Miller, University of New Mexico, and Richard Rollnick, University of New South Wales, as a
treatment protocol for substance misusing individuals. However, it has proven very successful in
dealing with a wide range of human problems--both emotional and medical-- where significant
changes in entrenched behaviors are necessary to bring about healing. Through the use of video
recorded lecture and PowerPoint this training focuses on the basic principles and strategies of initial
work with clients who might benefit from such an approach.
