3. In brief, please review the Cognitive Model of Substance Use.

Beck et al. (1993) argued that dysfunctional beliefs contribute to the formation of urges. The theory stipulates a linear process that starts with a belief, which leads to an expectation, which then produces an urge to use. The cognitive-behavioral theory holds that the dysfunctional beliefs about the substance use include one of more of the following: (1) The substance use will help the client maintain an overall sense of stability; (2) The substance will make the client better, smarter, more capable, etc.; (3) The substance effects will be pleasurable in some manner; (4) The substance will relieve negative mood or affect.; and (5) The substance will help manage any cravings.
