The focus on these theories in interpersonal, rather than the individual-level theories we discussed last week. How are they different? You may want to consider how interpersonal theories can be applied to treatment for substance use and in what settings. Are theoretical model that take into account one's social environment more or less applicable to treatment for substance use, than individual-level theories. How are these theories related to evidence-based treatment practices we discussed during week 1? Again, use this discussion as an opportunity to prepare for Assignment 2.
