TCU Mapping Interventions

Mapping is a visual representation counseling strategy for improving communication and decision making that can enhance any therapeutic or psycho-educational exercise, either in group or individual settings. Evidence shows it significantly improves treatment engagement and client progress indicators, and helps compensate for a variety of cognitive and social deficits common among drug users in treatment (Dansereau & Dees, 2002; Czuchry & Dansereau, 2003).

The Institute of Behavioral Research at Texas Christian University is pleased to make available, without charge, a wide array of evidence-based mapping guides, client interventions, and organizational interventions developed for substance abuse treatment. Collectively, they are referred to as the “TCU Treatment Interventions.”
