“…Dansereau and Dees (2002) cited research in the field of cognitive psychology that has established the importance of representing issues graphically, rather than in written text, to aid the clustering and organisation of complex information. The use of node-link mapping has a strong evidence base as a clinical strategy in the addiction field, where maps are used to spatially organise related thoughts and actions and can be used by treatment counsellors to facilitate communication and problem solving in group and individual sessions (Czuchry & Dansereau, 2003). The intervention specifically used pre-structured guide maps, which had guiding questions and blank nodes to be filled in collaboratively by the counsellor and client.…”

A six-session intervention for harmful alcohol use was piloted via a 24-hour alcohol and other drug (AOD) helpline, assessing feasibility of telephone-delivered treatment. The intervention, involving practice elements from Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and node-link mapping, was evaluated using a case file audit (n=30) and a structured telephone interview one month after the last session (n=22). Average scores on the AUDIT dropped by more than 50% and there were significant reductions in psychological distress. Results suggest that, even among dependent drinkers, a telephone intervention offers effective and efficient treatment for those unable or unwilling to access face-to-face treatment.Structured alcohol intervention for telephone 3

“…Given previous research that has demonstrated the ef fectiveness of free mapping alone (see Czuchry & Dansereau 2003 for a review), it was expected that the current study would replicate these findings. Although an examination of the means suggests that free mapping improved opiate outcomes, this trend was not statistically significant, perhaps due to the small sample size in the current study.…”

“…Although demand characteristics cannot be ruled out in the current design, prior studies that have used between groups designs have also found treatment effects in favor of map ping (Czuchry & Dansereau 2003). Additional research, with methodologically stronger designs, are still required to ensure that mapping (free and guide) is appropriate at all stages of treatment.…”

To examine the effectiveness of two visual representation counseling techniques for reducing illicit drug use, participants were randomly assigned to receive standard treatment "as usual" or standard treatment supplemented with free mapping or free plus guide mapping. Each counselor delivered all types of treatment to participants to control for differences in counselor characteristics (e.g., experience, empathy). Eighty-two participants who had received one year of methadone maintenance treatment and had urinalysis and self-report data for illicit drug use six months after treatment were examined. Compared to participants receiving standard treatment, participants randomly assigned to the free plus guide mapping condition had significantly lower opiate use based on urinalysis and self-report data. These results support the use of the free plus guide visual representation strategy and provide evidence for the concurrent validity of self-report measures of illicit drug use.

“…This has been shown to lead to a range of advantages, including enhancements in key aspects of the counselling session, e.g. communication and attentional focus (Czuchry & Dansereau, 2003), as well as greater breadth and depth of ideas generated and greater counsellor insights about gaps in thinking (Dansereau, Dees, Greener, & Simpson, 1995;Newbern, Dansereau, & Dees, 1997). This technique is particularly effective in the early stages of treatment engagement through improving motivation and commitment (Czuchry, Dansereau, Dees, & Simpson, 1995;Dansereau et al, 1993;Knight, Dansereau, Joe, & Simpson, 1994), and application of NLM strategies has produced better outcomes at 6-and 12-months post-intervention in terms of reduced drug use (Czuchry, Newbern-McFarland, & Dansereau, 2009; Rowan-Szal, Bartholomew, Chatham, & Simpson, 2005) and better psychological functioning (Newbern, Dansereau, & Pitre, 1999).…”

Aims: Node-link mapping (NLM) has been strongly advocated as a cognitive tool that aims to enhance the treatment process and is supported by a large evidence-base. In one local authority area in England, NLM was systematically introduced and embedded into staff daily practice across five main services including non-statutory, NHS and young people's services. The study aimed to assess training and adoption of NLM prior to implementation into daily practice. Methods/Results: In total, 123 staff members were trained in NLM concepts across a number of workshops. Staff responses were recorded in a Workshop Evaluation Survey that suggested a high degree of satisfaction with the training provided although ''time'' was identified as a pre-requisite to prepare for implementation. A random sample of staff (n = 44) were followed-up at 6 months and were asked to complete a Workshop Assessment Follow-up schedule alongside participation in focus group interviews. Despite a commitment to NLM, there were mixed perceptions into the efficacy of node-link mapping. Staff concerns focused on lack of perceived ownership of the implementation process and a lack of confidence in using mapping on a regular basis. Managers also reflected reservations with ''traditional'' training methods and how to incorporate new practices into supervision processes. Implications for the dissemination of evidence-base practices are discussed.
