CET (Cognitive Enhancement Therapy) is not cognitive behavioral therapy. Nor does it focus on teaching “skills”. CET helps individuals develop and enhance the mental capacities that produce the awareness for self-directed social interactions that are wise, appropriate, and effective. (please see CBT or CET on the FAQ's page).
Samuel M. Flesher, Ph. D., the co-developer of CET, was recruited by PLAN of NE Ohio to come to Cleveland in 2000 to establish the first CET Program outside of academia. Over the next nine years, the CET Program in Cleveland has been extensively field tested and refined under the guidance of Dr. Flesher. A user friendly manual has been written and is continually updated.
Starting in 2004, CETCleveland ™ has been disseminated to nine sites in four states. 67 CET groups have been completed; 14 groups are currently being run and six groups are in the process of recruiting members. All the sites report similar results with 90% attendance, 85% graduation rate and CET graduates truly progressing in their recovery. Currently there are eight dissemination sites in development across the USA.
CETCleveland™ is a program offered by the Center for Cognition and Recovery, LLC(CCR). The CCR is a non-profit joint venture developed by JFSA of Cleveland and PLAN of NE Ohio, Inc. to disseminate CETCleveland™ to other mental health providers. CETCleveland™ has truly been a transformative treatment for our clients, their families, our staff and our organizations. We want to share this remarkable treatment as widely as possible. Please call Ray Gonzalez at 216-504-6428 for more information on how to set up a CETCleveland™ in your community.
