This doctoral thesis is about psychological treatments for cocaine/crack users, and has 4 articles, structured in the form of sessions. Session 1 is the theoretical chapter, which aimed to present a literature review of treatments offered for crack users, through a systematic review of international and national literature indexed in Medline, SciELO, LILACS, and Web of Science using the descriptors crack or cocaine or cocaine smokers (crack) and psychosocial treatment or psychotherapy or psychological treatment (psychological treatment) including articles published in the period of 2001-2011. The results show that there is no consensus on the effectiveness of crack users treatment, the few efforts to compare techniques resulted in evidence of little or no difference, although there are registered benefits in the application of any those. In session II, a randomized clinical trial is presented in order to evaluate the effectiveness of a group intervention program for cocaine/crack users. The findings of this study suggest that the intervention was effective for readiness for behavior change and for the maintenance of abstinence in the first two weeks post-treatment. Session III, aimed to evaluate and compare therapists skills for using the principles of motivational interviewing through Motivational Interviewing Treatment Integrity (MITI) scale. As a result it was found that the therapists from the group (TTM + MI) were competent in the overall score of the MI spirit, in the percentage of complex reflections and in the percentage of MI adherent; when compared to the control group (Psychoeducation), there was significant difference in all MITI scale scores. The purpose of the session IV, was to verify possible associations and cognitive performance influence in readiness for change in cocaine/crack users. The WCST, WAIS-III subtests, the URICA, and the readiness to change scale were applied in a 113 users sample. The results showed significant correlations between the presence of cognitive deficits and lower degrees of motivation. Multiple regression analyzes showed levels of influence of cognitive tests performance increasing the subject s readiness to change. Thus, it can be inferred that cognitive performance correlates to readiness for behavior change in cocaine/crack users.
