In the final session, the therapist and client work together to apply these values and personality traits in a search for a fulfilling career paths.

    In these two three-session sets, Dr. Savickas works with two men in their 20s.

    BUILDING A SUCCESSFUL CAREER IN COUNSELING AND PSYCHOTHERAPY

    By Sherry Smith, PhD & Susan Smith, LPC

    Amid an ever-changing field, what are the most important things a beginning therapist should know? In this video, six seasoned clinicians discuss career paths, benefits and pitfalls of the work, successful business practices, and ways to prevent burnout.

    More than ever before, new therapists are faced with a rapidly changing field that offers a dizzying array of theoretical approaches, licensure options, and business models. Amid these mystifying career prospects, what are the most important things a beginning therapist should know? In this video, a panel of six seasoned clinicians discuss their career paths, benefits and pitfalls of the work, successful business practices, and ways to prevent burnout.

    Over the hour-long video, this diverse group (including MSWs, LPCs, a former HR worker with an MBA, a former musician, and a woman with a more intuitive approach to the work) speak to six different topics: traveling along the career pathway, the ebbs and flows of private practice, getting a job, concerns about the field, managing burnout, and a word to the wise. Firmly opinionated, they discuss everything from the joy of watching clients "become powerful" and the incredible variety of skills one can employ (i.e., blending private practice with university teaching and speaking) to the pressures of maintaining health insurance and "keeping the lights on" in private practice, as well as the manipulative clients that may enter your office.

    You'll gain valuable information about a range of issues, a primer on the need to leverage your social networks to find choice jobs, and tips for making your practice burnout-resistant. With plenty of useful food for thought, this is a great resource for those just starting out or those supporting new therapists' growth.

    By watching this video, you will:
  • Understand several possible educational, clinical, and blended career paths available to counselors and psychotherapists.
  • Discover business strategies and the importance of leveraging your social networks to find jobs.
  • Learn ways to practice adequate self-care and prevent burnout.

    CAREER COUNSELING IN ACTION: TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES

    By Spencer G.Niles, EdD and Norman Amundson, PhD

    Learn to utilize your counseling and therapy skills to help clients gain clarity and direction in their careers by watching several experienced career counselors work with actual clients.

    While career counseling is a distinct approach to working with client issues, its overlap with traditional psychotherapy is undeniable; after all, many clients enter therapy seeking career guidance, and many career counselors find themselves supporting clients through deeper issues. If you've been curious about the specific tools used in vocational guidance, this is the video for you. Featuring interviews with career counselors and clients, segments of actual sessions with people experiencing a range of vocational issues, and an overview of the skills and techniques used, this engaging resource offers perspective and interventions that both types of practitioners can begin using immediately.

    Here, you'll watch several career counselors conduct fruitful sessions with five real clients: Bud, a charismatic high school graduate seeking a people-oriented first career; Melanie, a spirited mid-career woman contemplating next steps after an unexpected layoff; Angela, a talented young dancer who wants to become a choreographer but is unclear on the best path; Jeff, a sought-after college student evaluating which route to take; and Val, a middle-aged woman with occasional depression who's choosing entrepreneurship after a challenging career setback.

    Like psychotherapists, career counselors must work with client resistance, misperceptions, and self-defeating behaviors, and you'll see how each is managed within the context of this approach. You'll also get a feel for a range of field-specific exercises, such as written self-assessments, the career wheel, brainstorming, and developing metaphors. Finally, you'll understand how these structured activities are integrated with interventions from psychotherapy, including empathy and reframes, identifying client strengths, and role playing. By the video's end, each client reports feeling more hopeful, more confident, and more in control of their future - along with having a concrete action plan.

    By watching this video, you will:
  • Understand the core skills career counseling that also apply to psychotherapy.
  • Learn how career counseling utilizes structured activities to support a client's search.
  • Discover essential interventions for developing and broadening a client's sense of possibility.
