CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS: BUILDING A THERAPEUTIC ALLIANCE WITH ADOLESCENT BOYS

With Andrew P. Smiler, PhD

In this video program, Dr. Andrew P. Smiler works with an adolescent boy who displays characteristics of attention deficit disorder who has been facing difficulty in school due to disruptive behavioral tendencies.

During the session, Dr. Smiler asks a series of questions designed to increase the client's comfort talking about his world, including the motives that drive his behavior.

In the introduction to the video, Dr. Smiler discusses how important it is for therapists treating young male clients to adopt an approach that emphasizes decision-making alongside self-reflection, and to recognize the influence of power - and lack of power - on teen boys' functioning. Dr. Smiler also addresses the importance of risk-taking and therapeutic work based in clients' anger.

CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS: CHILDREN EXPERIENCING FEAR AND ANXIETY

With Bonnie Zucker, PsyD

It is common for children to experience fear and anxiety throughout the course of their young lives, which is why it is important to equip children in therapy with tools and strategies to effectively handle stressful situations and learn how to face their fears.

Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is the most empirically supported approach to treating anxiety disorders, in both children and adults, for several reasons. The approach provides an opportunity for the client to take ownership in the treatment process, fosters social and cognitive learning, and encourages self-regulation and problem-solving skills.

In this video, Dr. Bonnie Zucker works with a young female client to demonstrate specific CBT techniques and strategies to help the child face her fears in a gradual, step-by-step fashion.

CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS: COGNITIVE BEHAVIOR THERAPY FOR ADOLESCENT DEPRESSION

With John F. Curry, PhD

Although peer pressure, stress and self-esteem issues are not new, and have been generally accepted as normal growing pains for adolescents, an increasing issue among today's adolescents is depression.

Fortunately, adolescent depression is a treatable condition: Evidence-based approaches are available and, by sharpening the skills needed to establish an effective working alliance with adolescents and applying these approaches, clinicians can provide excellent treatment.

The cognitive-behavioral approach demonstrated in this program by Dr. John F. Curry is based in developmental psychopathology and social cognitive learning theory, and typically includes behavioral activation, problem-solving, and cognitive restructuring. In the therapy demonstration, Dr. Curry applies his approach to behavioral activation and works with an adolescent teen who is suffering from depression.

RELATIONSHIPS: ADOPTION-SPECIFIC THERAPY IN PRACTICE

With Jill Waterman, PhD

The process for adopting children, especially older children, can often bring a mix of feelings for both parents and child: happiness, anxiety, confusion, sadness and loss, and children may experience significant behavioral and emotional distress. Adoptive families can be helped by adoption-specific therapy that takes into account the child's past trauma and placement history, recognizing that current behavioral issues may have been adaptive in a previous traumatic, chaotic, or neglectful context.

In this program, Dr. Jill Waterman demonstrates the initial parent session of ADAPT, a manualized therapeutic approach that combines evidence-based treatments for children and families with best practices from the attachment and adoption literature. In ADAPT, both parents and children are seen for treatment individually and jointly.

In this video, Dr. Waterman demonstrates this approach with a young mother who has a 5-year-old adopted son.

CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS: MENTALIZATION-BASED TREATMENT WITH A 10-YEAR-OLD BOY

With Norka T. Malberg, PsyD, and Karin Ensink, PhD

Mentalization is an ability that most people naturally develop in late childhood involving the ability to accept that other people's actions derive from inner states and intentions, and the ability to imagine what those inner thoughts and desires might be. Similar to the ability to empathize, mentalization is key to regulating emotions and developing relationships.

Mentalization-based treatment for children seeks to help foster this ability and keep clients aged 5 - 12 on track developmentally.

In this video, Norka Malberg demonstrates this approach with a 10-year old boy with attention-deficit disorder. Dr. Malberg and Karin Ensink discuss highlights from the session and key elements of this therapy.

This video features an actor portraying a client on the basis of a composite of case material.

CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS: PRESCRIPTIVE INTEGRATIVE PLAY THERAPY

With Athena A. Drewes, PsyD, RPT-S

During the period of middle childhood, which occurs between the ages of 6 - 12, children will experience social, emotional, and cognitive developmental changes. Such changes can be challenging for therapists treating children within this age group who may have behavioral and psychological disorders.

Because behavioral and psychological disorders for children and adolescents are multi-layered and complex, often with several overlapping problems, a multifaceted treatment approach is needed.

Dr. Athena A. Drewes' approach to middle childhood play therapy consists of a prescriptive, integrative method. In this video program, Dr. Drewes demonstrates her therapeutic approach with an eight-year-old child who is a victim of bullying in school, has low self-esteem and anger management problems.

In the session, Dr. Drewes checks in with the client, demonstrates a directive approach using play-based techniques that address the presenting problem issues, and then conducts a nondirective, child-led period of time to facilitate relaxation and self-regulation.

CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS: COGNITIVE-BEHAVIORAL GROUP PLAY INTERVENTIONS

With Linda A. Reddy, PhD

In this video, Dr. Linda A. Reddy demonstrates evidence-based approaches to implementing cognitive-behavioral group play interventions with children who are 4-10 years old. Often times, children with neurocognitive and behavioral issues such as ADHD, have trouble interacting with other children and adults.

The cognitive-behavioral approach shown here uses group play interventions to help children develop prosocial skills such as sharing, asking for and offering help. Dr. Reddy's group-play interventions include a multimodal approach that integrates cognitive-behavioral interventions and skill-intensive opportunities for learning through teaching modalities, as well as structured group therapy interventions.

In this video, Dr. Reddy demonstrates cognitive-behavioral group play interventions with four elementary-aged school children through several exercises in developmentally appropriate games.

RELATIONSHIPS: ATTACHMENT-BASED FAMILY THERAPY

With Guy S. Diamond, PhD

Attachment-based family therapy (ABFT) aims to repair interpersonal ruptures and rebuild emotionally protective, secure relationships between family members. With its unique emphasis on the adolescent's developmental need for attachment and autonomy, ABFT aims to facilitate corrective attachment experiences within the therapy session.

Although the model is trauma-focused and process-oriented, it provides a clear structure for this reparative process.

In this video, Dr. Guy S. Diamond discusses the core ABFT principles and clinical strategies, the theoretical basis of the approach, and the evidence base that supports it.

In the demonstration, Dr. Diamond works closely with a mother, a father, and their teenage daughter as they cope with the daughter's struggle with depression and her suicide attempt. Dr. Diamond listens attentively to all family members and then encourages the parents to focus on rebuilding an emotionally protective family structure for their daughter.

This DVD features clients portrayed by actors on the basis of a composite of several cases.

RELATIONSHIPS: FUNCTIONAL FAMILY THERAPY FOR HIGH-RISK ADOLESCENTS

With James F. Alexander, PhD

In Functional Family Therapy for High-Risk Adolescents, James F. Alexander demonstrates his approach to working with families that have teenage children exhibiting behavior issues and associated emotional disruptions.

Teens with behavior problems are one of the most difficult populations with whom therapists work, as adolescents and their families frequently enter treatment against their will, either under legal order or at strong insistence of authority figures such as school administrators. Family interactions can be hostile, and a sense of hopelessness is not uncommon.

Dr. Alexander's approach involves working to increase family motivation to change by disrupting negative attributions they may have about themselves and other family members and replacing these with more positive and adaptive attributions.

In this video, Dr. Alexander works with a mother, father, and their 15-year-old son, who has been exhibiting behavior problems such as drug use and school truancy and who has recently been charged with breaking and entering. The session focuses not only on the son, but also the mother and father, whose relationship has been under significant strain for years due to the mother's own substance use and frequent disappearances from the family. This DVD features clients portrayed by actors on the basis of a composite of several cases.

SPECIFIC TREATMENTS FOR SPECIFIC POPULATIONS: PARENTS OF CHILDREN WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER

With V. Mark Durand, PhD

In Parents of Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder, V. Mark Durand demonstrates his positive parenting approach to working with mothers and fathers of children who have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

ASD is an increasingly common diagnosis among children, and symptoms such as repetitive behaviors and communication deficiencies can challenge parents, often affecting their personal relationships and daily activities. The evidence-based approach demonstrated in this video focuses on increasing a sense of hope in these parents.

In this video, Dr. Durand works with a single-mother of an 8-year old boy with autism spectrum disorder. He helps her see that how she thinks about herself and her son impacts on her relationship with him at home. He then helps her focus on seeing the improvements she has seen in her son's behavior over time, and encourages her to take credit for these positive changes.

CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS: ADOLESCENT BOYS WHO ARE SUICIDAL

With David A. Jobes, PhD, ABPP

In Adolescent Boys Who Are Suicidal, David A. Jobes demonstrates his integrative, problem-solving approach to working with male adolescents who have contemplated or attempted suicide. Preliminary research suggests that although men and male adolescents are more likely to complete suicide compared to females, there is evidence to suggest clinical success if they are engaged in treatment. Dr. Jobes's approach emphasizes the importance of a strong alliance with the client and working to inspire the client's motivation to pursue psychological and behavioral change.

In this session, Dr. Jobes works with a high school-aged boy who seriously considers suicide as an attractive option for escaping problems in his life. Through the course of this session, the teen becomes more hopeful and begins to formulate some sense of his life in the future.

    USING FAMILY SYSTEMS THEORY IN PSYCHOTHERAPY - ASSESSMENT AND ENGAGEMENT IN FAMILY THERAPY

    By Monica McGoldrick

    Whether you're new to family therapy or seeing a new family client, you need a clear and effective framework to navigate this often treacherous terrain. In this new video, legendary family therapist and genogram innovator Monica McGoldrick demonstrates how to engage and assess a family in the initial stage of treatment.

    The systems approach to family therapy has taken root over the past half-century as a prominent and trusted assessment framework. Even as other methods have entered the field, the systems perspective - including the genogram - remains a reliable way of understanding the complex relationships and rich histories that characterize a family. While we now largely accept that family dynamics can influence individual members' healing capacities, we can still feel mystified by how to actually begin a course of family therapy. In this excellent new video resource, family systems expert Monica McGoldrick offers practical tools to help you move forward with adolescents and their families. Over five clinical sessions with the Zapata family, she demonstrates how to integrate specific techniques into treatment focused on helping family clients manage not just their presenting issues, but also the systems-oriented background concerns that underlie them.

    To start, McGoldrick outlines the key principles of early-stage systems therapy and discusses the many judgment calls a family therapist must make. Covering genogram application, the need (or not) for risk assessment, separating family members during a session, and more, McGoldrick illustrates the collaborative yet directive, client-engaging nature of the approach. You'll also find helpful commentary in which McGoldrick generously discusses her frustrations in session and then shows how to clinically address them.

    This video is an essential tool for clinicians who want useful strategies for systems therapy, adolescent therapy and risk assessment, or family-based alliance building.

    By watching this video, you will:
  • Get an expert perspective on systems therapy and its application to adolescents and their families.
  • Learn how to engage parents in a discussion about their respective backgrounds and its collective impact.
  • Find helpful tips for working with immigrant client populations.

    EXPERIENTIAL FAMILY THERAPY

    By Carl Whitaker

    Learn from groundbreaking family therapist Carl Whitaker as he conducts two riveting and instructive initial interviews with a family seeking treatment for their son's ADHD. You can't help but be awed and inspired as you watch this true master in action.

    With a focus on process over progress, a co-created experiential field, and a therapeutic power exchange with the family, Carl Whitaker demonstrates a playfully ruthless brand of family therapy in this two-session video. His own past suicide attempt, "this ADD thing" the son experiences, dad's leveraging his polio for psychological gain, and mom's "conning" people into various states of unconscious compliance all get addressed here, as the renowned family therapist presents a rare live glimpse into the approach that's influenced a generation of subsequent clinicians.

    You'll be shocked and delighted throughout this video - it's truly a classic example of groundbreaking therapy from a one-of-a-kind clinician.

  • Discover the theoretical underpinnings of Whitaker's pioneering approach.

    LEADING GROUPS WITH ADOLESCENTS

    By Janice DeLucia-Waack, PhD & Allen Segrist, PhD

    In this comprehensive DVD featuring a live, unscripted group with actual high school students, two expert group therapists share their extensive knowledge, making this video a must-see for those new to leading groups as well as for experienced group therapists looking to refine their skills.

    One highlight of this video is that it walks the viewer through each stage of a group, giving you a comprehensive understanding of what to do from beginning to end. Beginning with the initial session, you will learn activities to help adolescents get to know each other and become more comfortable in the group, as well as how to talk about ground rules for safety and goal setting.

    Then comes the middle stage of the group, in which the focus shifts to skill development and the learning of new behaviors. Here the group explores how thoughts influence feelings, as well as assertiveness skills and incorporating resilience. Finally, learn how to facilitate the termination of a group, which many group therapists would argue is the most important stage. Watch as the group explores what they have learned and how they have helped each other, as they say goodbye and reflect on their time together.

    Another bonus to this video is the time the co-leaders and moderator spend reflecting on the group and processing what occurs. This gives the viewer a great degree of insight into the thinking processes of the co-leaders and why they chose specific activities and interventions. The video ends with a lively and candid discussion among the co-leaders and the moderator, in which the group members participate and add their input on how the group was for them.

    By watching this video, you will:
  • Learn how to create a therapeutic environment for adolescents that is fun and engaging as well as safe and structured.
  • Discover techniques that help teens tap into their inner strength and resilience.
  • Understand how to facilitate activities and discussions that foster self-discovery and interpersonal learning.

    MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING FOR ADOLESCENT HEALTH BEHAVIOR

    By Cathy Cole

    Learn how to effectively support and empower adolescents dealing with health concerns using Motivational Interviewing skills and techniques.

    In this course, MI trainer Cathy Cole, LCSW, outlines the basic principles of MI known as the "MI Spirit," and together with colleague Nikki Cockern, PhD, demonstrates how to apply these principles in 4 sessions with high school and college-age teens dealing with serious health issues: HIV, weight management, Type 1 diabetes, and risky sexual behavior.

    Covering the four MI processes, change talk and sustain talk, and "the righting reflex" - our natural yet ill-advised urge to "fix" our clients - Cole emphasizes the method's nonjudgmental, client-centered nature.

    In sessions with Sean, Carlotta, Olga, and Missy, you'll observe how to use MI to manage risk, communicate nonjudgment, deepen rapport, and draw out your clients' innate strengths. This video also offers realistic commentary, in which Cole discusses both the successes and the challenges of each session and how to work with your own "righting reflex."

    You will see why MI is so widely adopted in health-care settings and how its spirit of collaboration reduces resistance and promotes adolescent interest in change.

    MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING FOR ADOLESCENT SUBSTANCE USE

    By Sebastian Kaplan, PhD, & Ali Hall, JD

    Acquire practical Motivational Interviewing tools to help you manage challenging sessions with adolescent clients struggling with substance use.

    Working with adolescents can be challenging enough without adding substance use issues to the mix. When teens' age-appropriate desire for autonomy gets compromised by substance use and addiction, it can be difficult for clinicians to effectively navigate heightened levels of client ambivalence alongside their own "righting reflex" - their desire to fix their clients.

    In this compelling new video, Sebastian Kaplan, PhD, and Ali Hall, JD, demonstrate how to manage these elements using tools from Motivational Interviewing, a client-centered alternative to traditional, often confrontational addiction treatment. Here, you'll discover how to deepen rapport, diffuse resistance, and draw out adolescent clients' intrinsic strengths.

    Learn strategies to engage teenage clients who do not even want to be in your office, much less receive treatment, through clinical demonstrations with three adolescent clients using marijuana, heroin, and opiates. Develop your skills to support adolescent clients, without conveying the disrespect they might expect from adults in authority roles.

    This course is a must If you're seeking resources for teens, addiction and recovery, or client-centered counseling.

    MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING IN JUVENILE JUSTICE SETTINGS

    By Ali Hall

    Without a strong alliance and clear boundaries, mandated clients will often shut down or act out - especially if they are teenagers. How do you work to meet both institutional and clinical goals? Here, Motivational Interviewing expert Ali Hall demonstrates how to use this collaborative approach in juvenile justice settings.

    Are you looking for an alternative to the directive approaches traditionally used in Juvenile Justice settings? Working with mandated clients is a complicated endeavor to begin with, but when your clients are teens who are seeking - and testing the limits of - their autonomy, treatment can easily backfire without a collaborative working alliance.

    In this course Ali Hall, JD, and her colleagues demonstrate how to reach effective outcomes with juvenile justice clients using Motivational Interviewing (MI). Through demonstrations with 4 clients, you will see how MI enables the counselors to partner with teens in ways that validate and empower them, even within the confines of the correctional system. What's more, you'll learn how to sidestep the urge to advise, direct, or confront struggling youth.

    See how MI provides Hall with the tools to build a strong alliance with Samantha, on probation for marijuana possession, and how it enables her to take responsibility for her own behavior. Daniel Domaguin will show you how to deescalate angry clients using MI techniques in juvenile hall, while Deborah Collins demonstrates both MI-compliant and non-compliant approaches working with Tony, a teen mandated to counseling for substance use.

    Finally, a roundtable discussion with the 3 counselors demonstrates how to provide ongoing coaching support for your staff.

    This highly praised course fills a much-needed gap for training staff and counselors in this challenging environment.

    MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING WITH ADOLESCENTS: CORE CONCEPTS

    By Sebastian Kaplan

    Learn how to apply Motivational Interviewing principles to resistant adolescent clients and how to support and empower them to change their destructive behaviors.

    In this course, Sebastian Kaplan, PhD, demonstrates how to successfully apply MI in 4 individual and family sessions with 2 thirteen-year-old girls.

    Marley's falling grades and increased truancy and Katie's self-harming behavior in response to bullying have brought them into a therapist's office. Watch as Kaplan demonstrates how to use MI to manage risk, deepen rapport, and draw out his clients' innate strengths. This video also offers in-depth commentary, in which Kaplan openly discusses his frustrations in session and then shows how to make therapeutic use of them.

    In addition to an overview of Motivational Interviewing (MI) and its application to adolescents, you will learn how to bring parents into the clinical picture and discover helpful tools for working with your own internal responses to clients.

    This course is an excellent resource for clinicians who want useful strategies for Motivational Interviewing, adolescent therapy, or family-based interventions.

    By Virginia Satir

    You'll be impressed with how deeply Virginia Satir engages Bob, Betty, Aaron, and Robbie in this session, structured to include the family all together as well as in separate dyads. Bob, a recovering alcoholic, holds custody of Aaron (age 4) and Robbie (age 3), his sons from a previous marriage to a woman who abuses them even as he fights for a restraining order.
