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.

RELATIONSHIPS: INTEGRATIVE SYSTEMIC THERAPY WITH COUPLES

With William M. Pinsof, PhD, ABPP, LMFT

In Integrative Systemic Therapy With Couples, Dr. William M. Pinsof demonstrates and discusses an approach that integrates diverse therapeutic strategies and techniques within a multisystemic sequential framework that transcends the notion of the individual, couple, or family.

Integrative systemic therapy intervenes in a client system, working with the members of that system who are directly involved in therapy while simultaneously considering the indirect system, those members of the client system not "in the room."

Although the direct client system in this work is typically the couple, the indirect system in which the couple is embedded - children, parents, siblings, and friends - remains part of the purview of the therapeutic work.

In this video, Dr. Pinsof demonstrates this approach with a young African American married couple coming into therapy to resolve issues surrounding their relationship.

RELATIONSHIPS: RESTORING TRUST AFTER INFIDELITY

With Lawrence Josephs, PhD

Infidelity in any relationship creates devastating feelings of loss and betrayal, and can potentially result in insecure attachment bonds and subsequent separation or divorce. Couples seeking therapeutic intervention want to recover and repair the rupture, but often times are not sure how to push past what seems like an impasse - the betrayed partner suffers from hurt and anger, while the unfaithful partner suffers from shame and guilt.

In Restoring Trust After Infidelity, Dr. Lawrence Josephs demonstrates his integrative mentalization-based approach for helping couples manage conflicts and emotional dysregulation.

In the therapy demonstration, Dr. Josephs works with a couple engaged to be married who have suffered from issues stemming from infidelity. Applying his approach, Dr. Josephs helps the couple to effectively manage negative interaction patterns and begin to restore trust and develop more secure attachment bonds.

RELATIONSHIPS: WORKING WITH ISSUES IN DIVORCE

With Jay Lebow, PhD, ABPP

Divorce is stressful for partners, children, and other family members, causing problematic thoughts and behaviors. High levels of conflict often occur, usually surrounding difficulties in establishing the structure crucial in post-divorce life, such as the custody of children, how much time children spend in each parent's household, and other coparenting factors.

For this reason, it is not uncommon for one or both partners to come into therapy seeking help. Dr. Jay Lebow's approach requires first generating a comprehensive picture of what is occurring in the entire family - including those not in the room - and only then developing a plan for helping each family member. The central therapeutic task is to help clients best use available resources to ameliorate the difficulties they are experiencing.

In Working With Issues in Divorce, Dr. Lebow demonstrates this pragmatic, integrative system for working with families struggling through divorce.

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.

SYSTEMS OF PSYCHOTHERAPY: ATTACHMENT-BASED PSYCHOTHERAPY IN PRACTICE

With Peter C. Costello, PhD

Early attachment experiences with our primary caregivers shape the adults that we become. The goals of attachment-based psychotherapy are to address the limiting effects of negative early attachment experiences and to strengthen the capacity for secure relationships and adaptive actions in the world.

To do this, the therapist first establishes a security-engendering therapeutic relationship with the patient and then within that relationship helps the client to elaborate and express the types of communications, emotions, perceptions, and behaviors that were defensively excluded in earlier, formative relationships with attachment figures. As a result, the client becomes better able to communicate openly and accurately and to access more adaptive feelings, thoughts, and behaviors in his or her own life.

In this video, Dr. Peter C. Costello discusses the theoretical basis of attachment-based psychotherapy, and explores with a client the origins of her inability to communicate her needs and fears to those on whom she most depends.

PSYCHOTHERAPY IN SIX SESSIONS: FAMILY THERAPY OVER TIME

With Susan H. McDaniel, PhD

In Family Therapy Over Time, Dr. Susan H. McDaniel demonstrates this approach to working with clients. Family therapy focuses on changing interactions among people so as to alleviate a client family's presenting problem. Although family therapists ideally want to involve as many family members in the therapy as possible, family therapy may be conducted with a single client. Whether working with one client or a family unit, therapists look at the family system, as well as the community, school, or work systems, to determine ways to help clients improve their lives.

In this series of six sessions, Dr. McDaniel works with a mother, father, and one of their daughters, a teenager from the mother's previous marriage. The family presents with what they call a communication breakdown between the daughter and her mother, as well as with conflict over the daughter's sexual activity with her boyfriend.

In the early sessions, Dr. McDaniel gathers information from the family to create a genogram - a diagram that depicts the family genealogical relationships and the history and quality of those relationships. In ongoing sessions, the genogram will help Dr. McDaniel and the family understand how the system of interactions in the immediate family and in past generations may contribute to the issues they are presently working on.

BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND HEALTH COUNSELING: TREATING ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE THROUGH CAREGIVER FAMILY THERAPY

With Sara Honn Qualls, PhD

In Treating Alzheimer's Disease Through Caregiver Family Therapy, Dr. Sara Honn Qualls demonstrates her approach to helping families care for loved ones with Alzheimer's disease. Caregiver Family Therapy (CFT) assists families with recognizing, interpreting, and taking action to address symptoms of growing cognitive impairment while continuing to meet the needs of multiple family members.

In this session, Dr. Qualls works with a young African American woman named Michelle who is married with a family. Her mother, who lives with the client's disabled sister, is becoming less and less able to take care of herself. The night before the session, her mother called 911 to accuse Michelle's sister of abuse. This false accusation is seen as a harbinger of changes that will need to be made in Michelle's sister's living arrangement because of her mother's decline.

In the session, Michelle begins to realize that her caregiving is having a negative impact on her family and marriage. Dr. Qualls helps Michelle to explore restructuring the family and to develop a list of tasks that need to be accomplished to protect the well-being of her mother, sister, and herself and her family.

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.

    INTIMATE HISTORY OF FAMILY THERAPY, AN

    By Hoffman, Lynn

    In an intimate conversation with Harlene Anderson, Lynn Hoffman discusses the evolution of the postmodern edge of family therapy. Hoffman has been the historian of many of the theories developed in family therapy and her relationships with the pioneers of these ideas. Particular attention is focused on the early eighties where she describes the differences in the views of the epistemologists (who were contruct-ivists and engineers) and the practitioners of family therapy. She also discusses the dilemma of finding the clinical work of social constructionism disappointing to audiences, questioning if they have preconceived ideas about what it is to be in conversation. This is an informative interview for those who don't yet understand social constructionist ideas.

    USING FAMILY SYSTEMS THEORY IN PSYCHOTHERAPY - COUPLES THERAPY: A FAMILY SYSTEMS APPROACH

    By Monica McGoldrick

    Learn from seasoned family therapist Monica McGoldrick how bringing family-of-origin issues into couples therapy can help you pinpoint the root of the problem, make more targeted interventions, and ultimately "unstick" a couple struggling with insecurity and distrust.

    Monica McGoldrick understands the complexities and clinical pitfalls of wading into the depths of complex relationships. Having worked extensively with couples and families, she knows how clinicians become mired in presenting problems and interminable conflicts. Contemporary therapists tend to over-focus on the present. In contrast, McGoldrick widens the clinical gaze so the past is brought into sharp relief in the couple's present relationship. McGoldrick reminds us that who we are flows from race, culture, family of origin narratives, gender and life-cycle issues - and only by considering these critical factors can we be most effective with our clients.

    In this six-session clinical exploration of John and Barbara's 12-year marriage, McGoldrick explores their current relationship challenges in the context of dramatic and palpable family-of-origin relations. John, soon to arrive at age 50, distances himself from his family, a poignant re-enactment of his father's behavior years before. Barbara, still reeling from her father's departure from the family when she was the same age as her daughter is currently, is insecure and untrusting.

    Through her finely attuned empathy, McGoldrick masterfully weaves intergenerational threads through this couple's gripping family narrative...a clinical page-turner. You can't help but learn and be inspired by seeing her in action.
