This video demonstration explores a cancer survivor's journey and unique psychosocial stressors. The goal of this therapy is to identify unmet emotional needs, provide support, and help the client to cope constructively with the uncertain outcomes associated with cancer.

With Anne C. Dobmeyer, PhD, ABPP
The expansion of behavioral health integration in primary care settings over the past two decades has been facilitated by significant developments in models of integrated care.
In the primary care behavioral health model of integration, clinicians are integrated into primary care as behavioral health consultants to provide focused, evidence-based assessment and intervention to patients as well as consultative recommendations to the primary care provider. This arrangement of systemic and holistic care encourages patients and families to learn and implement self-management strategies that improve functioning and quality of life while also decreasing symptoms.
In this video program, Dr. Anne Dobmeyer demonstrates her work as a behavioral health consultant with a patient who is experiencing difficulties with managing diabetes, and shows also how a psychologist and primary care physician work together to provide seamless, team-based care.

With Kevin Nadal

However, as forensic mental health counselors, it is important to remember to see clients as human beings, understand how their environment influences their development, and empower them to reach their full potential. Dr. Kevin Nadal conducts a counseling session with Rich, a sexual offender just released from jail and mandated to counseling. Dr. Nadal employs humanistic theory, focusing on developing rapport, showing empathy and unconditional positive regard, and empowering Rich by using strength-based techniques. In the second scenario, Dr. Nadal counsels Cammie, a survivor of rape, who is in her first session with Dr. Nadal. Dr. Nadal employs humanistic client centered techniques. He is aware of the legal issues Cammie may face and while he can't provide any legal advice, he offers a safe space for Cammie to discuss her feelings and help make optimal decisions.

With Ann Mary Kearney-Cooke, PhD
In Weight Loss and Control, Dr. Ann Mary Kearney-Cooke demonstrates her approach to helping clients with issues about weight. Clients who have concerns about weight typically go through a cycle of dieting and bingeing. Dr. Kearney-Cooke works with clients to stop this unhealthy pattern by teaching them self-regulatory skills as well as forming realistic weight loss goals. She uses a cognitive-behavioral approach combined with interpersonal therapy, as oftentimes, clients overeat in part because of relationship issues.
In this session, Dr. Kearney-Cooke works with a client who has struggled with losing weight for many years. Following the birth of her child almost 1 year ago, the client reports that she lost a lot of weight; however, she has been unable to keep the weight off and is now interested in developing healthy eating habits and learning how to maintain weight loss. Dr. Kearney-Cooke takes an inventory of the client's history, her strengths, and her daily demands and resources. Dr. Kearney-Cooke then teaches her strategies for portion control as well as ways to set boundaries around mealtime that will result in more mindful eating.

With David R. Patterson, PhD, ABPP
In Hypnosis for Pain Control, Dr. David R. Patterson demonstrates this helpful therapeutic technique. Hypnosis is a powerful tool for helping clients to access personal resources to assist them in controlling pain. Although hypnosis can be used with chronic pain, in this context it is typically best used over a number of sessions in conjunction with psychotherapy. On the other hand, hypnosis for acute pain - typically from medical procedures such as surgery, trauma, or child birth - may be beneficial even if used in a single session.
In this session, Dr. Patterson works with a woman with a rare form of cancer who has a tumor on her spine that causes burning, stabbing pain, interfering with her sleep. Dr. Patterson first educates the client about hypnosis, then takes her through an induction that gives her access to internal resources that help her to feel less pain and greater comfort.

With G. Terence Wilson, PhD
In Problems of Eating and Weight Management, Dr. G. Terence Wilson demonstrates his approach to working with clients who are having trouble with binge eating and weight control. This problem occurs frequently, primarily among women, and has at its root various negative self-beliefs about the body that are exacerbated by the client's practice of binge eating. Dr. Wilson uses cognitive-behavioral therapy to help the client replace binge eating with more healthy eating habits, first by working with the client to stop current unhealthy behavior and become aware of the triggers for binge eating, and then by addressing dysfunctional thoughts and attitudes about body shape and weight.
In this session, Dr. Wilson works with a client who is obese and meets the criteria for binge eating disorder. Dr. Wilson teaches the concept of self-monitoring to help the client become aware of how and when she binges so she can begin to identify the antecedents and consequences that precede and perpetuate this behavior

With Judith Beck, PhD
Clients with weight issues frequently become caught in a vicious cycle of losing weight and gaining it back, impairing their ability to enjoy their lives fully. At the same time, many therapists struggle with how to be helpful to these clients. In this video of an actual session, Dr. Judith Beck works with Anne to develop practical skills that will enable her to lose weight and make enduring changes to her lifestyle.
Anne has struggled all her life with food and weight issues and has dieted dozens of times, only to gain the weight back. In this very human, and touching session, Beck emphasizes the development of a new set of skills as the crucial element of weight loss. Beck takes an extensive dieting historyˇXincluding Anne's assessment of "good eating days" and "bad eating days," she identifies Anne's motivations for losing weight and teaches self-motivation techniques, and she prepares Ann to recover quickly from the inevitable mistakes she will make. Other techniques she uses include identifying the obstacles that may prevent Anne from making these changes, strategizing solutions, exploring Anne's eating triggers and working with Anne's "all-or-nothing" approach to dieting.
While Beck bases her approach on the core principles of Cognitive Therapy, the tools and techniques demonstrated in this video can be integrated with many types of therapeutic styles and will be useful to any therapist working with clients with weight issues.
By watching this program, you will:
Learn Beck's approach to weight loss and maintenance, including the specific techniques used to help people lose weight and keep it off.
Be able to identify common pitfalls dieters face and Beck's recommendations for preventing these pitfalls.
Learn how to structure an initial session with a client who wants to lose weight.

By Milton Viederman
Therapists of all orientations will benefit from seeing how psychoanalytic and psychodynamic principles can be effectively adapted to short-term therapy with clients and patients facing issues of grief, death and dying.
Milton Viederman, MD, brings his psychoanalytic orientation to actual hospital consultations with cancer patients.
In this companion volume, Viederman continues his exploration of the application of psychoanalytic principles to brief therapy. While many of us feel comfortable meeting clients on our own turf, we are often less certain how to navigate the therapeutic relationship in a hospital setting with visibly ill patients. Working quickly to assess the conscious and unconscious coping mechanisms that affect the patient's experience of illness and treatment, Viederman's main objective is to create a supportive relationship and relive patient distress. Interspersed with illuminating commentary, Viederman skillfully demonstrates when to probe defensive structures and when to leave them alone so as not to increase the patient's anxiety.
By watching Volume II, you will be able to:
Describe the specific techniques used in Viederman's approach to brief psychodynamic treatment.
Identify the basic principles of Viederman's approach to working with people who are dealing with the sickness and death of a loved one.
Explain how a clinician employing Viederman's approach would conduct an initial interview with someone dealing with death, dying, and grief.

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.
