Counseling and Psychology
With lore m. dickey, PhD, and Anneliese A. Singh, PhD, LPC
In this video, Drs. lore m. dickey and Anneliese A. Singh explore the different dimensions of providing affirmative counseling when working with transgender, nonbinary, and gender diverse clients.
This approach is based on theories of gender affirmation, intersectionality, multiculturalism, and social justice, all of which are applied to build a strong foundation for the therapeutic relationship. Attention to issues of cisgender privilege and the importance of psychologist self-reflection are emphasized, in addition to the role of psychologists as social justice advocates and change agents.
In this program, Dr. Singh demonstrates this approach with an agender person who is dealing with social anxiety and unresolved issues with being able to use the workplace restroom. Later in the program, Drs. dickey and Singh discuss the demonstration session and analyze the approach.

With Pratyusha Tummala-Narra, PhD
In Culturally Informed Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, Dr. Pratyusha Tummala-Narra demonstrates her approach to psychotherapy that involves an integration of contemporary psychoanalytic theory, multicultural psychology, and feminist psychology.
Her theoretical understanding of clients' presenting issues is based on the idea that individual development is shaped by interpersonal, sociocultural, and systemic factors and circumstances. She presents a model for a psychoanalytic, culturally informed psychotherapy which extends existing conceptualizations within psychoanalysis and psychology to a deeper understanding of the interplay between the individual and his/her sociocultural world, and its influence on identity, relationships, and psychological well-being.
In this video, Dr. Tummala-Narra demonstrates this approach to therapy with a Caucasian woman who is coming into therapy to deal with deep-rooted feelings regarding race and racial tension.
This video features a client portrayed by an actor on the basis of actual case material.

With Donald F. Walker, PhD
Many clients rely on spiritual beliefs and religious faith as a source of strength, and trauma can challenge such resources just when they are most required. Therefore, it is important that therapists know how to facilitate restoration of a client's faith system while incorporating it into the therapy to treat the trauma effectively.
The approach demonstrated in this video is integrative, combining elements of traditional trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy with spiritually oriented psychotherapy.
Spiritually oriented trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy has underlying treatment components that initially teach affect regulation before helping participants to identify links between non-trauma related cognitions, feelings, and behaviors. Trauma processing occurs by identifying and correcting trauma related cognitive distortions in a client narratives about trauma. It is important to initially assess the client's spirituality and religious beliefs at the outset of therapy and to, when appropriate, incorporate aspects of their faith during treatment.
In this video, Dr. Donald F. Walker demonstrates this approach with a young woman who was sexually assaulted and is now struggling with restoring her faith.
This video features a client portrayed by an actor on the basis of actual case material.

We live in an increasingly multicultural world. When we interact with people from racial, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds different from our own, tension and stress sometimes arise, especially when we are not accustomed to interacting with those outside our social identity group. Our values, beliefs, and hidden assumptions can lead to discomfort and confrontation in group settings. This can have the effect of the 'fight or flight' response in participants.
This video will develop awareness and understanding of the racial , ethnic, and cultural dynamics that occur in groups and organizations. This video will instruct viewers in acknowledging rather than ignoring those differences and tensions, and will instruct viewers in discussing those differences openly and constructively.

With Pamela A. Hays, PhD
In Culturally Responsive Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Over Time, Dr. Pamela A. Hays demonstrates an approach to therapy that focuses on helping alleviate a client's presenting issues in a manner best suited to the client's cultural identity, context, and preferences.
This approach seeks ways to explain and adapt techniques so that they make sense from the client's perspective. Such adaptation validates the client's experiences, which in turn can encourage the client to consider the need for change, resulting in overall greater therapeutic effectiveness.
In this program, Dr. Hays demonstrates her approach over the course of six sessions with a middle-aged Polish-American woman experiencing anxiety and depression. Using culturally adaptive language, Dr. Hays works with the client to change unhelpful thoughts to more empowering ones, and helps her to recognize her faith as a potent resource during this process of change.

With Allen Ivey, Cirecie West-Olatunji, Patricia Arrendondo, Thomas Parham
In any counseling or psychology program, classes in theory are arguably some of the most important and relevant courses of study. Lessons in theoretical insight provide the foundation needed to understand the dynamics of human behavior and choose the therapeutic approach most appropriate to specific clients and situations.
Counseling and psychology theories are often grouped into five key approaches, known as the "Five Forces". This video collection helps effectively link theory to practice by offering demonstrations that deconstruct these key theories.
Part I provides interviews with leading scholars and experts of each counseling force. These interviews discuss each theory's past evolution, conceptualization of client problem, role for the counselor, key techniques, and future directions. Part II shows counseling sessions with the same client from an expert in each force and concludes with a debriefi?ng session.

With Lillian Comas-Diaz, PhD
Culture influences how a client develops and expresses emotional distress and how that distress is healed through therapeutic intervention. Multicultural Care in Practice emphasizes culturally adapting psychotherapy to the needs of the clients, employing cultural competence to maximally connect with clients.
Becoming culturally competent involves a clinical commitment to gaining knowledge and awareness of the client's attitudes, which enables the clinician to intellectually, affectively, and culturally empathize with the client and demonstrate cultural sensitivity - showing awareness, interest, and commitment to recognizing the client's culture in all aspects of the therapeutic relationship.
Multicultural care practitioners recognize the importance of clinical competence. However, they also recognize the value of cultural competence, and research indicates that clients who perceive their therapist to be culturally competent have better outcomes in therapy.
In this demonstration, Dr. Lillian Comas-Diaz works with an African American woman who is making a decision about dating a partner outside of her own culture. Dr. Comas-Diaz demonstrates cultural empathy in working with the client, discussing how this decision will impact the client's relationship with her family and how to preserve that relationship while remaining true to herself.

Leadership skill development is an important goal for women and men of color. Diversity in leadership is a "compelling interest"? in order to ensure adequate representation of the United States' wide-ranging demographics and to improve legitimacy in the eyes of the citizenry. Culture and gender as identity variables can affect a leader's style, behavior, emergence, and effectiveness in many ways. The presentation includes descriptions of challenges, strategies for effective leadership, and personal examples from Dr. Vasquez's years spent in leadership roles, most recently as president of the American Psychological Association.

In Culturally Responsive Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy in Practice, Pamela A. Hays demonstrates her change-oriented approach to psychotherapy, adapting mainstream cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT) to fit the client's cultural identity, context, and preferences.
Key aspects of culturally responsive CBT include acceptance of core cultural beliefs, an emphasis on culturally related strengths and supports, and validation of the client's experiences of oppression with consideration of the need for environmental change. The culturally responsive thought-change process involves reconsideration of the helpfulness of thoughts rather than their rationality or validity. Culturally congruent homework is developed in close collaboration with the client.
Using everyday, culturally relevant language to describe and explain CBT, Dr. Hays works with a young African American Christian woman to recognize the client's culture as a potent source of strength and motivation.

With William Ming Liu, PhD
Dr. William Ming Liu presents his worldview model of psychotherapy, which focuses on the client's personal history and the messages they have received about social class.
Dr. Liu interviews the client, a young female from an immigrant family, at length about her earlier experiences with class and how they influenced her social perspective throughout her life. As the discussion unfolds, therapist and client work together to establish understanding of the roles that the client has played to fit in socially.
Dr. Liu uses questioning to allow the client the opportunity to articulate her experience through a new language of her perception of social class, helping her to feel understood. As she starts to reveal herself through her experiences, the client lets go of older coping styles that obscure her emotions and identity as a member of an immigrant family.

With Anderson J. Franklin, PhD
In Working With African American Men, Anderson J. Franklin demonstrates his integrative approach to working with this population.
Most men come to therapy with reservations, and oftentimes these surround gender and identity issues. Therapists working with men often need to focus on connecting with the client before deeper therapeutic work can begin. In the case of African American male clients, these reservations about therapy may be also affected by the client's racial identity, particularly if the therapist is from another racial background.
In this video, Franklin first engages with a male client, developing a personal connection by using a more conversational style, before they turn to the client's struggle with issues of racial identity in different social contexts.

With Melba J. T. Vasquez, PhD,
In Multicultural Therapy Over Time, Melba J. T. Vasquez demonstrates this important and influential model, one that has recently infused a number of approaches to psychotherapy. Multicultural therapy takes into consideration racial and ethnic diversity as well as diversity in spirituality, sexual orientation, disabilities, and class, and the potential cultural bias of practitioners. Although there is no single multicultural therapy, multicultural theory has influenced many approaches to be more sensitive to the history of the oppressed and marginalized, acculturation issues, and the politics of power.
Dr. Vasquez demonstrates her own approach, which contains three elements:
cultural sensitivity (an awareness and appreciation of human cultural diversity)
cultural knowledge (including factual information about cultural variation)
cultural empathy (the ability to connect emotionally with the patient's cultural perspective)
In this approach, one must make decisions about when and how a person's problems relate to or are mediated by cultural factors, as not every problem is necessarily related to or best treated by emphasizing culture.
In this DVD, Dr. Vasquez works with a 27-year old woman whose husband has been abusive physically and emotionally. The client is Native American, but was adopted by a White European American family when she was an infant; however, she is highly interested in her birth family and Native heritage. The client wishes to end her marriage, but she feels trapped in her current situation because she has only a high school diploma and few skills. Dr. Vasquez works with the client over the course of six sessions to help increase her sense of empowerment so that she is able to take control of her life.

With Joseph M. Cervantes, PhD, ABPP
In Counseling Latina/Latino Clients Using a Family Systems Perspective, Dr. Joseph M. Cervantes demonstrates an indigenous therapeutic approach integrated with more mainstream psychological practice. This model, which he calls Mestizo spirituality, is a narrative approach that sees physical illness and psychological issues as interpersonal stories that, once told and understood, can provide meaning to the client. In this approach, the therapist takes on the role of a guide or cojourneyer helping to foster a healing environment for the clients.
Working with Latina/Latino clients involves assessing their level of acculturation, something that varies depending not only on how recently the clients have come to the United States, but on how the client's family relates to their culture and community.
In this session, Dr. Cervantes does a spiritual assessment of a young woman who is struggling with family issues, primarily her separation from her husband, who had been abusive and unsupportive of her life goals. Dr. Cervantes assesses the client's strengths, helping her to see that she may already have the skills and support to move beyond what she has experienced in the past as well as to handle the problems she currently faces.

In Inclusive Cultural Empathy in Practice, Drs. Paul B. Pedersen and Jon Carlson demonstrate how to use this relationship-centered, empathic framework to enhance and deepen therapy. Empathy, as defined in the Western context, centers on an individualistic interpretation of human desires, pain, and reasons for seeking help. This DVD discusses and demonstrates ways to reach beyond this individualistic perspective toward a relationship-centered context.
In this session, Dr. Pedersen helps clients explore, discover, and leverage those internalized voices of their "culture teachers" - the people that teach them who they are, how to behave, and how to resolve problems or find balance in life.

Dr. Abi-Hashem shows a general way to work with Arab American clients that touches on certain commonalties across these cultures, such as greeting clients with respect, awareness of personal boundaries and potential internal conflicts about living in the West, and reconciling tradition with American culture.
In this session, Dr. Abi-Hashem works with a young man of Jordanian descent who, in spite of the fact that he is very much an American, is trying to maintain his cultural heritage for his father's sake.

With Rita Chi-Ying Chung, PhD
In Working With Immigrants, Dr. Rita Chi-Ying Chung demonstrates a multicultural approach to counseling clients who are immigrants or come from families that have immigrated to the United States. The approach Dr. Chung uses, called the multilevel model of psychotherapy, social justice, and human rights, provides a culturally sensitive framework for applying cognitive, affective, and behavioral interventions.
Because immigrants often come from cultures in which psychotherapists are not commonly consulted, the first step of this approach is to educate the client about mental health practices. Immigrant clients may often feel out of control in a new culture, so therapists may focus on issues of environmental mastery - helping clients understand how systems work, where to get assistance, and how to access resources - in addition to more typical therapeutic concerns.
In this session, Dr. Chung works with a young woman whose parents emigrated from the Philippines. Dr. Chung helps the client deal with acculturation issues, particularly how to balance her parents' cultural expectations with the American culture within which she has grown up.

A powerful, thought-provoking program perfect for use in cultural competency and awareness classes. We are sure it will provide you and your students a deeper understanding of the impact of racism, and discussions that travel far outside the classroom.
Shortly after the Japanese attack on Peal Harbor, President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066. It led to the mass evacuation and incarceration of over 120,000 persons of Japanese ancestry¡K more than half were children.
The impact of the World War II internment on Japanese Americans still lingers in the form of humiliation, anger, shame, regret and abandonment. This program provides a rare glimpse into the very private lives of a few of these Japanese Americans who have not previously talked openly about the trauma of their internment experience. Satsuki Ina, a psychologist and former internee, leads a three-day intensive group therapy where the participants give words to their childhood trauma and mirror each other's experiences. In so doing, the group members allow themselves to feel and subsequently let go of the humiliation and shame they have been holding onto for many years.
This film is a powerful lesson in racism in the United States, and provides a group therapy model on how to help heal the wounds caused by institutionalized oppression. In light of the recent wars in the Middle East, this film is more important than ever, and is a must-see for anyone wanting to understand how intolerance, prejudice and racism deeply impact the lives of Americans.

The therapeutic needs of same-sex couples are given some long-overdue attention in this masterful video with EFT originator Dr. Sue Johnson, who offers fresh hope to a gay and a lesbian couple using her signature framework for repairing the partners' emotional "dance."
The underlying assumption in Emotionally Focused Therapy, says expert couples therapist Dr. Sue Johnson, is that vulnerable emotions, emotion regulation strategies, and attachment needs and fears are universal. In this illuminating new video, Johnson applies her groundbreaking therapeutic framework to the relationship difficulties of two same-sex couples, one gay and one lesbian.
Tim and Andrew, along with Jamie and Kelly, have participated in a handful of EFT sessions to understand their seemingly deep-seated conflicts and salvage their partnerships¡Xor to decide once and for all if that's even possible. In consultation with their respective therapists, Johnson enters the room for an extended session with each couple, where she masterfully helps deconstruct their relationship patterns, meticulously tracks each partner to reveal their core attachment messages, and employs direct communication tactics to guide them closer to the "safe haven" of a mutually satisfying bond. All this is done with a trusting working alliance and empathic attention to the issues same-sex couples face¡Xwhich you'll learn more about by watching Johnson's unique panel discussion with three other EFT therapists.

Over the course of eight sessions with a multicultural group of eighth graders, Drs. Sam Steen and Sheri Bauman offer child therapists a thorough picture of the issues adolescents face and ways to deepen connection around them.
While many training videos present a single session of therapy or use actors to reenact a course of treatment, this video is remarkable in that you'll witness eight actual sessions of group counseling with teens.
Creating safety for adolescents to express emotional vulnerability can seem particularly difficult given this population's much-documented resistance to self-disclosure. Moreover, working with this age group poses challenges related to managing energy levels and varying degrees of introversion and extraversion. Steen and Bauman prove their skill in all of these areas, facilitating crosstalk and direct interaction among their group members while encouraging relational risks and deeper thinking about the experiences that connect us all.
You'll be impressed by the range of issues these children bring to the group, from feeling "weird" for enjoying reading, to worrying about relationships, to rumors and bullying, and much more. With so much of our therapeutic work occurring in isolation from other professionals, you'll find it particularly instructive to see how these two talented therapists authentically connect with the teens and complement each other's facilitation styles. Perhaps you'll be inspired to co-lead a group yourself!
In this minimally edited video, Steen and Bauman offer a transparent, thoughtful deconstruction of their methods that anyone working with adolescents will find educational and refreshing.
By watching this video, you will:
Learn how to present discussion topics in age-appropriate ways that create safety to self-disclose.
Discover ways to enliven and focus the group when energy is low.
Identify how and when to adjust activities based on observations of group members.

By Derald Wing Sue
In this provocative interview with multicultural expert Derald Wing Sue, learn about the history of multicultural counseling, the unmet needs of diverse clients, and ways to counter the culture-bound values that may be impacting your work.
It's not enough to bring an empathic stance to multicultural clients, argues Dr. Derald Wing Sue in this brand-new video interview. The seasoned researcher, clinician, and author of Counseling the Culturally Diverse¡Xthe groundbreaking text that, more than three decades after its release, remains the most frequently cited and widely used resource on cross-cultural counseling¡Xmaintains that when it comes to working with minority clients, taking a frank, unbiased look at our own place within our culture is crucial for attracting clients of a differing culture to your office, establishing a trusting working alliance, and meeting their ongoing therapeutic needs.
Sue breaks down several of his well-known concepts here, illustrating ideas such as white privilege and its invisibility in traditional clinical theory; the three levels of identification that white therapists tend to miss with minority clients, leading them to feel dismissed and potentially pathologized; and the cumulative microaggresions that plague members of cultural minorities on a daily basis. He also describes why talking about race can be challenging in the consulting room.
In addition to these frameworks, you'll watch Sue discuss ways to counter this cultural conditioning during clinical training, including his first-of-its-kind program that weaves cross-cultural immersion into multiple aspects of the educational process.
