BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND HEALTH COUNSELING: COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY FOR CHRONIC PAIN

With Beth Darnall, PhD

A common misconception about pain is that it is best treated with a purely biomedical approach. In fact, the biopsychosocial model of pain treatment comprehensively addresses the psychosocial factors that are integral to the experience of pain and profoundly influence need for - and response to - medical treatments.

Despite the critical role of psychology in pain, psychologists and mental health professionals commonly receive little or no pain training. In this program, Dr. Beth Darnall works with a woman suffering from debilitating pain and posttraumatic stress disorder caused by injuries sustained in an auto collision.

During the session, Dr. Darnall uses cognitive behavioral therapy for chronic pain and teaches the patient several key pain psychology concepts as well as patient-centered and values-based chronic pain self-management techniques. The DVD also includes teaching moments that emphasize the importance of establishing the pain treatment rationale with basic pain neuroscience education that any therapist can, and should, use.

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.

RELATIONSHIPS: COUPLES EXPERIENCING COMMITMENT UNCERTAINTY

It is not uncommon for couples to quarrel over issues such as chores or finances. However, such conflicts tend to have underlying, unresolved issues that can easily be mistaken for something else. Therefore, it is essential that therapists have a keen awareness of underlying issues that aren't always expressed out rightly.

In Couples Experiencing Commitment Uncertainty, clinical interventions are led by establishing a secure attachment between partners, and helping couples identify their emotional needs, often hidden amongst conflict.

In this video program, Drs. Johanna Strokoff and Jesse Owen both direct the co-therapy demonstration session by helping a couple express their most authentic and vulnerable desires for comfort, acceptance, and love while also communicating concerns about judgment or abandonment.

RELATIONSHIPS: EMOTION-FOCUSED COUPLE THERAPY

With Rhonda N. Goldman, PhD

For couples undergoing marital distress, common interactional cycles between partners, such as criticizing and withdrawing, can obstruct the emotional engagement needed for secure bonding and partner validation.

An important key in couple therapy is recognizing these patterns as they are occurring and from within a highly validating therapeutic relationship, exploring the underlying, negative emotional and interactional states, and then transforming them into more adaptive cycles that support healthier mutual understanding and bonding.

In this video program, Dr. Rhonda N. Goldman demonstrates her approach to therapy in two sessions, each with a different couple experiencing a conflict marked by a pursuing and distancing cycle and covering deeper emotional wounds. By forming a strong emotional connection with the partners and applying the emotion-focused therapy method that integrates strategies from client-centered, Gestalt, and systemic therapies, Dr. Goldman seeks to help the couples with their unresolved emotional patterns and encourage them toward healthy, positive relational changes.

RELATIONSHIPS: INTEGRATIVE COUPLE THERAPY

With Wachtel, Ellen F.; Wachtel, Paul L.

In this video program, Dr. Ellen F. Wachtel demonstrates her approach to couple therapy, which emphasizes the positives that still exist in the relationship despite the difficulties that have brought the couple to treatment.

Although not ignoring the couple's conflicts and complaints, this strength-based, integrative approach emphasizes the goal of helping each person in the couple to get more of what he or she is longing for, thereby highlighting positives rather than deficiencies, and fostering self-reflection rather than blame.

In this video program, Dr. Ellen Wachtel demonstrates this therapeutic approach with a couple dealing with an impasse in the relationship, while Dr. Paul Wachtel examines and highlights teaching moments taken from the demonstration.

SPECIFIC TREATMENTS FOR SPECIFIC POPULATIONS: AFFIRMATIVE COUNSELING WITH TRANSGENDER AND GENDER DIVERSE CLIENTS

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.

SPECIFIC TREATMENTS FOR SPECIFIC POPULATIONS: COGNITIVE-BEHAVIORAL PSYCHOEDUCATION FOR CLINICAL ANXIETY

With Jonathan S. Abramowitz, PhD

Helping clients understand the cognitive and behavioral processes involved in their clinical anxiety is important for getting the most out of cognitive-behavioral therapy.

Dr. Jonathan S. Abramowitz' cognitive-behavioral psychoeducation approach provides an explanation of techniques and how they work so that the client has a sense of agency and responsibility in their progress. This educational approach focuses on helping clients understand the psychological processes that are involved in the maintenance of clinical anxiety and related problems.

In this video program, Dr. Abramowitz demonstrates this approach by helping the patient learn to think of the anxiety response as a normal and adaptive response to the perception of threat that does not have to be resisted. The demonstration applies the approach with a client who is suffering from panic and generalized anxiety.

SPECIFIC TREATMENTS FOR SPECIFIC POPULATIONS: COMPLEX POSTTRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER

With Steven N. Gold, PhD

Two common misconceptions about working with survivors who suffer from posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are that the disorder always stems from a single event and that effective treatment consists solely of a set of exposure-based interventions that address that one event.

However, individuals who have survived prolonged or repeated trauma often develop complex PTSD, a disorder consisting of forms of impairment much more extensive than in PTSD. Often, when trauma-focused exposure-based interventions are launched into prematurely, they are highly likely to cause deterioration rather than improvement.

In this video, Dr. Steven N. Gold demonstrates an approach to working with clients experiencing complex PTSD that focuses initially on helping them improve their quality of life in the present. By coaching clients on various facets of adult living, such as mastering effective coping skills, maintaining steady employment, and building a social support network, therapists can help them experience marked improvement in the present and form a stable base from which to address the lingering impact of traumatic experiences.

SYSTEMS OF PSYCHOTHERAPY: THE DYNAMICS OF POWER AND PRIVILEGE IN PSYCHOTHERAPY

With Malin Fors

Societal issues based in power and privilege inevitably enter the therapy room. In this video, Malin Fors offers a fresh synthesis of ideas to unmask these hidden dynamics and in the process improve therapeutic relationships and outcomes.

During the discussion with interviewer Dr. Katherine Helm, Fors explains the matrix of relative privilege, a model consisting of four core client¡Vtherapist dynamics:

similarity of privilege

privilege favoring the therapist

privilege favoring the patient

similarity of nonprivilege

This matrix may be used to understand the power dynamics not only in psychotherapy and counseling, but in all treatment relationships.

In this program, Malin Fors demonstrates and discusses clinical topics associated with the model, such as voluntary and involuntary self-disclosure, similarities between patient and therapist, and internalized oppression, and then highlights specific moments in the demonstration session where client¡Vtherapist power dynamics come into play.

ASSESSMENT AND INTERVENTION WITH SUICIDAL CLIENTS VOLUME 1

By John Sommers-Flanagan

The suicidal client is perhaps the single greatest clinical and ethical challenge for even the most seasoned mental health professional. In this, John Sommers-Flanagan artfully teaches through live clinical demonstration how to effectively and collaboratively assess and intervene when sitting face-to-face with suicidal clients. In this video he works with a divorced mother suffering from depression, and a 22-year-old college student and veteran of the Iraq war who is struggling with family issues and alcohol use.

In Volume 1, you'll see Dr. Sommers-Flanagan demonstrate his collaborative and research-based approach in multiple sessions with each of the following clients:

Michelle, a recently divorced mother of a young daughter, who seeks relief from the punishing symptoms of depression, inertia and self-doubt.

Cory, a previously proud and optimistic 22-year-old college student and citizen of the Lakota-Sioux nation, who upon returning from the Iraq war finds his family and his tribe in disarray. Significant alcohol use and access to guns compounds his suicide risk.

Through compassionate and targeted interviewing, Sommers-Flanagan will teach you how to recognize and address the eight dimensions of suicidality. In the process, your clients will begin to gain clarity around their suicidality and you will develop a clearer clinical picture that will help you to lay the groundwork for intervention. Descriptive and informative pre and post-demonstration discussions between Sommers-Flanagan and Victor Yalom will teach you how to seamlessly integrate the research-based and clinically-proven "seven fundamental clinical tasks" into your own assessment and early intervention planning. By the conclusion of this training video you will be far better-equipped to attend to the clinical challenges of the suicidal client.

BREAKING THE CODE OF ROMANTIC LOVE

By Sue Johnson

Over the last 30 years, Dr. Sue Johnson and her colleagues have "cracked the code" of romantic love through the development of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). By watching this video, couples will to learn to improve their relationships and therapists will find useful ideas and training techniques.

Whether you are a couple looking to improve your relationship or a therapist training other therapists to work with couples, Dr. Johnson's message and techniques will provide valuable tools for change. And her message is very clear and direct: everything we need to know about relationships, we learned in childhood. Drawing upon research into the sciences of attachment and bonding and in very clear language, she provides concrete strategies to help strengthen relationships by enhancing safety, security and connection.

Instead of focusing on fleeting issues that drive problems in relationships, she shows how the principles of EFT can help couples to more effectively express, process and reciprocate emotions. Feeling heard and hearing each other is the key to relationship survival. Dr. Johnson teaches us to build on these simple yet powerful ideas to increase relationship satisfaction and the effectiveness of couples therapy.

For Dr. Johnson, the enemy of love is not conflict, but distance and emotional disconnection. She imparts useful strategies and techniques for safely lessening distance, increasing partner responsiveness and strengthening intimacy. Real-life examples from her work help us to replace old notions about relationship traps. In their place, couples and clinicians will learn about the specific stages and methods for building or rebuilding healthy and rewarding ties.

CULTURALLY SENSITIVE COUNSELING WITH LATINOS

By Patricia Arredondo

In our diverse society, therapists are increasingly likely to work with Latino clients but may lack a core understanding of their day-to-day experiences, worldview, and unique clinical needs. Through poignant discussion and live clinical demonstration, master clinician, consultant, and researcher Patricia Arredondo will fill the gaps in our knowledge and skills so that we may maximize our effectiveness with this population.

Patricia Arredondo is concerned that clinicians unfamiliar with the Latino experience will undermine potential alliances, miss valuable intervention opportunities, and limit therapeutic outcomes through biases and false assumptions. By watching her in a live clinical demonstration, you will learn to to put aside traditional Western individual-oriented beliefs that drive your assessment, diagnostic, and treatment practices. In their place, you will gain meaningful psychotherapeutic insights and skills that will help you to tap into the collectivism that shapes the Latino worldview.

Through incisive clinical observations and culturally targeted interventions, Arredondo will help you to adapt your own therapeutic models and techniques so that you will optimize clinical outcome with Latino clients. Introducing us to the Latino perspective rooted in "marianismo," "machismo," and "caballerismo," she will both broaden your clinical understanding of this population and sharpen your clinical tools. As a result, you will ask better interviewing questions, de-pathologize your assessments, and enhance your case-conceptualization and treatment planning skills.

Formative experiences molded Arredondo's personal and professional identity as an international expert in multicultural competency. She will model and teach you how to better appreciate and connect with your Latino clients and show you how to "be humble about what we do not know." In so doing, she will help you to deepen your empathy with Latino clients around their unique values, religious beliefs, family dynamics, and prescribed gender roles.

DSM-5 AND PSYCHODIAGNOSTIC INTERVIEWING, THE - VOLUME 1: PSYCHIATRIC DIAGNOSIS AND INTERVIEWING

By Jason Buckles & Victor Yalom

The DSM 5 and Psychodiagnostic Interviewing, Jason Buckles and Victor Yalom take a nuanced and critical look at psychiatric diagnosis and the DSM-5, and then demonstrate in a step-by-step manner the components and skills necessary to do a diagnostic interview.

Whether you love the DSM or hate it, as a clinician you need to understand how to use it and how to avoid misusing it. The best clinicians seamlessly combine diagnostic interviewing and excellent rapport-building during the initial session, and in this video you'll learn how to do just that.

Begins with Jason Buckles and Victor Yalom digging deep into some of the most fundamental questions in the field of mental health: What is a mental disorder? What is a diagnosis? What are the benefits as well as the drawbacks of conceptualizing human problems as disorders? Is it appropriate to use the medical model to treat mental illness? What are some of the dangers of diagnosing culturally normative behaviors as disorders? The many valuable uses of our diagnostic system - from having a common language among professionals, to securing insurance coverage, to scientific research - are seamlessly woven into their dynamic discussion as well.

In the second half of the video, you'll get clear step-by-step instructions, illustrated with short clinical demonstrations, of the various components of doing a diagnostic interview: How do you introduce the interview to the client and get their consent? How can you ask the necessary questions to both hone in on a particular diagnosis and rule out others? How do you push a client for more specific information while also being mindful of attending to the alliance, especially in the first session? And finally, how do you bring it all together, weighing the information you've obtained to decide what their diagnosis is, or isn't, while keeping in mind that not all clients seeking help meet the criteria for a diagnosis?

This is the only series of its kind to take a complex and critical approach to the DSM, and Buckles and Yalom manage a delicate balance - neither cheerleading for the DSM nor taking a slash-and-burn approach. You are certain to have a better understanding of the DSM-5 and psychodiagnostic interviewing after watching it.

DSM-5 AND PSYCHODIAGNOSTIC INTERVIEWING, THE - VOLUME 3: DIAGNOSING DEPRESSIVE, BIPOLAR, AND ALCOHOL USE DISORDERS

By Jason Buckles & Victor Yalom

Covers diagnoses that can sometimes overlap and be hard to distinguish from one another: Depressive and persistent depressive disorders, bipolar and substance use disorders.

Depression is widespread in Western cultures but with so many varieties of depression and differences among how people experience it, how do we diagnose it and rule out the myriad other disorders that sometimes masquerade as depression? What constitutes mania? What's the difference between Bipolar I and II? When is depression "persistent" and when does it became serious enough to warrant a major depressive diagnosis? Can they coexist? How do you know if substance use is causing depression and how do you skillfully ply information from clients about their substance use when they would rather you don't?

Watch as Jason Buckles gently structures his questions and interactions to cover the necessary bases while listening carefully, joining, pacing, and allowing inconsistencies to simply be part of the interactions. Before, during, and after each vignette, commentary and explanations by both Buckles and Victor Yalom enhance the viewers learning experience, as well as voiceovers that describe diagnostic information, and explain skills and interventions as they are happening in live sessions with clients. Mental health professionals will benefit from the comprehensive presentation of symptoms and clinical skills provided in this video. Without sacrificing empathy, warmth, or humor, see how to gather targeted information to confidently arriving at an accurate diagnosis.

DSM-5 AND PSYCHODIAGNOSTIC INTERVIEWING, THE - VOLUME 4: DIAGNOSING ANOREXIA, SCHIZOPHRENIA AND BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER

By Jason Buckles & Victor Yalom

Schizophrenia, Anorexia, and Borderline Personality Disorder - difficult to treat, challenging for most clinicians and absolutely essential to diagnose accurately. Learn the specialized skills required to gather information and establish rapport with clients struggling with these disorders.

Certain diagnoses require specialized skill to both diagnose and treat, and anorexia, schizophrenia and borderline personality disorder all fit that description. With both anorexia and schizophrenia, medical information and contact with the treating physician is often necessary, while with borderline personality, symptoms may initially be masked and not emerge until months into therapy - making it all the more important to be skilled at obtaining the necessary clinical information in the initial interview. In this final installment of the series, watch skilled interviewers working with a young man who has schizophrenia, an aspiring ballerina struggling with anorexia, and a woman with all the features we associate with borderline personality disorder. You'll see the therapists struggle with these clients - as lack of insight and psychotic thinking can often be present with these disorders - and still find a way to gather information for a working diagnosis.

Jason Buckles and Victor Yalom offer insightful commentary before, during and after each vignette so that you get a feel for how to work with clients who may be resistant to opening up, unable to self-reflect or even hostile to the therapist. As most clinicians encounter challenging and sometimes mystifying clients and symptoms, the tools covered in this volume are essential!

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¡Ka clinical page-turner. You can't help but learn and be inspired by seeing her in action.
