APA Psychotherapy
Videotape Series I |
The American Psychological Association
Psychotherapy Video Series presents
distinguished psychotherapists of
different theoretical orientations
demonstrating their own ways of
conducting psychotherapy in entire
sessions.
Designed for clinical training as well
as for continuing education, the
videotapes show spontaneous and
unscripted sessions, typically
representing the third or fourth session
in an ongoing course of psychotherapy
and typically lasting 40 to 45 minutes.
The clients are portrayed by
professional actors on the basis of real
case materials.
The session you will view attempts to
capture the psychoanalytic theoretical
approach and clinical style in as close
to real circumstances as possible.
Toward this end, a number of steps were
taken to ensure that both the therapist
and the client were anchored,
conceptually and experientially, in the
clinical material, each other, and
previous sessions. First, therapists
indicated the type of client and
clinical problem with which they
typically work or believed allowed the
best demonstration of their approach.
Second, a client profile was
independently developed that included
demographic data, clinical history,
presenting problem, precipitating event,
and other background information. Third,
the therapist reviewed this profile for
its representative-ness and then
described what he or she typically would
do and would have hoped to accomplish in
the first two or three sessions. Fourth,
professional actors adept at
improvisation were immersed in this
clinical history and presentation
through formal role induction of the
actors by an independent practitioner,
to ensure that the actor had both a
cognitive understanding and an
experiential sense of what the client
was struggling with, thinking, and
feeling. Finally, the actor (in role)
and the therapist reviewed the content
and process of their earlier sessions
immediately before the videotaping so
that they were both anchored in the
context of the course to date of the
particular therapeutic relationship.

Autism:
Diagnosis, Causes, and
Treatments
*new

What is it like for
people with autism, living among others
yet always, in a sense, living alone?
And how do their parents cope, as they
care for them? Built around several
case studies, this program distinguishes
between high- and low-functioning
autism, illustrates structural and
functional differences between autistic
and non-autistic brains; considers
genetics, neurological diseases, and
immune system anomalies as possible
contributory factors; and discusses

Behavioral health and Health Counseling
- Assessing Alcohol Problems Using
Motivational*new |
| In
Assessing Alcohol Problems
Using Motivational Interviewing,
Dr. Linda Sobell demonstrates
cognitive–behavioral
motivational interviewing
techniques for assessing a
patient's alcohol use, and then
she and Dr. Mark Sobell discuss
this useful approach for working
with individuals with substance
use disorders. Motivational
interviewing is a
client-centered, directive
method for eliciting intrinsic
motivation to change by
exploring and resolving a
person's ambivalence to change
using open-ended questions,
reflective listening, and
decisional balancing. This
nonjudgmental,
nonconfrontational interviewing
style is designed to minimize a
patient's resistance. The goal
is to construct an interaction
with patients so they feel
comfortable discussing their
risky or problem behavior.
In
this session, Dr. Linda Sobell
works with a young man with a
history of problem drinking
whose recent break-up with his
girlfriend triggered increased
risky alcohol use. Dr. Sobell
assesses his readiness for
change and then interviews him
about triggers, behaviors, and
cognitions associated with his
drinking, emphasizing throughout
that the patient has the choice
to change, thereby empowering
the patient.(100 minutes +)

Conversations About Hope Create the
Future |
When we participate in conversations
that reach into the future through
questions about actions that can be
taken because there is a future, we
participate in co-creating the future

speaking. In cases of catastrophe,
crisis and loss when people are
uncertain about the future, this kind
conversation can generate hope. Rich
examples of such conversations are
offered and we feel hopeful as we
participate in this event through our
own listening.

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive
Therapy for Depression, Dr.
Zindel V. Segal demonstrates a
mind–body approach to helping
clients who have experienced
depression to prevent a relapse

patterns, usually involving
rumination or self-criticism,
often lead back to depression.
By teaching clients mindfulness
exercises, Dr. Segal helps them
to recognize these thought
patterns and, by being aware of
them, to find healthy ways to
work with and adapt to them.
In this group session, Dr. Segal
talks with four clients who have

In
Practical Psychotherapy With
Adolescents, Dr. Alice K.
Rubenstein demonstrates her
approach to working with
adolescent clients. Because of
the complexity of their lives,
adolescents often have
difficulty describing their
feelings and identifying the
source of stressors. Dr.
Rubenstein helps adolescent
clients to identify their
feelings and the factors
contributing to the problems
they are dealing with, and then
helps brainstorm possible
solutions. In this session, Dr.
Rubenstein works with a
15-year-old boy with behavioral
difficulties, family conflicts,
and academic problems. She helps
him find ways to reduce the
tension with his father and
address some of the problems he
is having at school because of
his recently diagnosed
attention-deficit/hyperactivity
disorder.This video features a
client portrayed by an actor on
the basis of actual case

Understanding Group
Psychotherapy Videos |
Irvin Yalom didn't invent
group psychotherapy, but he has been the
primary spokesman and teacher of this
powerful medium for the past three
decades. His classic, The Theory and
Practice of Group Psychotherapy was
first published in 1968, and
revolutionized the practice of group
psychotherapy in this country and the
world. Now in its 4th edition, it has
sold over half a million copies in
hardback. Dr. Yalom is no longer on the
lecture circuit, so these videotapes are
the best way to obtain training from
this master therapist.
You'll have the opportunity to see Dr.
Yalom explaining the concepts of the
interactive approach to group
psychotherapy in precise, articulate
terms, and to observe these concepts
demonstrated in group sessions. You'll
get a clear picture of how the group
becomes a social microcosm, and
understand how to harness the power of
the group by bringing it into the
here-and-now. These are by far the best
videotapes on group psychotherapy ever
produced.
Volume 1, Outpatients
Volume 1 is a two-tape set which
portrays a re-enactment of four segments
of group sessions over the course of a
time-limited mixed adult group. We view
Yalom leading each session, and then
providing behind the scenes insights
regarding his interventions. The general
principles clearly outlined here will be
extremely helpful and applicable to
almost any population participating in
outpatient psychotherapy group. If you
have read his text (perhaps many years
ago now), here is the perfect way to get
a feel for what an effectively run group
actually looks like. You'll learn how to
make the interventions which will keep
your groups dynamic, on-track, and most
importantly, truly therapeutic.
Time: (55:00) and (55:00)
Volume 2, Inpatients
Volume 2 is a two-tape set which
portrays an entire session, based on the
model detailed in Dr. Yalom's text
Inpatient Group Psychotherapy (see
below). The group session is presented
in three segments: introduction, agenda
setting, and agenda filling. Dr. Yalom
provides commentary before and after
each segment, giving clear step-by-step
explanations for the structure and
specific interventions.
You will learn how to run effective
groups for the challenging client
populations encountered in inpatient
settings, structured outpatient
programs, and residential treatment
facilities. The highly structured format
helps to contain rather than escalate
client anxiety.
Time: (48:00) and (60:00)
Volume 3, An Interview
In this candid discussion, Yalom
discusses group psychotherapy, his
existential perspective, and more. He
describes the early influences that
helped shape his professional life, his
insights into the training of group
psychotherapists, the healing factors of
group work, death anxiety, and his
internationally acclaimed work on
bereavement. This personal perspective
will add depth to your understanding of
this innovative theorist and
practitioner. Our special 3 volume
package price below will make this
purchase especially worthwhile.

Waiting to Inhale*new
|
Waiting to Inhale examines the current debate over legalizing medical marijuana in the
United States and abroad. In the United
States, eleven states have passed laws
with medical marijuana provisions. Yet,
use, cultivation and possession – for
any reason – remain illegal under
federal law.
Is marijuana really a gateway drug? Is
there scientific evidence to support the
claim that cannabis can treat the
painful symptoms of illnesses like
cancer, AIDS and Multiple Sclerosis?
The film sheds new light on this
controversial struggle while exploring
deeper issues of medical ideologies.
Waiting to Inhale is not a
propaganda film for either side of this
conflict; instead it focuses on
passionate individuals enmeshed in a
struggle whose stakes are nothing short
of life and death. |

You Don't Know Dick
*new |
Produced by
Bestor Cram,Candace
Schermerhorn.
58 min. Color. 1997.
Simply put, this is the most profound,
compelling, and thought-provoking
documentary ever made on gender
identity. It may also be the most
entertaining. It provides
extraordinarily honest and riveting
portraits of six men who once were
women. They are a diverse group: one
gave birth to three children; another is
a longtime mechanic and body-builder.
Each has lived within a body he didn't
accept; each has tried to adapt to
social expectations he couldn't fulfill;
and each has experienced devastating
personal pain that could not be obscured
by denial. All have embarked upon an
enormous and transfiguring struggle to
recover their dignity and an identity
once denied to them.
Michael, Ted, Stephan, Max, Loren, and
James share the joy and the pain of
their journey from female to male.
Through their commentary and the
experiences of their partners, friends,
and family members emerges an
unforgettable story of self-discovery.
There also emerges a remarkable series
of reflections on the differences
between male and female sexuality, on
social perceptions of gender, and on the
relationship of one's personal history
to one's present life.
"You Don't Know Dick" challenges all of
us to re-examine the foundations of our
ideas and feelings about gender,
personality, sexuality, and identity. It
is not just a film about sex and
surgical procedures; it is about knowing
who we are and what we must go through
to become that person. It is a must for
a wide array of courses in psychology,
sociology, gender studies, women's
studies, social work, and the health
professions. It was produced and
directed by Candace Schermerhorn and
Bestor Cram for Northern Light
Productions. |
