New Videos Added to APA PsycTherapy (Fall 2022)

In September, we added 10 new videos to APA PsycTherapy®, our streaming video database designed to meet the teaching and training needs of psychotherapy students and practitioners. APA PsycTherapy videos are recorded during an unscripted online session to provide an authentic example of psychotherapy conducted by an expert therapist.

The 10 newest videos are excellent examples of working with clients/patients remotely through video conferencing. In addition, each new video is divided into meaningful segments for easier identification of teachable moments. (More than 200 older videos are also segmented into these annotated chapters).

  • Positive Psychotherapy With a Ukrainian Refugee
  • Behavioral Health Consultation With a Woman Experiencing Physical Symptoms Following COVID-19
  • Brief Primary Care Behavioral Health Model for COVID-Related Concerns
  • Therapy With a Black Woman Experiencing Workplace Discrimination
