We are excited to announce that the amount of content in the APA PsycTherapy® database more than doubled on May 30!

Clinical psychology faculty, researchers, and graduate students can now access 910+ videos presenting more than 1,030 unscripted full therapy sessions conducted by expert practitioners with individuals, couples, and families.

This latest update includes the full catalog of the APA Psychotherapy Video Series in addition to newly published single video titles, such as:

• Positive Psychotherapy Delivered Online (Tayyab Rashid)
• Working With Couples in the Correctional System (Corrine Datchi)
• Multicultural Feminist Therapy With Adolescent Girls of Color (Thema Bryant-Davis)
• Working With Clients Experiencing Climate Distress (Leslie Davenport and Wendy Greenspun)

Setting standards for nearly 30 years, the APA Psychotherapy Video Series is well known in the field of psychology and includes many best-selling titles. Many videos feature the clinician who created the psychotherapy approach along with framing content, including an interview about their approach and their professional analysis of the therapy demonstration. This provides unique and valuable instructional context to benefit students as part of both coursework and independent study. All future APA Psychotherapy Video Series releases will be included in APA PsycTherapy, totaling 20-40 hours of new streaming video content each year.

APA PsycTherapy includes content related to equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI), a central principle guiding APA’s organizational mission. To help foster cultural competency and sensitivity, more than 50 titles feature topics related to EDI or feature therapists of color. Examples include:

• Working With Clients With Physical Disabilities (Linda Mona)
• Affirmative Counseling With Transgender and Gender Diverse Clients (Lore Dickey)
• Cultural Humility in Therapy (Cirleen DeBlaere and Jesse Owen)
• The Dynamics of Power and Privilege in Psychotherapy (Malin Fors)
• Reflections on Race and Ethnicity in the Therapeutic Setting (Rita Chi-Ying Chung, Joseph M. Cervantes, Fred Bemak, and Thema Bryant-Davis)
• Ethnocultural Psychotherapy (Lillian Comas-Diaz)
• Working With Issues of Social Class in Psychotherapy (William M. Liu)

This powerful teaching resource provides authentic, engaging examples of therapeutic approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based interventions, and trauma-focused therapy. Through firsthand observation, students learn how to translate theoretical concepts into practice and different ways of handling critical incidents that can arise during treatment.

APA PsycTherapy also includes the APA PsycTherapy Teaching Guide to assist faculty with curricula development and training the next generation of expert practitioners. It features exercises for using APA PsycTherapy with students, in clinical supervision settings, in psychotherapy researcher training, and more.
