Six (6) new teletherapy demonstrations were recently added to APA PsycTherapy, our streaming video database designed to meet the teaching and training needs of psychotherapy students and practitioners.

Each video was recorded during an unscripted online session to provide an authentic example of telepsychology conducted by an expert therapist.

This latest release includes demonstrations of the following approaches: culturally informed psychodynamic therapy, integrated family therapy, constructivist therapy, and cognitive therapy with skillful integration of multiple interventions and exercises within a single session.

  • Using a Constructivist Therapeutic Approach With a New Father With Marital Problems (Therapist: Robert A. Neimeyer)
