Posted on by Patti Avellanet in For Faculty, For Individual Subscribers, For Librarians, For Students

On August 15, APA PsycTherapy® was updated with 11 new videos covering a variety of clinical approaches and therapy topics.

In Strengths and Flourishing in Psychotherapy, Steven J. Sandage leads the discussion of how to incorporate strengths-based interventions into a variety of clinical approaches based on four therapists’ demonstrations.

The Basics of Group Therapy with Cheri L. Marmarosh expertly demonstrates the group formation process, including the importance of rapport building, expectation setting, and collaboration within group co-leadership.

Keith Dobson’s skilled demonstration of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in multiple contexts is featured in the following videos:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Depression
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Exploring Self and Relationships

Jessica Borelli’s pioneering form of an attachment-based technique known as “relational savoring” can be incorporated into many therapeutic approaches, helping the client to focus on elements of joy in a key relationship (e.g., child, spouse, partner) as a pathway to enhanced well-being and mental health:

  • Relational Savoring (includes discussion of theoretical underpinnings and evidence base)
  • Relational Savoring With a Parent of a Young Child

Louis Hoffman’s expertise in existential–humanistic therapy is featured in a variety of clinical scenarios:

  • Existential–Humanistic Case Formulation (includes discussion of theoretical underpinnings and evidence base)
  • Exploring Caregiver Burden Through an Existential–Humanistic Therapy Lens
  • Existential–Humanistic Therapy With a Client Struggling With Perfectionism

Jonathan Raskin’s videos on constructivist therapy demonstrate how to proficiently guide clients toward reconceptualizing a problem in meaningful and life-enhancing ways through different forms of self-expression:

  • Constructive Therapy in Practice (includes discussion of underlying philosophy, evidence base, and practical applications of constructivist therapy)
  • Constructive Therapy With a Client Navigating Procrastination

New Videos Added to APA PsycTherapy (Spring 2024)

Posted on by Marta Soto in For Librarians

 

On March 18, we added 12 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 session to provide an authentic example of psychotherapy conducted by an expert therapist.

Here are a few highlight videos: 

  • Focused Brief Group Therapy in Practice: Group therapy offers an efficient and effective alternative to individual therapy, and this particular approach to group therapy uses a series of techniques to activate the mechanisms of change in a far shorter time than most group therapies. In the video, Dr. Whittingham first demonstrates an individual client pre-group session and then holds a group therapy session, allowing viewers to see how working in a group setting can be beneficial to each individual. The demonstration in this video is framed by an informative discussion with the guest therapist hosted by Dr. Cheri Marmarosh.

  • Multicultural Orientation in Psychotherapy: In this video, Dr. Cynthia de las Fuentes demonstrates and discusses the key skills involved in this approach. By using an integrative approach to healing, practitioners accompany their clients (individuals, families, communities, etc.) by bearing witness to the pain of marginalization, helping them recognize the effects of domination and subjugation (e.g., discrimination, colonialism), and embrace the radical notion that health, wellness, and healing is a form of resistance for the betterment of self, family, community, and society. The demonstration in this video is framed by an informative discussion with the therapist hosted by Dr. Lillian Comas-Diaz. The demonstration in this video features an actor portraying a client on the basis of a composite of cases.

  • Working With Refugees: This video demonstrates and discusses key skills useful for professionals when working with refugees. The refugee count increases annually, however there is minimal training in mental health fields that provides the awareness, knowledge, and skills to effectively work with this population. In this video, Dr. Fred Bemak demonstrates and discusses key skills such as culturally responsive psychotherapy, strength-based interventions, emphasis on developing cultural empowerment useful for professionals when working with refugees. The demonstration in this video is framed by an informative discussion with the therapist hosted by Dr. Rita Chi-Ying Chung. This video features an actor portraying a client on the basis of a composite of cases.

  • Pregnancy Loss: Dr. Rayna Markin demonstrates an approach that combines attachment theory, trauma theory, self-psychology, and research on the therapy relationship to help a client process the grief from her own pregnancy loss. Dr. Markin uses empathic attunement to help the client to process the trauma and loss associated with these adverse reproductive events and to repair the damage to self-esteem caused by pregnancy loss. The demonstration in this video is framed by an informative discussion with the therapist, hosted by Cheri Marmarosh.

    With 15-25 new videos added every year, APA PsycTherapy will continue to grow and showcase the latest examples and emerging best practices from clinical psychology.
