- Accelerated experiential dynamic psychotherapy
Call Number: DVD 6131
In Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), Dr. Diana Fosha demonstrates her healing-centered treatment approach, which aims to capitalize on the client's natural, adaptive, wired-in capacities for healing and transformation. AEDP integrates experiential and relational elements within an affect-centered psychodynamic framework, with the somatic experience of affect in relationship and the moment-to-moment regulation of this experience as the focus of clinical aims to bring about change. - Acceptance and commitment therapy
Call Number: DVD 6122
In Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dr. Steven C. Hayes illustrates this empirically supported intervention. The goal of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is to increase psychological flexibility, or the ability to enter the present moment more fully and either change or persist in behavior when doing so serves valued ends. Therapists and clients work to establish psychological flexibility through six core ACT processes, including acceptance, the opposite of experiential avoidance; cognitive defusion, in which negative thoughts are observed mindfully instead of avoided or reasoned away; chosen values; and committed action. - Adlerian therapy
Call Number: DVD 6127
Adlerian psychotherapy is both humanistic and goal oriented. It emphasizes the individual's strivings for success, connectedness with others, and contributions to society as being hallmarks of mental health. Birth order is considered important in understanding a person's current personality, yet the therapy is future-minded, rather than retrospective. - Affect-focused dynamic psychotherapy
Call Number: DVD 6124
In Affect-Focused Dynamic Psychotherapy, Dr. Leigh McCullough demonstrates a system of therapy aimed at getting through a client's defense structure to elicit emotions. Because people tend to avoid difficult feelings, they often erect obstacles to experiencing emotion. According to this system of therapy, these emotional blocks usually lie at the core of a client's presenting problems. - Brief Dynamic Therapy
Call Number: DVD 6136
In Brief Dynamic Therapy, Dr. Stanley B. Messer demonstrates his approach to short-term, focused therapy. This treatment is distinguished by its emphasis on finding an issue on which to focus in therapy, a characteristic intrinsic to its brevity (therapy generally runs 12–25 sessions). In this session, Dr. Messer works with a woman named Nancy whose father recently died and whose mother is experiencing dementia and Parkinson's disease. In this typical first session, Dr. Messer actively seeks to determine whether Nancy will be a good candidate for brief dynamic therapy and what might be a suitable focus. - Client-Centered Therapy
Call Number: DVD 6132
In Client-Centered Therapy, Dr. Nathaniel J. Raskin demonstrates this Rogerian style of therapy. This empathic approach is based on the empirically proven fact that a safe, accepting relationship between the therapist and client is key to the process of client self-discovery and actualization. In this video, Dr. Raskin works with a 30-year-old woman, named Cynthia, who is trying to understand why she seems to be drawn into relationships with violent men. - Client-Directed Outcome-Focused Psychotherapy
Call Number: DVD 6125
In Client-Directed Outcome-Focused Psychotherapy, Dr. Scott D. Miller presents a meta-approach to talk therapy that is designed to help tailor the treatment to fit the client's particular therapeutic goals. Technique is deemphasized in favor of developing a strong therapeutic alliance and using the client's experience of the treatment as a guide for where treatment should go. This requires checking in with the client frequently to see whether therapy is working and using this formal feedback to guide treatment and evaluation. - Cognitive–Affective Behavior Therapy
Call Number: DVD 6079
In Cognitive–Affective Behavior Therapy, Dr. Marvin R. Goldfried shows how this approach works. Although primarily a cognitive–behavioral approach, this therapy also incorporates elements of experiential therapy so as to increase the possibility of the client having connective experiences between sessions. In this session, Dr. Goldfried works with a 31-year-old woman who is struggling with expressing her feelings and being vulnerable in the most serious relationship she has had since her divorce 8 years ago. - Cognitive Therapy
Call Number: DVD 6126
In Cognitive Therapy, Dr. Judith S. Beck illustrates how this present-oriented, brief form of psychotherapy works. Dr. Beck meets with an African American woman in her late 30's who is a single parent dealing with life-long depression. Dr. Beck helps the client begin to sort out her problems and modify her dysfunctional cognitions through Socratic questioning and other techniques. - Cognitive–Behavior Therapy
Call Number: DVD 6137
In Cognitive–Behavior Therapy, Dr. Jacqueline B. Persons demonstrates this frequently used system of psychotherapy. Dr. Persons uses a case conceptualization as a guide for choosing which standard cognitive–behavioral interventions to apply, and she adopts an active approach to helping clients solve problems. In this session, Dr. Persons works with a 29-year-old woman who recently developed social phobia. Together they work to overcome her fears through the use of exposure exercises and strategies for making social interactions more manageable. - Cognitive–Behavioral Therapy With Donald Meichenbaum
Call Number: DVD 6081
Cognitive–Behavioral Therapy With Donald Meichenbaum is a demonstration of arguably the most frequently used therapeutic approach by one of its cofounders. Dr. Donald Meichenbaum uses cognitive–behavioral therapy with a constructive-narrative perspective in which he looks at the stories clients tell about themselves and considers ways that the client could develop a different, more positive story. - Constructivist Therapy
Call Number: DVD 6086
In Constructivist Therapy, Dr. Robert A. Neimeyer demonstrates this client-centered, empathic form of therapy, showing how a psychotherapist might find the narrative threads that will help troubled individuals reweave the fabric of their lives. In this session, Dr. Neimeyer "leads from one step behind," helping a client whose son has died find a way to deal with the issues that she senses must be addressed. Watch the client invite Dr. Neimeyer to take the next necessary steps in allowing her to elaborate her relation to the problem, to articulate the deeply personal revelations that must find words and expression, and to look for hopeful possibilities. - Effective Psychoanalytic Therapy of Schizophrenia and Other Severe Disorders
Call Number: DVD 6075
In Effective Psychoanalytic Therapy of Schizophrenia and Other Severe Disorders, Dr. Bertram P. Karon demonstrates this psychoanalytic approach to treating clients who have severe mental disorders.

Call Number: DVD 6080

Call Number: DVD 6128
In Evidence-Based Treatment, Larry E. Beutler demonstrates his research-directed approach to therapy. Dr. Beutler uses data gathered in a presession assessment to tailor his approach to working with the client. The principles on which this method is based have been proven to make therapy more targeted and therefore more effective. - Existential Therapy
Call Number: DVD 6133
In Existential Therapy, Dr. Kirk J. Schneider demonstrates his existential–integrative model of therapy. Developed by Dr. Schneider with the inspiration of Rollo May and James Bugental, existential–integrative therapy is one way to engage and coordinate a variety of intervention modes—such as the pharmacological, the behavioral, the cognitive, and the analytic—within an overarching existential or experiential context. - Experiential Psychotherapy
Call Number: DVD 6078
In Experiential Psychotherapy, Dr. Alvin R. Mahrer demonstrates his use of this form of therapy, which centers on the experience of strong emotion. In this therapy, clients are directed to relive experiences in which they felt strong emotion and to truly be present with those emotions, so as to develop greater emotional openness and resilience in the face of future challenges. In this session, Dr. Mahrer works with a client to help him overcome a feeling of emotional numbness and feel and display his emotions. - Feminist Therapy
Call Number: DVD 6077
In Feminist Therapy, Dr. Laura S. Brown demonstrates this integrative approach to psychotherapy. Feminist therapy may superficially resemble other forms of psychotherapy, but the therapy's basis in feminist political analysis and scholarship on the psychology of women and gender make this a unique and valuable approach for both female and male clients. In this session, Dr. Brown works with a woman recently convicted of narcotics charges. She helps the client to discern how past experiences have shaped her current negative self-narrative. - Gestalt Therapy
Call Number: DVD 6073
In Gestalt Therapy, Dr. Gordon Wheeler discusses and demonstrates the underlying theory of this therapeutic approach: The growth occurs through new awareness brought to bear on old habits of self-organization and through supported experiments in new ways of organizing meaning-making and behavior.

Call Number: DVD 6087
Integrative Relational Psychotherapy is a demonstration and discussion of Paul L. Wachtel's approach to treating clients. In this approach, the therapeutic work centers on disrupting the vicious circles in which clients' interactions with others perpetuate the distressing affect states and the internal conflicts that generated their actions in the first place. - Multimodal Therapy
Call Number: DVD 6076
In Multimodal Therapy, Dr. Arnold A. Lazarus demonstrates this technically eclectic but theoretically consistent approach to therapy. The multimodal orientation begins with the assumption that therapy must assess seven discrete but interactive modalities (abbreviated by the acronym BASIC ID, which stands for Behavior, Affect, Sensation, Imagery, Cognition, Interpersonal factors, and Drug/Biological considerations). This psychoeducational framework encourages therapists to improvise and tailor therapy to the client. - Narrative Therapy
In Narrative Therapy, Dr. Lynne Angus demonstrates her approach to psychotherapy. Researchers and practitioners from many backgrounds have identified client narrative expression as the common ground of social discourse in psychotherapy. Narrative therapy focuses on the client's understanding of his or her own story and how the client's emotions, actions, and problems fit into the context of the story. This approach seeks to reach one of three goals: to put "untold" aspects of the client's past into the life narrative, help clients emotionally enter and reauthor their own stories, or help clients construct new meanings in relation to stories that may emerge in therapy. - Prescriptive Eclectic Therapy
Call Number: DVD 6135
In Prescriptive Eclectic Therapy, Dr. John C. Norcross demonstrates this adaptable, client-focused approach to psychotherapy. This approach tailors the therapy on the basis of each client's unique needs and situation by drawing on the most effective and applicable techniques from eclectic theoretical camps. In this session, Dr. Norcross works with a 33-year-old man whose substance use and marital infidelity have resulted in problems with his relationships and career. - Problem-Solving Therapy
Call Number: DVD 6129
In Problem-Solving Therapy, Drs. Arthur Nezu and Christine Maguth Nezu demonstrate their positive, goal-oriented approach to treatment. Problem-solving therapy is a cognitive–behavioral intervention geared to improve an individual's ability to cope with stressful life experiences. The underlying assumption of this approach is that symptoms of psychopathology can often be understood as the negative consequences of ineffective or maladaptive coping. - Process Experiential Psychotherapy: An Emotion-Focused Approach
Call Number: DVD 6130
In Process Experiential Psychotherapy: An Emotion-Focused Approach, Dr. Leslie S. Greenberg demonstrates this deeply empathic, emotion-focused approach to treatment. In process experiential psychotherapy, the therapist works to guide the client's affective and cognitive processing of experience through the use of appropriate active interventions that facilitate the resolution of painful emotions. In this session, Dr. Greenberg works with a 34-year-old man who is depressed. Using empathy and in-session activities, they explore the sources of the client's current affective state. - Psychoanalytic Therapy
Call Number: DVD 6084
In Psychoanalytic Therapy, Dr. Nancy McWilliams demonstrates an integrative psychoanalytic approach characterized by the effort to create an egalitarian, here-and-now relationship in which therapist and client may work collaboratively on the client's problems. Her therapeutic process is organic: Instead of following a set method, she derives her style of working from psychoanalytic ideas applicable to the particular client and consistent with her own personality. - Reality Therapy
Call Number: DVD 6134
In Reality Therapy, Dr. Robert E. Wubbolding demonstrates this choice-centered approach. Reality therapy is based on choice theory, which states that people choose their behaviors to do one of two things: fulfill a need or communicate with the surrounding world. Reality therapy first assesses what the clients' needs are and what they want from therapy. The therapist conducts an assessment to help clients determine how effective their behaviors have been in fulfilling their needs and then works with clients to determine a plan for more effective action. - Relational–Cultural Therapy
Call Number: DVD 6123
In Relational–Cultural Therapy, Dr. Judith V. Jordan demonstrates and discusses this increasingly practiced approach to therapy. Relational–cultural therapy is a theory of doing therapy, as well as a developmental theory, that works on connection and disconnection in a client's life. A person's past relationships positively and negatively influence expectations—or relational images—of future relationships. People become disconnected from each other primarily because of negative relational images, and the therapist's job is to loosen the hold these negative images have on the client's present life. - Relational Psychotherapy
Call Number: DVD 6085
In Relational Psychotherapy, Dr. Jeremy D. Safran demonstrates his integrative approach to therapy. Relational psychotherapy explores client relationship patterns, both inside and outside of the therapy room itself. The task of therapy is to work collaboratively to understand what is going on between the therapist and client and to look for the relational meaning in everything that arises in therapy, from responses to interventions to client–therapist interaction. - Schema Therapy
Call Number: DVD 6082
In Schema Therapy, Dr. Jeffrey Young demonstrates his unique approach to working with clients with personality disorders or those who are resistant to treatment. Schema therapy is an innovative, integrated therapeutic approach, originally developed as an expansion of traditional cognitive–behavioral treatments. In comparison to cognitive–behavioral therapy, schema therapy emphasizes lifelong patterns, affective change techniques, and the therapeutic relationship, integrating all of these strategies as opposed to focusing on just one of them. - Short-Term Dynamic Therapy
Call Number: DVD 6074
In Short-Term Dynamic Therapy, Dr. Donald K. Freedheim demonstrates this brief form of psychotherapy. Short-term dynamic therapy focuses on troubling feelings that stem from repressed or unresolved painful events. The aim is to provide insight as to the source of the feelings that inhibit healthy functioning. In this session, Dr. Freedheim works with a 59-year-old woman who still experiences grief surrounding several past losses. - Time-Limited Dynamic Psychotherapy
Call Number: DVD 6083
In Time-Limited Dynamic Psychotherapy, Dr. Hanna Levenson demonstrates an attachment-based, empirically supported, brief approach that privileges experiential learning.
