Behavioral Health Counseling
With Barry A. Farber, PhD
Resistance to treatment can often manifest as clients keeping secrets, minimizing their disclosures around significant clinical issues, and even occasionally lying. Clients' secrets and lies inevitably affect the process of psychotherapy and, unfortunately, therapists tend not to detect them as they occur.
In this video, Dr. Farber discusses the phenomenon of secrets and lies in therapy and demonstrate how he handles such resistance.
Using illustrative clips from the demonstration session, Dr. Farber discusses ways therapists can recognize and monitor client avoidance and dishonesty, understand the factors that inhibit or facilitate honest disclosure, determine when to accept and when to challenge clients' efforts to stay hidden, and learn to work with the clinical consequences of these behaviors when they occur.
This video features clients portrayed by actors based on actual case materials.

With Beth Darnall, PhD
A common misconception about pain is that it is best treated with a purely biomedical approach. In fact, the biopsychosocial model of pain treatment comprehensively addresses the psychosocial factors that are integral to the experience of pain and profoundly influence need for - and response to - medical treatments.
Despite the critical role of psychology in pain, psychologists and mental health professionals commonly receive little or no pain training. In this program, Dr. Beth Darnall works with a woman suffering from debilitating pain and posttraumatic stress disorder caused by injuries sustained in an auto collision.
During the session, Dr. Darnall uses cognitive behavioral therapy for chronic pain and teaches the patient several key pain psychology concepts as well as patient-centered and values-based chronic pain self-management techniques. The DVD also includes teaching moments that emphasize the importance of establishing the pain treatment rationale with basic pain neuroscience education that any therapist can, and should, use.

With Carl W. Lejuez, PhD
In this video program, Dr. Carl W. Lejuez demonstrates and discusses his approach to therapy by working with a client seeking treatment for comorbid substance use and depression.
The video highlights how the assessment provided with a functional analysis can lead seamlessly into the introduction of brief behavioral activation. This combined approach uses functional analysis to identify the environmental factors maintaining the substance use and depression, then transitions into a brief behavioral activation to help the client understand how refocusing one's life with valued activities can help create an environment conducive to a more meaningful, substance-free life.

With Anne C. Dobmeyer, PhD, ABPP
The expansion of behavioral health integration in primary care settings over the past two decades has been facilitated by significant developments in models of integrated care.
In the primary care behavioral health model of integration, clinicians are integrated into primary care as behavioral health consultants to provide focused, evidence-based assessment and intervention to patients as well as consultative recommendations to the primary care provider. This arrangement of systemic and holistic care encourages patients and families to learn and implement self-management strategies that improve functioning and quality of life while also decreasing symptoms.
In this video program, Dr. Anne Dobmeyer demonstrates her work as a behavioral health consultant with a patient who is experiencing difficulties with managing diabetes, and shows also how a psychologist and primary care physician work together to provide seamless, team-based care.

Negative feelings or responses sometimes occur in psychotherapy on the part of both the client as well as the therapist.
Such reactions represent a challenge to the therapist: When a client responds negatively, the therapist must be prepared with alternative interventions or ways to recover a situation; a therapist's negative response to a client, even internally, can harm the therapy, so therapists must be aware of and manage their emotional reactions.
The vignettes in this video are intended to stimulate thinking and discussion about preferred responses to uncomfortable situations or difficult content in therapy.
Designed for clinical training, this video may be used either in workshops or individually to help students or professionals to improve their therapeutic work.
This video features clients portrayed by actors on the basis of composite cases.

With Gayle Y. Iwamasa, PhD
In Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Clients With Multiple Problems, Gayle Y. Iwamasa demonstrates this widely practiced, empirically supported approach.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) considers thought, emotion, and behavior to be interrelated, and seeks to help clients monitor their cognition and actions so as to help improve their emotional health and life satisfaction. Unlike traditional psychotherapies, CBT is usually time-limited, and it focuses on development of a collaborative relationship between therapist and client to determine realistic goals for therapy and effective strategies for reaching those goals.
In this DVD, Dr. Iwamasa works with a young woman who is suffering from grief, anxiety, and depression, helping her to focus her energy on the most central issue in her life and develop ways to help change her thoughts, feelings, and behavior so that she feels more positive.

With Lorne Korman, PhD, Cpsych
In Working With Anger, Dr. Lorne Korman demonstrates his approach to treating clients who present with problems of anger and aggression. This integrative approach to anger treatment recognizes that the underlying causes of anger and aggression problems vary by individual. An important aspect of treatment involves assessing the underlying emotional, behavioral, cognitive, and motivational processes that may be contributing to a client's anger problems. Therapy often involves teaching clients about anger and personal anger cues, and enhancing the client's motivation to reduce anger.
In this session, Dr. Korman works with a man in his 30s with anger and aggression issues surrounding road rage. He first educates the client about anger, then provides strategies for monitoring his feelings and reducing angry behavior.

With Samuel M. Turner, PhD
In Behavior Therapy for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Dr. Samuel M. Turner demonstrates his approach to treating this form of anxiety disorder. Because this approach assumes that obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) derives from an underlying core fear, treatment involves exposing the client to fear-producing stimuli and teaching blocking of compulsive behaviors. The therapist takes an active role in encouraging and directing the client in efforts to prevent habitual obsessive responses to fear. In this session, Dr. Turner works with a 32-year-old woman whose obsessive-compulsive disorder takes the form of obsessive washing and avoidance behavior. Dr. Turner helps her to dismantle her fear of contamination with exercises that expose her to her core fear.
This program features a client portrayed by an actor on the basis of actual case material.

In this session, Dr. Magnavita works with a recently married woman in her 20s who was neglected and abused as a child. The client is experiencing symptoms of anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

By Arthur Freeman
In this final installment of our comprehensive Three Approaches to Personality Disorders video series, watch renowned CBT expert Art Freeman assess cognitive schemas and set concrete therapeutic goals for Alfred, a challenging client who demonstrates significant Axis II issues and suicidal inclinations after being left by his girlfriend.
Expert CBT clinician Art Freeman brings a no-nonsense yet relational style to his work with 40-year-old Alfred (played by Dutch actor Hank Grashuis), whose pain over a recent breakup reveals troubling symptoms and an underlying personality disorder. Altering his initial assessment upon inquiring into the client's dominant schemas, Freeman attends empathically to Alfred's narcissistic need to "give 100% or nothing" in his relationships while simultaneously gaining buy-in to explore ways of gaining more, not less, control over his anger, drinking, relationships, and emotions. Employing CBT interventions of supporting clients in linking thoughts, emotions, and behavior, Freeman nonetheless does so in an attuned way, even while addressing (to us in voiceover commentary) his own countertransference, and builds a trusting alliance with Alfred, who ultimately feels safe enough to commit to further therapy.
By watching this video, you will:
Understand how a CBT therapist assesses for personality disorders and obtains commitment to therapy.
Learn how CBT can be integrated with psychodynamic principles such as countertransference and the therapeutic alliance.
Identify elements of CBT style and strategy to use with your own clients.

By Marsha Linehan
Watch Marsha Linehan, founder of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), in action in this session with a middle-aged man with a significant personality disorder struggling with suicidal depression and anger after being left by his girlfriend.
Perhaps no therapist of the last several decades has so influenced current practice as Marsha Linehan. Though she does a great deal of teaching and training, opportunities to see her practicing with a client in a full-length session are few and far between. Therapists, DBT practitioners, and newcomers alike will relish this rare opportunity.
In this initial session, Linehan works with a fascinating and difficult client. He makes it clear that he is actively suicidal, has little faith in therapy, and is not necessarily committed to treatment. He bobs and weaves as Linehan works with him, concealing some of the most damaging aspects of his own past behaviors and painting himself as an angry and wounded victim. With her upfront and frank style, Linehan defines the client's goals, makes clear to him which behaviors must change immediately, and gets him to agree to postpone suicidality in favor of further investigating her treatment. Throughout the session, Linehan gives voiced-over explanations of why she made certain choices and what compelled her towards different interventions. Prepare to be fascinated, both by the client and by Linehan!
By watching this video, you will learn:
How to conduct an initial behavioral assessment using DBT
How to implement elements of DBT style and strategy with your own clients

By Otto Kernberg
Preeminent psychoanalyst Otto Kernberg doesn't back down in this series of three diagnostic Transference-Focused Psychotherapy (TFP) sessions with a paranoid client struggling with suicidal depression after being left by his girlfriend.
Alfred, a 40-year-old client seamlessly portrayed by Dutch actor Henk Grashuis, is an extremely challenging client who manifests significant Axis II issues. This solitary night receptionist struggles with suicidal ideation, anger, and a sense that he has been treated unfairly by his sister and ex-girlfriendˇXall of which is hidden behind a brittle defensiveness that could spark a strong countertransference reaction in many therapists. Kernberg patiently conducts an initial assessment interspersed with Transference-Focused Psychotherapy techniques, including diagnostic "structural interviewing" regarding symptoms, personality, degree of identity diffusion or integration, and reality testing.
Relational, analytic, and attachment-oriented, Kernberg attends to Alfred in an engaged yet neutral way that gradually allows him to speak with less caution, reveal a desire for connection, and commit to further therapy. Relentless in his commitment to his client, Kernberg graciously offers us a substantial primer on TFP that's sure to leave you impressed and inspired.

Therapists of all orientations will benefit from seeing how psychoanalytic and psychodynamic principles can be effectively adapted to short-term therapy with clients and patients facing issues of grief, death and dying.
Milton Viederman, MD, brings his psychoanalytic orientation to actual hospital consultations with cancer patients.
In this companion volume, Viederman continues his exploration of the application of psychoanalytic principles to brief therapy. While many of us feel comfortable meeting clients on our own turf, we are often less certain how to navigate the therapeutic relationship in a hospital setting with visibly ill patients. Working quickly to assess the conscious and unconscious coping mechanisms that affect the patient's experience of illness and treatment, Viederman's main objective is to create a supportive relationship and relive patient distress. Interspersed with illuminating commentary, Viederman skillfully demonstrates when to probe defensive structures and when to leave them alone so as not to increase the patient's anxiety.

By Cathy Cole
Learn how to effectively support and empower adolescents dealing with health concerns using Motivational Interviewing skills and techniques.
In this course, MI trainer Cathy Cole, LCSW, outlines the basic principles of MI known as the "MI Spirit," and together with colleague Nikki Cockern, PhD, demonstrates how to apply these principles in 4 sessions with high school and college-age teens dealing with serious health issues: HIV, weight management, Type 1 diabetes, and risky sexual behavior.
Covering the four MI processes, change talk and sustain talk, and "the righting reflex" - our natural yet ill-advised urge to "fix" our clients - Cole emphasizes the method's nonjudgmental, client-centered nature.
In sessions with Sean, Carlotta, Olga, and Missy, you'll observe how to use MI to manage risk, communicate nonjudgment, deepen rapport, and draw out your clients' innate strengths. This video also offers realistic commentary, in which Cole discusses both the successes and the challenges of each session and how to work with your own "righting reflex."
You will see why MI is so widely adopted in health-care settings and how its spirit of collaboration reduces resistance and promotes adolescent interest in change.
