SPECIFIC TREATMENTS FOR SPECIFIC POPULATIONS: FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS AND BEHAVIORAL ACTIVATION FOR SUBSTANCE 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.

ADDICTIVE DISORDERS

Addictive disorders occur when an individual uses a substance or medication to the point where they experience clinically significant stress or functional impairment, leading to possible intoxication, abuse, addiction, and withdrawal. Those suffering from addictive disorders may have their cognition, perceptions, or physiology debilitated. They may continue to use substances, even with they experience negative effects. They may be so dependent, that ceasing or reducing substance use causes negative consequences.

IMPULSE AND CONDUCT DISORDERS

Because children are discovering the world and don't have much experience, they tend to act on their impulses. Due to the lack of verbal skills to express themselves, they may yell, hit, and take the things they want without much thought until they begin to mature. Through a variety of factors, some nature, some nurture, many children learn to better manage these impulsive emotions and behaviors so that they can reflect on their actions to become more caring, considerate members of society. However, some children may grow into adolescents and adults who are unable to control their emotions and behaviors: they may break rules, lie, steal, or physically harm other people, regardless if they recognize that these things are disruptive to others' lives and their own. Individuals with these disorders share a common difficulty in resisting impulses.

BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND HEALTH COUNSELING: ASSESSING ALCOHOL PROBLEMS USING MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING

With Linda Carter Sobell, PhD, ABPP and Mark Sobell, PhD, ABPP

In Assessing Alcohol Problems Using Motivational Interviewing, Dr. Linda Sobell demonstrates cognitive-behavioral motivational interviewing techniques for assessing a patient's alcohol use, and then she and Dr. Mark Sobell discuss this useful approach for working with individuals with substance use disorders. Motivational interviewing is a client-centered, directive method for eliciting intrinsic motivation to change by exploring and resolving a person's ambivalence to change using open-ended questions, reflective listening, and decisional balancing. This nonjudgmental, nonconfrontational interviewing style is designed to minimize a patient's resistance. The goal is to construct an interaction with patients so they feel comfortable discussing their risky or problem behavior.

In this session, Dr. Linda Sobell works with a young man with a history of problem drinking whose recent break-up with his girlfriend triggered increased risky alcohol use. Dr. Sobell assesses his readiness for change and then interviews him about triggers, behaviors, and cognitions associated with his drinking, emphasizing throughout that the patient has the choice to change, thereby empowering the patient.

BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND HEALTH COUNSELING: SMOKING CESSATION

With Bonnie J. Spring, PhD

In Smoking Cessation, Dr. Bonnie J. Spring demonstrates her behavioral approach to helping clients quit smoking. Nicotine addiction is a psychological as well as a physical phenomenon, so this approach focuses on recognizing the triggers for smoking and learning new ways to react to those triggers by replacing smoking with other behaviors.

In this session, Dr. Spring works with a 42-year-old woman who is also a recovering alcoholic. She first looks at how the client is conflicted over smoking, cataloging what attracts and repels the client about the habit and, without pressuring her, tries to move the client toward choosing her own path toward smoking cessation.

PSYCHOTHERAPY IN SIX SESSIONS: RELAPSE PREVENTION OVER TIME

With G. Alan Marlatt, PhD

In Relapse Prevention Over Time, G. Alan Marlatt demonstrates his approach to helping clients with substance addictions prevent or cope with relapses during efforts to change addictive behavior. Relapse prevention is a cognitive-behavioral, "maintenance stage" approach taken only after a client commits to either abstinence or moderation, and it is usually used in conjunction with or following clients' participation in another treatment program.

In this series of six sessions, Dr. Marlatt works with a man in his 30s who is striving to overcome a cocaine addiction. During these six sessions, Dr. Marlatt helps the client determine high-risk situations and potential triggers for relapse and teaches skills for getting through these situations. Together they work to restructure the guilt and shame that arise after lapses in abstinence. This compassionate intervention effectively reframes relapse as a mistake to learn from - and avoid - as the client moves toward recovery.

BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND HEALTH COUNSELING: DRUG AND ALCOHOL ABUSE

With William Richard Miller, PhD

In Drug and Alcohol Abuse, Dr. William Richard Miller demonstrates his approach to treating clients with problems involving substance abuse. Drug and alcohol abuse are a common presenting problem in therapy, second only to depression, so it benefits therapists to have an approach ready for this issue. Dr. Miller uses motivational interviewing, a Rogerian technique designed to increase a client's sense that he or she is capable of handling the problems they confront.

In this session, Dr. Miller works with a woman who has been in and out of recovery for use of various substances who is aiming toward reducing her substance use. By reflectively listening and pointing out her strengths, Dr. Miller guides the client toward recognizing other interests in her life with which she can replace drug and alcohol use

SPECIFIC TREATMENTS FOR SPECIFIC POPULATIONS: COGNITIVE-BEHAVIORAL RELAPSE PREVENTION FOR ADDICTIONS

With G. Alan Marlatt, PhD

In Cognitive-Behavioral Relapse Prevention for Addictions, Dr. G. Alan Marlatt demonstrates his approach to working with clients dealing with addictions or compulsive habits such as substance abuse, gambling, or sexual addiction. Cognitive-behavioral relapse prevention helps clients through the process of relapse recovery by focusing on cognitive, behavioral, and lifestyle choices that might be changed or reinforced to help the client prevent relapse. Central to this approach is the work of identifying relapse triggers and developing coping strategies. In this session, Dr. Marlatt works with a 41-year-old woman who has been abusing alcohol for a number of years and seeks help with quitting.

This DVD features a client portrayed by an actor on the basis of actual case material.

SPECIFIC TREATMENTS FOR SPECIFIC POPULATIONS: PROBLEM GAMBLING

With Nancy M. Petry, PhD

In Problem Gambling, Dr. Nancy M. Petry discusses and illustrates her brief, cognitive-behavioral approach to treating clients with gambling problems. Her manualized approach includes handouts and homework emphasizing self-monitoring and motivation to change.

In this session, Dr. Petry works with a 21-year-old man named Brian who gambles four to five times per week. He works delivering pizzas and makes good tips, attends junior college, and plans to go to a 4-year college. He gambles on riverboat casinos, regularly plays poker with friends, and also places bets with bookies.

Dr. Petry illustrates the first of her eight-session program, demonstrating the start of the treatment process. Brian is typical of a younger problem gambler who has begun to develop some substantial issues related to gambling but, nevertheless, is in some degree of denial. Dr. Petry demonstrates how to integrate the cognitive-behavioral therapy within this context and thereby highlights the adaptability of this approach for a variety of individuals with gambling problems.

    DSM-5 AND PSYCHODIAGNOSTIC INTERVIEWING, THE - VOLUME 1: PSYCHIATRIC DIAGNOSIS AND INTERVIEWING

    By Jason Buckles & Victor Yalom

    The DSM 5 and Psychodiagnostic Interviewing, Jason Buckles and Victor Yalom take a nuanced and critical look at psychiatric diagnosis and the DSM-5, and then demonstrate in a step-by-step manner the components and skills necessary to do a diagnostic interview.

    Whether you love the DSM or hate it, as a clinician you need to understand how to use it and how to avoid misusing it. The best clinicians seamlessly combine diagnostic interviewing and excellent rapport-building during the initial session, and in this video you'll learn how to do just that.

    Begins with Jason Buckles and Victor Yalom digging deep into some of the most fundamental questions in the field of mental health: What is a mental disorder? What is a diagnosis? What are the benefits as well as the drawbacks of conceptualizing human problems as disorders? Is it appropriate to use the medical model to treat mental illness? What are some of the dangers of diagnosing culturally normative behaviors as disorders? The many valuable uses of our diagnostic system - from having a common language among professionals, to securing insurance coverage, to scientific research - are seamlessly woven into their dynamic discussion as well.

    In the second half of the video, you'll get clear step-by-step instructions, illustrated with short clinical demonstrations, of the various components of doing a diagnostic interview: How do you introduce the interview to the client and get their consent? How can you ask the necessary questions to both hone in on a particular diagnosis and rule out others? How do you push a client for more specific information while also being mindful of attending to the alliance, especially in the first session? And finally, how do you bring it all together, weighing the information you've obtained to decide what their diagnosis is, or isn't, while keeping in mind that not all clients seeking help meet the criteria for a diagnosis?

    This is the only series of its kind to take a complex and critical approach to the DSM, and Buckles and Yalom manage a delicate balance - neither cheerleading for the DSM nor taking a slash-and-burn approach. You are certain to have a better understanding of the DSM-5 and psychodiagnostic interviewing after watching it.

    DSM-5 AND PSYCHODIAGNOSTIC INTERVIEWING, THE - VOLUME 3: DIAGNOSING DEPRESSIVE, BIPOLAR, AND ALCOHOL USE DISORDERS

    By Jason Buckles & Victor Yalom

    Covers diagnoses that can sometimes overlap and be hard to distinguish from one another: Depressive and persistent depressive disorders, bipolar and substance use disorders.

    Depression is widespread in Western cultures but with so many varieties of depression and differences among how people experience it, how do we diagnose it and rule out the myriad other disorders that sometimes masquerade as depression? What constitutes mania? What's the difference between Bipolar I and II? When is depression "persistent" and when does it became serious enough to warrant a major depressive diagnosis? Can they coexist? How do you know if substance use is causing depression and how do you skillfully ply information from clients about their substance use when they would rather you don't?

    Watch as Jason Buckles gently structures his questions and interactions to cover the necessary bases while listening carefully, joining, pacing, and allowing inconsistencies to simply be part of the interactions. Before, during, and after each vignette, commentary and explanations by both Buckles and Victor Yalom enhance the viewers learning experience, as well as voiceovers that describe diagnostic information, and explain skills and interventions as they are happening in live sessions with clients. Mental health professionals will benefit from the comprehensive presentation of symptoms and clinical skills provided in this video. Without sacrificing empathy, warmth, or humor, see how to gather targeted information to confidently arriving at an accurate diagnosis.

    ENCOUNTER GROUPS FOR ADDICTIONS VOLUME I: EVOLUTION OF THE ENCOUNTER GROUP

    With Rod Mullen

    Mullen explores the evolution of encounter groups beginning with the first groups created by Synanon founder Chuck Dederich in the 1950s. Mullen discusses the essential elements of these first groups including honesty, authenticity and mutual self-help - elements that are still core to encounter groups today. He highlights that although the brutal confrontational style of the first groups have softened, the commitment to hold oneself and other accountable remains central. He also discusses the challenges that face encounter groups and offers guidance on how to work within managed care systems while holding on to the traditions that make encounter groups such an effective means for change.

    From watching this program, you'll be able to:

  • Describe the most integral aspects of encounter groups that have remained relevant from the 1950s to the present.
  • Discuss the early history of encounter groups and how they came about.

Through numerous vignettes, he illustrates solutions to these common problems, and offers words of experience and wisdom to the encounter group facilitator: know your people, be prepared, get feedback, and listen, listen, listen!

    From watching this program, you'll be able to:

  • Implement strategies for breaking the we/they dichotomy between staff and group members.
  • Explain why it is important for a facilitator to know the members of his or her group and what the dangers are if they don't.

He first explores the "marathon group" and how these day or weeklong sessions can bring participants into deeper understanding of themselves and what they need to change. He then discusses the importance of moral growth and ways in which facilitators can lead groups that foster moral growth by providing credible role models, healthy levels of conflict, role-reversal, and the teaching of responsibility. Finally, Mullen discusses the prevalence of PTSD among addicts and how encounter groups offer opportunities to heal from childhood abuse.

    From watching this program, you'll be able to discuss:

  • Describe ways marathon groups differ from regular encounter groups, the importance of them for group members, and different possibilities for doing them today.
  • Discuss the conditions a facilitator must create to foster moral growth within group members.

    GROUP THERAPY FOR ADDICTIONS: AN INTERPERSONAL RELAPSE PREVENTION APPROACH

    By Devin Ashwood & Tim Leighton

    Group therapy is a powerful and widely used modality in recovery programs, but too often group leaders lack a coherent and effective clinical framework. This video program will show you how to harness the interpersonal power of groups to work successfully with clients struggling with addictions.

This refreshing video begins to close the gap by presenting a rich series of vignettes from an interpersonal process group for clients in early-stage recovery. Here, you'll watch Tim Leighton and his UK-based team of addiction experts demonstrate key elements of this experiential model, shown in an outpatient setting. If you work with clients in recovery - or if you simply enjoy group work - this video will give you an array of necessary skills for leading successful interpersonal therapy groups.

    By watching this video, you will:
  • Learn about the theoretical underpinnings of interpersonal group therapy, and how they apply to clients in recovery.
  • Understand how to lead a group through an experiential process while supporting client autonomy.
  • Gain tools for working with client resistance and challenging feedback.

    MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING FOR ADOLESCENT SUBSTANCE USE

    By Sebastian Kaplan, PhD, & Ali Hall, JD

    Acquire practical Motivational Interviewing tools to help you manage challenging sessions with adolescent clients struggling with substance use.

    Working with adolescents can be challenging enough without adding substance use issues to the mix. When teens' age-appropriate desire for autonomy gets compromised by substance use and addiction, it can be difficult for clinicians to effectively navigate heightened levels of client ambivalence alongside their own "righting reflex" - their desire to fix their clients.

    In this compelling new video, Sebastian Kaplan, PhD, and Ali Hall, JD, demonstrate how to manage these elements using tools from Motivational Interviewing, a client-centered alternative to traditional, often confrontational addiction treatment. Here, you'll discover how to deepen rapport, diffuse resistance, and draw out adolescent clients' intrinsic strengths.

    Learn strategies to engage teenage clients who do not even want to be in your office, much less receive treatment, through clinical demonstrations with three adolescent clients using marijuana, heroin, and opiates. Develop your skills to support adolescent clients, without conveying the disrespect they might expect from adults in authority roles.

    This course is a must If you're seeking resources for teens, addiction and recovery, or client-centered counseling.
