Counseling and Psychotherapy Theories in Context and Practice: Skills, Strategies, and Techniques

Learn various counseling and psychotherapy theories through authentic examples led by actual practitioners working with real clients

This comprehensive two-DVD set promotes student learning by illustrating the theories covered in the textbook Counseling and Psychotherapy Theories in Context and Practice, Second Edition by John and Rita Sommers-Flanagan. The DVDs can be used in conjunction with this text or as a stand-alone teaching tool in any course covering psychotherapy theories and techniques.

Unique in its presentation of real clinicians from a variety of work settings—including school and college counselors—working with actual clients, the DVDs:

• Feature practitioners and clients who represent ethnic, gender, age, and religious diversity
• Model how to develop positive therapeutic relationships with clients using different theoretical perspectives
• Help students not only understand the differences between theories, but also the difference between theory and technique
• Offer commentary by the authors on how the clinician in the session made decisions from a theoretical perspective as well as why a particular theoretical approach was appropriate for a specific client

Exploring Psychoanalytic, Adlerian, Existential, Person-Centered, Gestalt, Behavioral, Cognitive-Behavioral, Reality, Feminist, Solution-Focused, and Family Systems theories, these two DVDs shed light on how to implement techniques associated with these theories in practice with clients.
