In this videotape, Judith Beck, Ph.D. interviews a depressed patient. While the videotape can stand on its own, it is a valuable companion to Dr. Aaron T. Beck's classic videotapes, providing explanations of the techniques he uses in the videotapes listed above. This videotape is in two parts. In the first part, Dr. Judith Beck is interviewed about the forthcoming therapy session with a depressed patient. The interview continues periodically throughout the therapy session, as Dr. Beck explains what she is doing and why. In the second part of the videotape, the viewer can watch the entire therapy session without interruption. Dr. Beck illustrates the basics of cognitive therapy: doing a mood check, setting and prioritizing an agenda, discussing a problem, collecting data, eliciting and responding to automatic thoughts and images, problem-solving, assigning homework, and eliciting feedback. Running time: 95 mins. Judith Beck, Ph.D., is director of the Beck Institute for Cognitive Therapy and Research in suburban Philadephia, and a Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychology in Psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Beck divides her time among administration, teaching and supervision, clinical work, research, and writing.

They're all part of the innovative, new "Brief Therapy Inside Out" video series -- a unique series that puts you directly in the therapy room to watch as leading therapists show their approaches in action. Each video presents one 45-minute session -- unrehearsed and with real clients (not actors!). And each opens with an introductory interview with video series hosts Drs. Jon Carlson and Diane Kjos and the respective guest therapist. In a closing Q&A segment, important moments from each video are replayed to highlight turning points in the therapist-client interaction and key interventions. Accept this invitation to sit in on therapy with the masters -- and see the promise and the reality of a range of brief therapy approaches. |
