This clip is an excerpt taken from the APA Psychotherapy Video Series program: The Human and Relational Core of Psychotherapy.
The Human and Relational Core of Psychotherapy is a demonstration and discussion of Dr. David N. Elkins’s approach to helping clients overcome unresolved issues. In this approach, the therapeutic work focuses on employing the human factors of psychotherapy to facilitate change. Such human elements include fostering a firm therapeutic alliance and deemphasizing modalities and techniques that are commonly used in traditional paradigms of psychotherapy. In the full video program, Dr. Elkins works with a woman who is coming into therapy to address her feelings surrounding the loss of her mother.
This video features a client portrayed by an actor on the basis of actual case material.
