Counseling theory is the compass that allows counselors to navigate the vast territory of clinical practice. A sound counseling theory helps the client and counselor make sense of the client’s experiences and presenting concern. Theory also guides actions toward successful outcomes while generating hope that recovery is possible. Counseling Theories in Action presents four clinicians working with four different clients. The theories represented are Psychodynamic, Adlerian, Gestalt, and Multicultural Feminist. Viewers will see how professionals make sense of their chosen theoretical model and witness a variety of evidence-based theoretical interventions with the client. The series is a perfect complement to teaching a counseling theories course, as the videos “bring theory to life”.

Intervention Techniques for Multicultural Feminist:

• Culturally Sensitive Engagement
• Language as an Intervention
• Understand a Client’s Worldview
• Consciousness Raising
• Strength-Based Empowerment
• “Loteria” (part of Mexican culture and used to bring up memories in work with clients)

In Behavioral Therapy Over Time, Dr. Martin M. Antony demonstrates this classic approach. Although contemporary behavioral therapy has its origins in Skinner's theory of operant conditioning, its current form does not ignore cognition, but instead views thoughts as another form of behavior that can be conditioned and thus changed. This makes behavioral therapy useful in treating anxiety and depression, as well as other disorders in which cognition plays a strong role.In the six sessions on this DVD, Dr. Antony works with a client who suffers from compulsive hoarding. Over the course of therapy, he explores ways of overcoming this behavior, including exposure to discarding unneeded items and learning alternative responses to the urge to hoard. In six sessions, the client begins to learn that she has some control over what had seemed a compulsive behavior.
