Perfectionism, or the tendency to demand or require perfection for oneself or others can be seen as an attempt to gain acceptance and avoid rejection or abandonment. Simultaneously, however, perfectionism can interfere with the establishment and maintenance of interpersonal connections and close relationships. Although perfectionism develops in a relational context, the impact it has on other behaviors can result in the fear of being criticized or judged. Effective therapists must acknowledge these nuances and work with the client to explore components of the client's perfectionism, while effecting changes so that the client can meet his or her own needs without feeling the need to be perfect. In this video program, Dr. Paul L. Hewitt demonstrates his approach to helping clients who struggle with perfectionism, an integration of psychodynamic psychotherapy and interpersonal theory framework that emphasizes the importance of clinical formulation and the establishment of an effective therapeutic relationship.

Many presenting issues, from psychopathology to anxiety to relationship issues, can result from an individual having been alone in the face of overwhelming and painful emotions. The core of accelerated experiential dynamic psychotherapy (or AEDP) is helping clients experience previously feared-to-be-unbearable emotions in the context of an emotionally engaged, therapeutic relationship, and subsequently processing these emotions to completion.This process releases adaptive tendencies and provides the central agent of change in AEDP as clients regain access to resources and resilience that have been unavailable because of their emotional defenses.In this video program, Dr. Ron Frederick demonstrates how to use AEDP with a client who is experiencing relationships issues. In the session, Dr. Frederick works with a lesbian, Latinx woman who is unhappy in her current relationship.Watch as he emphasizes emotional regulation and processing, taking special care to help the client work with feelings she has long defended against experiencing.

Interpersonal psychotherapy is a focused, empirically grounded approach to treatment for clients with depression and other mental health issues. Developed by Gerald L. Klerman and Myrna M. Weissman, interpersonal psychotherapy is a psychodynamic-based approach that uses a medical model to conceptualize presenting problems and then uses present-focused, active, and supportive techniques that help clients with their life issues. The theoretical framework of this approach is that mental health disorders generally occur in an interpersonal context. Therapy therefore focuses on finding the connection between the client’s presenting issues and the client’s social circumstances, and then helping the client learn ways to resolve and anticipate interpersonal challenges, taking care to reiterate throughout therapy how doing so can help reduce troublesome mental health symptoms. In this video, Dr. Ellen Frank introduces this approach, demonstrates it with a client, and then discusses key moments from the demonstration with a panel of mental health practitioners and students.

In Rupture and Repair in Psychotherapy, Dr. Chris Muran and Dr. Catherine Eubanks discuss the common challenge of alliance rupture and how to work through this phenomenon to a positive therapeutic outcome.

In this video program, Dr. Karen Kranz demonstrates her approach to Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy, or AEDP, during the first session with a client. Engaging with the client emotionally, AEDP is a method that aims to provide a safe and secure attachment relationship with a trusted therapist and is co-created through dyadic affect regulation and undoing the client’s feelings of isolation.Dr. Kranz’ approach to AEDP also emphasizes healing-oriented outcomes as opposed to pathology. Within this safe relationship, clients are helped to engage an innate transformational experience and express emotions that may have once been previously considered to be too overwhelming to experience alone.In the therapy demonstration, Dr. Kranz works with the client to embrace a transformative healing change, from a core neurobiological standpoint.
