In Psychotherapy Integration Over Time, Dr. George Stricker demonstrates one form of this commonly used type of therapy. All varieties of psychotherapy integration share one basic tenet: the necessity to be free to combine approaches and techniques so as to tailor therapy to the needs of the client. Most therapists, even those who claim strict adherence to one orientation, practice some form of psychotherapy integration in that they sometimes use techniques from other therapies. Psychotherapy integration, however, involves more than simply borrowing techniques: It requires paying close attention to the relationship between technique and theory.
In this video, Dr. Stricker demonstrates assimilative integration, which takes a single theoretical understanding - in this case, relational psychodynamic therapy - and incorporates techniques from other approaches.
Dr. Stricker works with a married woman in her late 40s who has an adult child and a grandchild living at home. At the beginning of therapy, the client is on the verge of ending her marriage. Dr. Stricker helps the client to work through her feelings about her husband, including her fear of separation and difficulty starting new relationships.
During the six sessions of therapy, viewers will have the chance to watch as Dr. Stricker seamlessly incorporates different techniques into the therapy according to changing client needs, with the goal of helping her become more emotionally secure.

In Psychotherapy Over Time, Dr. Jon Carlson works with a client over the course of six psychotherapy sessions. These sessions provide an example of how therapy can empower and help clients to begin to develop new thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In these sessions, Dr. Carlson works with a 30-year-old woman named Aimee, a single mother who has always sought to please others rather than take care of herself. When she begins therapy she is depressed and expresses fears about her ex-husband harming her and her two teenage sons. As therapy progresses, she begins to transform her thoughts and behavior by developing her ability to state her needs and by reducing her negative self-talk. Over the course of therapy she becomes empowered and positive, developing a stronger connection with her mother and other family members as well as new confidence and the ability to care for herself. This six-session set offers an exciting opportunity to witness positive therapeutic change over time.

In Cognitive–Behavioral Therapy for Perfectionism Over Time, Dr. Martin M. Antony demonstrates his approach to working with clients wrestling with issues surrounding maladaptive perfectionism. Perfectionism can be defined as a tendency to set standards that are unreasonably high, and to measure an individual's worth in terms of their ability to meet these standards. Typically, these perfectionistic standards are applied to oneself. Perfectionism is sometimes associated with anxiety or related disorders, and therefore resolving a client's anxiety may result in a decrease in more debilitating manifestations of perfectionism.In this series of six sessions, Dr. Antony works with a young woman who is completing a graduate degree in psychology. She strives for perfection in many areas, including her school work and her family life. She is overly concerned with organizing, planning, and succeeding at everything she does, and also has occasional panic attacks and issues concerning her body image. In these sessions, Dr. Antony helps her to challenge thoughts about not meeting her goals and to learn to deal with the resulting stress rather than giving in to her drive to be perfect.

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.

In Existential–Humanistic Therapy Over Time, Dr. Kirk J. Schneider demonstrates this distinctly American expression of existential therapy. Emphasizing freedom, experiential reflection, and responsibility, this approach draws from Schneider's existential–integrative framework. The goal of this therapy is to help clients free themselves from self-imposed limitations. The focus of the approach is here-and-now, which involves frequently asking clients to check in with their emotions and bodily sensations. By not only discussing, but experiencing the problems they face in-session, clients come to a deeper understanding of their authentic life goals, versus those imposed by others or by a rigid sense of self. In this series of six sessions, Dr. Schneider works with a woman in her late 40s who has come to therapy with many challenges: a history of abuse, depression, alcoholism, and recent losses, including her brother being killed before the third session of therapy. By being truly present with the client, and showing her how to be present with herself, Dr. Schneider helps her to see the bigger picture of her life, and through that awareness address her most pressing concerns, such as fear and guilt, the need to grieve, and the struggle for life-purpose.

In Feminist Therapy Over Time, Dr. Laura S. Brown demonstrates how this qualitative and phenomenological approach, which takes into account the meanings of gender and power in the client's social realities, empowers the client.
The goals of the therapy are determined collaboratively within the session, creating not just tailor-made therapy, but an egalitarian relationship conducive to client empowerment. This relationship, in which each person brings equally valued expertise to the process, is essential to the therapeutic goal of helping clients to feel more personal power in their lives.
Over the course of six sessions, Dr. Brown works with a 43-year-old woman who has three children and a history of substance abuse, poor relationship choices, and feeling unloved, unappreciated, and devalued. She also has struggled for years with her size and how she feels about her body. Although she is now in early recovery and feels more stable in her life, she suffers from critical self-talk and a habit of blaming herself for things for which she is not responsible, as well as difficulties in being able to take feedback about her own actions.
Dr. Brown talks with the client about developing self-empathy, learning to quiet the critical voice she hears, and recognizing that caring for herself is empowering. The client is invited to see that she has many of the inner resources that she needs for her recovery process, with a goal of reducing her reliance on the authority of others, including the therapist.

In Brief Dynamic Therapy Over Time, Dr. Hanna Levenson demonstrates how a time-efficient therapy can be brief and yet deep—how a short-term therapy can create long-term change. Time-limited dynamic psychotherapy, an empirically supported approach, is a form of brief dynamic therapy that originated within the object relations tradition.As used by Dr. Levenson, time-limited dynamic psychotherapy is an integrative model incorporating recent developments in attachment, experiential, relational, and systems approaches. This approach provides a specialized method for deriving a therapeutic focus that delineates the client's co-created, chronic, maladaptive ways of relating to others. The goals of the therapy are to create corrective interpersonal experiences and new understandings designed to undermine this dysfunctional cyclical pattern.In this series of six sessions, Dr. Levenson works with a young woman who is very positive on the surface and who seems to be living a happy life. Working with the time-limited dynamic psychotherapy approach, it becomes apparent even in the first session that the client has suffered for years from depression; there are deep emotions that she has not expressed to anyone because she fears she will be abandoned if she does.Dr. Levenson works with the client to help her experience and express her feelings within the sessions, and learn why she needed to suppress them earlier in life. As the therapy progresses, the client moves from hiding her emotions to sharing them, both in the session and with those closest to her.

In Narrative Therapy Over Time, Stephen Madigan demonstrates his poststructural approach to narrative therapy, originally developed by David Epston and Michael White. Narrative therapy is informed by the anti-individualist idea that people are multistoried and multisited—that is, people have many interacting narratives in their lives, and problems are not located nor privatized inside the body of the client (problems such as anorexia and anxiety are influenced and shaped by social and cultural discourses such as gender, race, and perfectionism).
The purpose of narrative therapy is a rich engagement in the re-storying of people's lives and relationships. Madigan highlights how narrative therapy practice is based in the re-consideration, re-appreciation, and re-authoring of clients' preferred lives and relationships.
In this series of six sessions, Madigan works with a man in his 50s who talks about his struggle with anxiety. The client tells the story of how anxiety and nervousness have kept him inside his home for 2 full years, prohibited him from holding a job for 10 years, and have prevented him from trying to meet other people and develop friendships.
As the client shares these stories that make up his life, he and Madigan uncover alternative narratives, ones that reflect the client's skills, abilities, know-how, and previous evidence of confidence, risk taking and greater social connection. As these sessions unfold, the client comes to a new understanding of himself and begins to re-author his life and develop successful relationships.

In Person-Centered Therapy Over Time, David J. Cain demonstrates a contemporary version of Carl Rogers's pervasively influential approach, which focuses on how the quality of engagement and collaboration between therapist and client can create optimal conditions for growth. This empirically supported therapy emphasizes therapist presence, empathic attunement, acceptance and affirmation of the client, and congruence or authenticity in the therapist.
Person-centered therapy is based in the belief that clients are resourceful persons capable of taking responsibility for their lives and solving their own problems. It emphasizes honoring and preserving clients' autonomy and choice, as well as the client's role as an active participant in all aspects of therapy. In essence, being person-centered means to create a therapy that fits the unique person of the client, so therapists consider clients as experts on what works best for them, and thus engage clients as cotherapists.
In these sessions, Dr. Cain works with a young African American woman grieving the recent loss of her father. As therapy progresses, she comes to terms not only with her loss, but with troublesome aspects of her father's personality and behavior, especially regarding his treatment of her sister. She also gradually learns to let others take responsibility for themselves and to let go of her role as the "responsible one" in her family and social relations.
Throughout these sessions, Dr. Cain provides an empathic, affirming presence that enables the client to feel accepted and safe, and to develop insights about how she approaches life and her capacity to make effective choices.
