Live Case Consultation DVD – Irvin Yalom

Salepage link: At HERE. Archive:

This video clearly shows how Irvin Yalom’s theories can be applied to the types of cases you are likely to encounter in your every day psychotherapy practice. An invaluable resource for professional development for therapists of all orientations.

Three therapists with varying levels of experience present the following cases to master existential-humanistic and group psychotherapist Irvin Yalom:

Sue: 50 year old divorced woman struggling to find meaning in her life after a failed marriage and an empty nest.

Paul: Artist with work inhibitions, yearning for more in his life.

Jeffrey: Group therapy patient seeking help to control angy outbursts in marriage.

Dr. Yalom responds to both the clinical issues and the therapists’ reactions and countertransference, always looking for opportunities to bring more focus into the here-and-now of the therapeutic relationship. He highlights key existential themes, interweaving ideas from writers and philosophers who have influenced his thinking, and well as clinical vignettes from his own practice.
