About this title

Synopsis

Therapists continually strive for new ways to engage their clients and bring about desirable outcomes in therapy. In the age of managed care, homework is becoming a relied–upon adjunct to brief therapy. Videowork is a therapeutic process in which the therapist assigns films that relate to core issues of on–going therapy for a client to watch between sessions, and then discuss the client′s reactions to the videos in future sessions. This book provides an introduction to using video in therapy and provides a ready–reference for therapists who want to assign videos as homework but need some guidance about what films to select in specific situations.
