What therapists are saying…

"These unique videos demonstrate how a master clinician, Dr. Stephanie Brown, understands and works with alcoholic patients. These videos will be serve both the experienced clinician as well as those less familiar with alcoholism, treating them to a scholarly but readily understandable presentation by one of our most learned clinicians and teachers in the field."

-- Edward J. Khantzian, MD, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School
"The Stephanie Brown video series is an excellent teaching tool for the university graduate MFT students in my Substance Abuse Disorders and Treatment course. Dr. Brown lays out her developmentally based treatment strategy and shows how to actually put it into action with a client. My students, many of whom are clinic interns already, found not just rhetoric, but a conceptualization and tools they could start using immediately."

-- Nancy Young, PhD, Adjunct Professor of Psychology, Chapman University, California
"Absolutely superb! One of the very best training videos I've ever seen. Valuable for beginning and experienced clinicians."

-- Ellyn Bader, PhD, Director, The Couples Institute; Co-Author, Tell Me No Lies and In Quest of the Mythical Mate
"These videos illustrate the process of recovery from both the patient's and the therapist's perspective. A must for anyone contemplating work in employee assistance, chemical dependency treatment, and general psychotherapy."
