Existential-Humanistic Psychotherapy in Action
Existential-Humanistic Psychotherapy in Action shows this legendary clinician and teacher conducting two actual psychotherapy sessions with the same client. Witness Bugental put into practice the concepts he has written about in numerous classic texts and over 100 journal articles and chapters:

• Facilitating client and therapist presence
• Working with resistance (to fuller living, not just to therapy)
• Balancing confrontation with support
• Reinforcing client subjectivity as fertile ground for true depth work
• Guiding clients into the search process

Each session is followed by a thoughtful group discussion with Dr. Bugental; further insight is added when the client shares her reflections. The depth and sensitivity of Dr. Bugental's approach are such that you'll want to study them again and again — they are the perfect training videos for beginning and experienced therapists alike.
"Bugental is a master. I have learned a great deal from his books so it was great to see him at work. Thanks for putting the video out."
   - Tom Breitenbucher - PhD, Psychologist St. Paul, Minnesota

"I watched Dr. Bugental in action and I have shared this with my professor and the class. The video has been a great help--I have already put it on my exclusive VIP list of great learning tools. Please keep in touch with all the new products."
   - Grethel Parkins - Graduate Student, Bowie State University, Maryland

"These videos offer a precious glimpse of Jim Bugental as a master of authentic presence and compassionate wisdom in the practice of existential/humanistic psychotherapy. I use them regularly in my teaching of psychotherapists, and I offer my strong recommendation."
   - Michael J Mahoney, PhD - Professor, University of North Texas; Author, Human Change Processes

"A wholesome lesson in the curative powers of courtesy mixed with extraordinary talent."
   - Mary Goulding, M.S.W. - Co-Director, Western Institute for Group and Family Therapy

"Want to witness a care-full crafting of encounter into soul? Study Jim Bugental's work on these videos and learn from one of psychotherapy's most renowned clinicians and theorists."
   - Jeffrey Zeig, PhD - Director, The Milton H. Erikson Institute

"I would recommend that every counsellor chase up an opportunity to watch a video of Bugental in action. To see such a great therapist in interaction with a client, and to witness such an evolved human being expressing to colleagues the way he thinks about his work with clients is a humbling and inspiring experience."
  - Tony Verner, reviewed in Psychotherapy in Australia

I have used this video as the foundation of a year-long Core of Psychotherapy seminar I've taught for many years. It is an exceptional example of how deepening "presence" is the basis of character change. Jim Bugental was as gifted a therapist as they come.
Russell Lemle, PhD, Couples Center of San Francisco
