The skills it takes to support our patients don’t always come easily to us, even those of us called to the helping professions. This informative 5-part video series helps demystify the techniques, as well as the attitudes, necessary to bring about positive outcomes. Each video in the series features two consecutive, contrasting scenarios with the same client/nurse combination, in which you’ll learn how subtle differences in rapport, tone of voice, empathy level, eye contact, and psychoeducational style can lead to marked improvements in both the therapeutic relationship and in clinical results.
This is the first of its kind for our collection. Nowhere else to we contrast neophytes with masters in side-by-side scenarios. Watching masters do their work is a great way to learn, but sometimes the gap between beginning and experienced professionals is so large that it can be hard to internalize their skills. Here, getting a sense of how to do it "wrong," gives a much more tangible sense of how to do it "right."
If you’re a student or practitioner in clinical psychology, counseling, social work, or related health professions, you’ll find valuable takeaways to enhance your skills. Be sure to add this compelling series to your library today.
By watching this series, you will:
- Understand the challenges of being with clients suffering from a range of serious mental health conditions.
- Learn how novice interventions can undermine treatment goals and exacerbate patient distress.
