This two DVD set demonstrates principles for resolving difficult therapeutic impasses that can lead to treatment failure. Jeremy Safran and Chris Muran provide a systematic framework to guide therapists in dealing with such impasses. The DVDs serve as a valuable companion to the authors' influential book: "Negotiating the Therapeutic Alliance: A Relational Training Guide", and also stand alone as an invaluable training tool. They demonstrate relevant techniques with hostile, withdrawn and compliant clients. Clinical vignettes are accompanied by illuminating commentaries to maximize the learning experience.The first DVD illustrates basic principles of therapeutic metacommunication as a tool for collaboratively exploring and working through vicious cycles that are being enacted in the therapeutic relationship. Particular attention is paid to the role that mindfulness can play in helping therapists to harness and work constructively with the intense, conflictual, and painful thoughts and feelings that emerge for patients and within themselves, during difficult therapeutic encounters. The second DVD demonstrates the specific resolution processes associated with different types of alliance ruptures. Cover design by Paul Gordon This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply. |

Connecting by Leslie Greenberg  5 Stars
June 13, 2006
This is a wonderful example of research informing practice. Helpful to beginners and experienced parctitioners alike.These are excellent training materials for therapists interested in refining their skills for working through difficult junctures in psychotherapy. Informed by cutting-edge developments emerging from relational psychoanalysis and from their own systematic research program, Safran and Muran have developed an important approach for resolving therapeutic impasses. Now for the first time, viewers will be able to observe Safran demonstrate this approach with a range of different problems, and follow along as Safran and Muran comment on the clinical vignettes and highlight relevant principles. An invaluable training tool.

Excellent Training Materials by Stanley Messer (Piscataway, NJ) 5 Stars
June 12, 2006
This is a very well conceived DVD set that offers psychotherapists and graduate students ready access to the work of a master clinician, Jeremy Safran, demonstrating his and Chrstopher Muran's model of relational psychotherapy. What makes it particularly good training material is how these clinician/researchers alternate between presenting case vignettes and commentary in which they explain, from their relational perspective, how to resolve impasses in the therapeutic relationship. The 3 kinds of patients--overly-intellectualized, angry and overly-compliant--make for high interest viewing and optimal learning possibilities. There are very few comparable materials available that provide this kind of vivd and stimulatinog learning opportunity for both the novice and experienced practitioner. I plan to use these DVDs in my graduate class in brief psychodynamic therapy.

One of the most valuable tools a psychotherapist can count on by Louis Castonguay 5 Stars
June 06, 2006
This two DVD set on the negotiation of therapeutic alliance ruptures provides vivid illustrations of sophisticated and vitally important clinical skills. Recognized as the foremost experts on alliance ruptures, Safran and Muran demonstrate the use of clinical principles and strategies that they have developed based on extensive clinical experience and research, as well as a sophisticated integration of a broad array of theoretical traditions. They also illustrate models emerging from their highly respected research program that can be used as specific guidelines for repairing different types of alliance ruptures. Irrespective of their levels of experience, theoretical orientations, and professional backgrounds, therapists and researchers will benefit from seeing how these strategies can not only resolve therapeutic impasses, but can also provide patients with transformative experiences. I predict that this DVD set will become one of the most valuable tools a therapist can count on to deal with the challenges and complexities of clinical practice.

In this magisterial opus, capping a lifetime of work and personal experience, Dr. Yalom helps us recognize that the fear of death is at the heart of much of our anxiety.
