Full Description:   

An ideal introduction to time-effective methods, this video program shows in step-by-step detail how to create a meaningful first session and why time-effective methods are beneficial for all therapists, regardless of orientation. Your concerns are addressed as an assembled group of clinicians respond to the case presentation and Dr. Budman's comments. The accompanying 46-page manual features an annotated transcript of the case material, suggestions for group discussion, elaboration on the clinical use of the Prochaska and DiClemente Change Process Model, and an annotated listing of significant readings.

"Viewers will find Treating Time Effectively informative....Will hold full attention of trainees and of others interested in a detailed, thoughtful examination of what can occur during a first psychotherapy session."
-Crisis Intervention

"What might have been a dry and clinical presentation in less capable hands is instead a highly watchable program. The reenactment is well done and appears spontaneous....The 46-page manual is a valuable tool in itself. It includes extensive supporting material on time-effective psychotherapy, an expanded transcript of the case material, suggestions for stimulating group discussion during and after the screening, and an annotated bibliography....Treating Time Effectively presents one way to control the cost of psychotherapy. Recommended for medical libraries and other specialized libraries that serve the mental health profession."

"I am impressed....Dr. Budman is undoubtedly the most important trainer in an era where retraining of all psychotherapists is a must for survival."
