Thanks for your comment Margie, great to know that you have found them useful! I'm afraid that I have only filmed these initial openings so far, but your feedback is leading me to consider future projects!
I'm an RN Care Coordinator and am learning more interview/therapy techniques such as MI, CBT, PST, etc. Your therapeutic style really encourages me as I reach out to patients of all walks of life. Thank you Judith for sharing this!
i am an occupational therapist from uganda am greatful for the videos as they touch every aspect a therapist would be interested in while using a cognitive behavioural in providing therapy. keep going on with the great work.
I chose this video out of a list from my professor to complete a case study for my senior level Social Work class. This was SO sad. As someone who struggles with depression, I know the feeling. And it's even worse when people around us don't understand or realize that it is a physical problem. In our class, we learned that depression can be just as debilitating as RRMS. I have RRMS, and I would definitely compare the feeling of my legs feeling heavy, brain fog, and fatigue with depression. I sometimes can't tell the difference between whether I'm having an MS flair or a depressive episode until I have a defining symptom. For example, I know it's MS if my legs completely lose function, and I know it's depression if I start feeling suicidal. But there's a fine line at times, especially since they're rarely mutually exclusive. I hope this girl is doing okay now!
i liked the response of the therapist which was very human and not over medicalised which is a common complaint of clients using the CAMHS service for example - One key thing that is misunderstood; There is no evidence to suggest that CBT is any better than any other modality of therapy - The body of evidence is not comparetive - It is rather like Jeremy Clarkson announcing the Vauxhall Corsa as the best small car by testing it against other Vauxhall Corsas - However that is not to say that CBT is not effective because it is, but so are other ways of working such as Person Centred Approach, Psychodynamic, Gestalt, Existential, Transactional Analysis etc...and when comparetive studies are done all modalities tend to be as effective as one another - The key finding of the research meta analysis identifies the therapeutic relationship between client and therapist as the magic ingredient.
Hi Dr. Johnson, I'm in my second year of my Psychology MA an I love your videos to practice MSEs and differential diagnoses. I also love your hairstyle!
My Affective Communication teacher from Foundation Degree in Science in Health and Social Care suggested us to watch this in preparation for Role play on Wednesday. This is really a good video, but I am a bit nervous. From Northern Ireland.
these are so helpful! Im a newly licensed mental health counselor and I'm new to the process of diagnosis. I'm trying yo prepare myself for my new job at a private practice and just watching sessions is helping me get back in the groove of therapy (I've taken three months off since my last counseling job). Keep posting!!
Right at the start of the video she said 'It's just another thing that's making me stand out for the wrong reasons'. I would have explored this further, such as, what other things does she think are making her stand out for the wrong reasons? Poor kid. I hope she's feeling better now. As for waitressing-that's going to be hard on the first day. Any job you've not done before is going to require learning/making mistakes etc. She's very hard on herself. She feels like a failure. I'm not surprised she'd depressed. Hopefully, the therapy made her see she's not a failure.
I understand the use of actors but allowing someone to consent to the use of a real session would be very useful. The reason for this is the the person in the session is demonstrating emotional, physical, and cognitive issues that can not be demonstrated by most actors. It is not just linguistic content that needs responding to. I think many therapists are just robotic in their application. Frankly the utility of therapy is questionable if the therapist is just looking to apply a script they have been taught. The smarter the client the less effective a script will be.
+Chris Chimera i agree you can can identify the script normalising it was good it helps to know someone listens and not just sitting there thinking of a reply
Chris, there are huge privacy issues around what you are suggesting, so it's highly unlikely that any client would agree to such a thing, and it would be considered unethical of the therapist to ask. These are training videos that are used to demonstrate therapy techniques to students. There is no script, the actress is 'playing' the client and the therapist is reacting to what the 'client' says as it's said. No therapist uses a script in a real session, ever.
Great videos Dr. Johnson, really enjoy the content during my SSW studies. One thing I am curious about is if you offer transcripts or may provide closed captions. I like to read along with transcripts when doing an analysis to really understand the client/counsellor relationship and pick out certain language worth revisiting. All and all, fantastic resources that have helped my learning tremendously. Thank you!
Transcrips would be great please. This is in my course and reviewed for study purposes. A transcript would be very help for 'verbatim' examples. Thank you
Hi everyone, to clarify: the client is played by an actor. However, I am a psychologist (not an actor). The dialogue is not scripted and as such the scene represents a natural exchange.
+domenic rinaldi you know what buddy it was helping me a bit, but you just had to comment and ruin it for me. i dont think i ll find a good therapist nearby.. searching for help on google brought me here... i wish you knew what depression is..!!
Can I ask... and this is just as someone also doing therapy... and I would love to learn and grow... is there a reason you didnt ask about the break what happened? I was thinking it maybe important to know how he broke up with her?
Yeah definitely Has there been a time in your life when you felt like this before ? What was the context of them and what helped you cope or manage them ?
Can someone explain her hair style? My friend has done her hair like this for years, and even pins it down this way if windy. I never wanted to intrude by asking her if it was a personal problem or injury she was covering. She never wears it up either.
I feel personally this client who is an actor is experiencing classic symptoms after a break up.... may not neccesarily be real depression but I felt more like anxiety and greif symptoms which she should be told is perfectly normal until she recovers ....
I really wanna see a therapist but I’m scared to ask my parents. I know I should be and my parents will support me but I’m nervous and scared. Should I tell me parents?
+TheUmkalzum Thanks for watching. Unfortunately this isn't available as this video is a one-off representation of a therapy situation. However, please subscribe for more videos in future.
Sophia Howes Thanks for viewing and for engaging with this video. I'm afraid I cannot give a simple answer to your question, as when we developed this character (the client is played by an actor) we did not base it on a diagnostic category/categories. Here in the UK, Clinical Psychologists tend to emphasise the importance of psychological formulation in order to understand problems, rather than diagnostic categories. Indeed, the British Psychological Society has questioned both the utility and validity of diagnostic categories in their response to the DSM 5. This can be found here: www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&frm=1&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CCYQFjAAahUKEwjhre23xLDHAhVHOhQKHYwKBgo&url=http%3A%2F%2Fapps.bps.org.uk%2F_publicationfiles%2Fconsultation-responses%2FDSM-5%25202011%2520-%2520BPS%2520response.pdf&ei=bwvSVaG6E8f0UIyVmFA&usg=AFQjCNFgsEslsvqc-DoYz3gfuQ8-4ELlGw&sig2=OpS0VrXw2dfqVsul-AZQvQ&bvm=bv.99804247,d.d24 . Thank you again for viewing, and please do subscribe for more videos in future.
Thanks Judith - I'm using your videos to revise for the formulation exam for my MSc in Mental Health Studies, all your videos have been extremely helpful! In the exam we'll watch a video like this and then conduct a systematic patient history, mental state examination, give a differential diagnosis and alternative differential diagnoses. We also have to explain our reason behind the diagnoses so that's why I ask! I completely appreciate there's no way you can make an actual diagnosis - the idea of the exam is just to communicate what area of diagnosis the symptoms of the patient can be best described.
Hi Sophia, well when we developed the character our focus was on her 'low mood', so I think your suggestions are in keeping! Great to know you've found them helpful - good luck with the exam!
+Judith Johnson The use a clarity of diagnostic criteria is essential when underlying personality disorders are present. In the cases of BPD and Narcissistic personality types, wether diagnosed or not (most are not, but will be detected via many criteria including transferential responses) they require entirely different therapeutic approaches. So diagnosis is critical. Also, diagnosis and formulation are the same thing when it comes to practice - they are the focus and framework of the work. Labeling is offensive to people especially in a post modern world, ha ha, however thawqt does not mean that discrete criteria do not exist, simply because we care not for clear lines of demarcation. On the other hand, this allows loose unfocused and less skilled practitioners to say that 'active listening' is enough to make you a therapist. This problem with favouring non diagnostic approaches is that there is a very fine line between those that do know what they are dealing with but sit on it, and those that do not and hide behind the lack of labelling standpoint as a mask to hide lack of clear structural knowedge. This is the problem with post modernism - everything is not the same - it is merely a liberal statement - which actually renders all others obsolete - which is more totalitarian than liberal ironically enough.
Dear Ali, thank you for watching and for your comment. I'm afraid I can't offer therapy/advice online, but hope you find a qualified therapist to support you with your current difficulties.
I appreciate that the biggest benefit for someone who is seeking help is to be able to talk, I find the session to be somewhat reflective? is that the norm? you ask a question and confirm what you've heard? does this type of technique heavily rely on the willingness to talk?
Is this suppose to be an assessment ? Hard to tell as there are some elements that you would cover in assessment but not sure if it’s a case of feedback what already may have been said ?
That is on purpose, some validation, some clarification, highlighting things to a client, and checking the therapist’s understanding. Some times doing this leads to more information as the client can go into more detail.
That's call reflective listening. There is a purpose to that. It lets the client know we are hearing what they are saying and when we repeat it then it opens the dialogue for more explanation but also clarifies what the client said.
+Ana Bouca Hi Ana, unfortunately due to the constraints of the video there was only so much time - but a longer session (and video) may well have done this.
+Judith Johnson thank you for the quick response. The reason I'm asking is because I study psychology in Portugal and from what I've learned it's usual to ask about family history. Thank you anyway, I'm learning a lot from your videos!
Dosent this hurt the treatment of cbt when people watch this. Now you can go to the session knowing every thing that will happen. You can kinda do this yourself.
No because it isn't just what you see on the surface. When we do CBT with clients we are more in-depth about the assessment and literally everything in a session. Plus, we have to made decisions on if CBT is even the best intervention to use so you have to look at them as a whole and what they say and go from there.
so then this woman psychiatist like selects this girl for "normal" hobbies, since she's a cute girl? most "mental healrh professionals" tend to hate anything beyond some conservative norm. they don't really get how people live in the early 21st centiry.
Keep away clear away from me don't come near me they touched me beaten me up non stop I seen everything since childhood till now life I seen everything.
Seeing her, pulling her sleeves both further and farther over herself.. I get that so much. Regardless of if she is an actor/actress or not, showcasing this stuff is important. It is so so so important. Thank you to the both of you.
Thanks so much for your kind feedback Nate!
I so appreciate having an education material that ISN'T SCRIPTEd. THANK YOU!
Hi I am a Malaysian student of Clinical Psychology. This video has helped me. Thank you.
I really like how you used mostly listening responses. Love your counseling style.
That’s what her job is about
@@Name-tn1zg It might be "one job" but there are a lot aspects you can do wrong or different styles of therapy to use
@@Name-tn1zg That's not all her job is about. There are different modalities when working with clients and building a therapeutic relationships.

Please answer! What did Gabriella say in the beginning 1:13 after "feeling lonely" ?
“I didn’t really wanna see people, I wanted to be in my own space. So I went to the doctors and they sent me to you”
Is this suppose to be an assessment ? Hard to tell as there are some elements that you would cover in assessment but not sure if it’s a case of feedback what already may have been said ?
What I am noticing is the therapist is repeating a lot what the girl is saying and asking her bunch of clarification questions.
That is on purpose, some validation, some clarification, highlighting things to a client, and checking the therapist’s understanding. Some times doing this leads to more information as the client can go into more detail.
