"In this training video, seasoned clinical educators John and Rita Sommers-Flanagan present interviewing protocols and relational techniques that clarify how clinicians can glean necessary information in the initial sessions while building a strong therapeutic alliance. Drawing from actual therapy sessions, they present seven interviewing themes with real-world examples of basic listening, directives, therapeutic questions, and more. Demonstrations with a range of clients feature callouts of the various skills covered, interspersed with commentary. Also included are detailed segments on intake interviews, mental status examinations, and suicide assessments, emphasizing collaboration, empathy, intuition, and cultural awareness. By watching this video, you will identify interventions along a continuum of clinical listening responses, from basic to complex; understand the goals and steps of different clinical assessments and examinations; and learn tools for establishing and deepening the therapeutic alliance during various types of clinical interventions. Intended for students and practitioners in clinical psychology, counseling, social work, and related health professions."
