"In this training video, Carl Whitaker demonstrates Experiential Family Therapy with a family seeking treatment for their son's ADHD. Whitaker acts as a consultant to the therapist of a struggling family, presenting the essence of what he and a co-therapist would typically do. Arguing that the therapist must introduce stress to the family structure to enact change, Whitaker engages each family member in a pointed inquiry that challenges the system's established, intergenerational patterns. You will learn the major points of his approach, including focusing on the here and now, the series of therapeutic "battles" a clinician must win, and treating every session as both the first and the last in order to reduce therapeutic dependence and emphasize choice. Intended for students and practitioners in clinical psychology, counseling, social work, and related health professions."
