Counseling and Therapy in Video is exactly what it sounds like- a database of videos related to counseling and therapy. Site resources include lectures by and interviews with renowned therapists as well as real and scripted therapy sessions. Many of the counseling footage is blended with commentary and consultations, where scenes are cut with advice and analysis by an expert therapist.
The best way to access this database (other than the link at the top of this post) is by clicking “Databases A-Z” under the “Articles and Databases” tab on the home page. Counseling and Therapy in Video is the second to last of the databases that start with C. This database can also be found in the Psychology subject guide under the “Find Articles” tab.
Once in the Database you can browse the videos by subject, theme, or video type. If you have a specific idea of what you are looking for, you should click the “Advanced Search” button beneath the header. In advanced search, you can search by title, subject, and date, but you can also search the transcripts of the videos, or narrow down your results by the gender, and race the therapist or the age, gender, race, and sexual orientation of the client. This could be particularly useful if you are seeking counseling resources specific to particular groups.
Each video has a detailed, searchable transcript, along with a brief abstract. What’s even more exciting is that the video interface gives the viewer the ability to make clips from the video, and combine clips and videos into annotated playlists. Combined with the video embed feature, the ability to make and share clips can be a great tool for including brief, relevant audiovisual elements to classroom projects easily and seamlessly.
