During a role play, he practices refusing a beer, monitoring his anxiety levels. Afterward, he reflects on the experience's realism and intensity. The session highlights the effectiveness of virtual reality in therapy and the need to tackle underlying anxieties.

In this introduction, David Bernstein and Limor Navot explain how forensic schema therapy was developed, how it works, the research supporting it, and how therapists apply it in practice.

This video explores Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), a therapeutic approach that views emotions as central to human experience. EFT helps clients become aware of, accept, and transform their emotions. The therapy combines following the client’s emotional process with guiding them through tasks like resolving unresolved feelings or self-criticism. By focusing on bodily responses and synthesizing emotions (e.g., turning shame into healthy anger), EFT fosters deep emotional change. The process is non-linear, emphasizing experiential over intellectual understanding, and aims to help clients transform core painful emotions.

In this video, Les Greenberg demonstrates Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) with Marcel, a patient who struggles with a pleasing attitude. Marcel discusses how he often stays quiet, especially around dominant individuals, and avoids expressing his true thoughts. In the first session, he also addresses his relationship with his mother, exploring its impact on his behavior. Throughout the session, Greenberg guides Marcel in unpacking these issues and shares key takeaways for therapists on how to approach similar dynamics in their own practice.

Prof. Cortese covers: - The evolution of ADHD medications and insights from clinical trials - Pharmacological vs. non-pharmacological treatments: what works (and what doesn’t) - The impact of parent training on treatment outcomes - How trauma influences ADHD symptoms

In the first therapy session, Dr. Elisabeth Kaiser meets patient Willemijn, who has been referred to her because she is struggling with mental health issues. During this initial session, Elisabeth gets to know Willemijn through a questionnaire to gain insight into her background and current emotional state. Elisabeth compares this process to visiting a general practitioner to identify the origins of specific symptoms. This is to find out where her trauma(s) are coming from.

In this second session, Elisabeth starts by asking Willemijn how she feels after their first session to assess its impact on her. Following this, they begin to lay out Willemijn's lifeline. Symbols are used in the lifeline to describe situations, such as stones (unpleasant events), flowers (beautiful events), sticks (harm done to someone), and candles (loss of loved ones).

In this video, Sandra Kooij explores the future of ADHD treatments in adults, addressing new developments in the field.

Masterclass 3: Markers and Tasks - Dealing with self-criticism, self-interruption, and unresolved issues.

In this video, Sandra Kooij explains the diagnostic assessment of ADHD in adults using the DIVA 5 (Diagnostic Interview for ADHD in Adults). She covers the history of the DIVA, the setup of the interview, and how to present it to patients. Additionally, she delves into the structure of the interview, provides sample questions, and shares key insights to ensure a smooth and informative diagnostic process.

In this video Nel Draijer will give you more insight into her choices as a therapist, illustrated by excerpts from key tipping points in the therapy sessions with Anne.

In this fifth session of the therapy the therapist works on self-image and self-hatred. This is done by using Marlan's triangle of conflict and triangle of person.

The rule of thumb in DBT is that after +- 60% of the client's treatment you start preparing for the end of the therapy. There is no step-by-step plan for this, and the preparation involves more than arranging aftercare. Above all, it requires alertness and ‘reading between the lines’. For many clients, the approaching end of intensive immersion therapy evokes intense emotions. And if, like Anne, they have a developmental history that includes mobile relationships with sudden abandonment, then they have developed few skills to deal with that. You can see that Roland responds with care, validates and uses didactic strategies to teach Anne what goodbyes can entail. Meanwhile, radical acceptance and anticipation play a crucial role, and of course a watertight relapse prevention plan.

In this first session in therapy, Remco van der Wijngaart first explains the choice for schematherapy to patient Anne. The therapist then explores the complaints and their background for the purpose of case conceptualization. In doing so, he examines the schemas, modes and unfulfilled basic needs that play a role in the patient. Various methods and techniques are used, such as the downward arrow technique, a diagnostic imagery and a chair technique.

This session is in the final phase of the treatment. After nearly 2 years of therapy, the therapist and patient work to strengthen the patient's healthy adult side by reflecting on what they learned in therapy and looking ahead to the post-treatment period.

During the sixth session, a Zoom conversation takes place in which they follow the ABC model. "B" represents the sticking point they want to work on. The ABC model is a cognitive behavioral therapy technique that helps to understand the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. With the help of the ABC model, patients and therapists can together identify negative thought patterns and replace them with healthier, more realistic thoughts.

In the second session, Katy tells Pnin that they won't delve fully into the details of the traumas he has experienced just yet, and instead, they will first outline a complete lifeline of his entire life. Symbols are used in the lifeline to describe situations, such as stones (unpleasant events), flowers (beautiful events), sticks (harm done to someone), and candles (loss of loved ones).

Second session with Lisette – Lisette feels positive after the first session and shared it with her friends, who responded by expressing pride in her. This made her reflect, as she’s never really proud of herself and tends to see it as something ordinary. In this second session, she wants to explore with Les Greenberg how to feel pride in herself and celebrate her achievements without brushing it off as normal.
