Constructing New Underlying Assumptions & Behavioral Experiments
For complete details, visit VUAE DVD Chapters
Dr. Padesky begins with a brief description of automatic thoughts, underlying assumptions, and core beliefs. She explains why recurrent problems are often best solved at the underlying assumption level. Bob is a therapist struggling with ongoing procrastination regarding completion of case formulations at his clinic. The session begins with a review of the underlying assumptions, identified prior to this interview, that maintain Bob’s procrastination. Together, she and Bob specify his goals for change and identify new underlying assumptions that would support these changes. Next, in collaboration with the therapist, Bob devises behavioral experiments to evaluate the utility of these new underlying assumptions. He makes specific predictions and identifies potential problems that need to be managed during his experiments. This video illustrates how to identify new underlying assumptions and set up behavioral experiments based on the new assumptions. Dr. Padesky and Bob dialogue about the relative benefits of testing old and/or new beliefs. As in her other videotapes, Dr. Padesky models a collaborative approach that promotes client curiosity, activity, and creativity. For follow-up summaries of Bob’s behavioral
experiments, visit our Clinical Corner: click here to see Bob's follow-up comments on his Behavioral Experiments |

Constructing New Core Beliefs A Client Demonstration
For complete details, visit VBEL DVD Chapters
Dr. Padesky and a volunteer therapist conduct a role-play demonstration of a woman who has suffered from recurrent depression and low self-esteem who would like to develop a new core belief, “I am wonderful.” The primary methods used to strengthen new core beliefs are demonstrated including use of a continuum and assignment of a core belief log. In narrative comments before and after the demonstration, Dr. Padesky highlights the importance of the therapeutic alliance and the benefits of using written “shoulder-to-shoulder” methods instead of “eyeball-to-eyeball” dialogues when constructing new core beliefs. Since it is difficult for clients to imagine new core beliefs, this client’s skepticism and cognitive “blanks” are quite typical. This video illustrates how to engage a client and evoke curiosity regarding the possibility of new core beliefs even when the client is doubtful that this approach will help. |

| Cognitive Therapy for Panic Disorder A Client Session
For complete details, visit VPAN DVD Chapters
Christine Padesky demonstrates key stages in the cognitive therapy of panic disorder. Therapist & client collaboratively identify elements of the client’s recent panic attack including sensations, thoughts and images, and catastrophic misinterpretations. After client data is used to develop the cognitive model, the therapist induces sensations which closely mimic a panic attack. Hear how Dr. Padesky debriefs this induction to help the client discover believable alternative explanations for the panic-related sensations. Specific questions, summaries and procedures are clearly modeled that demonstrate the cognitive therapy protocol for panic disorder. Includes close-up shots of therapist notes. Split screen work allows the viewer to see the therapist-client interaction up close. Viewers find this tape extremely helpful in understanding how the induction of sensations paired with guided discovery helps the client develop meaningful alternative explanations for their panic sensations. Also, they comment on how quickly Dr. Padesky is able to form a positive therapeutic alliance through the use of humor and collaboration. |

| Guided Discovery Using Socratic Dialogue
For complete details, visit VSOQ DVD Chapters
Dr. Padesky teaches the four stages of socratic dialogue with three different clients (depressed, anxious & angry). Watch how she uses informational questions, empathic listening, summaries and analytic / synthesizing questions to help clients uncover and re-evaluate key automatic thoughts. Her use of the socratic process uncovers cognitions characteristic of each mood state. Viewers comment that learning these four stages helps demystify socratic questioning. They have a much better sense of how to guide the client’s discovery instead of trying to change the client’s mind. |

Watch an entire therapy session with narrative commentary about each section of the thought record. This session is a vivid demonstration of the integration of technique with a collaborative therapy alliance. Includes close-up shots of client and therapist notes. Viewers comment on the helpfulness of this video to demonstrate the pacing and timing of a therapy session when using a thought record. It has been especially helpful to see how empathic and conversational the therapy session can be even while teaching skills in a structured way. |
