Patient viewing of videotaped psychotherapy. Part I: Impact on the therapeutic process.
A seminar for psychotherapy supervision of residents employed videotapes of interviews as the focus. When patients and therapists together reviewed the tapes, a number of therapeutically valuable results ensued including a) retelling of corrected histories and new commitment to the therapy; b) increased awareness of denied areas of experience and insight into transference, defense, hidden affects and so on; c) a variety of forms of confrontation. In addition, this report reviews indications, difficulties, problems, and failures encountered with this technique.
