The 7th edition of Clinical Interviewing became available earlier this year. As a part of the text revision, we updated the accompanying videos, videos that Victor Yalom of Psychotherapy.net considers to be the best of their kind. And, possibly having watched more professional training videos than anyone on the planet, Victor knows what he’s talking about, and we are humbled by his endorsement.
Videos that accompany the text cover 72 learning objectives and are extensive. The bad news is that they usually, but not always, feature me. The good news is that in our video revision and upgrade, we included numerous counselors/psychotherapists of color. . . so it’s not just all me talking about how to develop your clinical interviewing skills.
The other good news–and possibly the best news–is that these videos are now available online, for free. Although we want you to buy or adopt the Clinical Interviewing textbook for your classes or professional development, you can access these videos without adopting or purchasing the book.

If you watch them, I hope you enjoy the videos. And, if you feel so moved, please share your reactions or suggestions with me here or via email: john.sf@mso.umt.edu.
Have a fantastic evening.

I was just having lunch with a clinician who said that he had you for his Theories class some time ago. He was so impressed that you were having the class analyze and critique your videos. He said it was an amazing learning tool and confidence builder 👏👏👏
Thanks Dylan! I really like to emphasize that I do things imperfectly all the time. I don’t like that fact, but it makes the videos more real and then I learn from them too.
