Abstract

Ongoing advances in videoconference technology present increasingly affordable and accessible means of obtaining supervision, consultation, and advanced training in psychotherapy. This chapter provides a practical guide and description of how one can use this technology to conduct small-group training in advanced psychotherapy with group members located across national borders and multiple time zones. It focuses on the use of videoconference technology as part of a training and supervision format aimed at enhancing psychotherapy practice. Intensive short-term dynamic psychotherapy (ISTDP) uses a series of interventions aimed at mobilizing the previously unconscious processes so the client can notice, evaluate, and actively override the emotional avoidance processes in order to experience and resolve the complex underlying feelings. The use of video recordings enables group members to objectively evaluate and study these specific intervention response sequences rather than relying on subjective recall.
