Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy with John Krumboltz
by John Krumboltz
Watch John Krumboltz masterfully demonstrate his approach to cognitive-behavioral therapy in this actual therapy session with a woman struggling with a difficult relationship with her mother.
John Krumboltz sees himself as a teacher and emotional coach. He doesn’t think psychotherapy needs to be a mysterious process, and instead works with clients to figure out ways to improve behaviors and prevent problems from recurring in the future. In this video, Krumboltz helps his client Robin give up the struggle for her mother-in-law’s approval. Through a role-play telephone conversation, she learns to shift the locus of control so she can take better care of herself in that difficult relationship—and leaves with plans to have this conversation in real life. Hosts Jon Carlson and Diane Kjos introduce Dr. Krumboltz and facilitate an enlightening discussion on the approach.
