Masterclass in Advanced Psychotherapy Skills, Vol 1: Deepening Client Self-Discovery
by Victor Yalom & Orah Krug
Asking “How do you feel?” is a typical way we try to help clients expand their internal awareness. But unfortunately, it’s often a dead-end, and many therapists don’t know how to follow up. In this masterclass, you’ll learn powerful techniques to help clients accelerate the internal discovery process so they can gain additional resources to tackle the problems bringing them to therapy.
Victor Yalom has spent 30 years studying and producing videos with many of the legendary therapists of our time. Now he takes all he has learned from these encounters and shares the most powerful pearls of clinical wisdom from these masters.In Volume 1 of Masterclass in Advanced Psychotherapy Skills, Yalom and renowned clinician, Orah Krug, demonstrate simple yet powerful techniques to quickly help clients discover new things about themselves, which can unlock new possibilities for your clients and empower them to enact the changes they desire. You’ll observe Yalom and Krug in therapy sessions with real clients, so you can experience what these techniques look like in practice and discover how to apply step-by-step. Most importantly, these fundamental skills can complement all therapeutic approaches and are effective with all populations.
Clients come to therapy in pain, unsure how to resolve their problems. Often too much time is wasted with clients talking about themselves instead of actually discovering new things about themselves. But this doesn’t have to be the case. Watch how Yalom and Krug direct their clients inward—leading them into unexplored aspects of their inner lives, including emotions, thoughts, bodily sensations, imagery, and more. You’ll learn specific techniques such as directing clients inward; persistently nudging them to go deeper and making process comments which amplify clients’ awareness. From the first session to the last, you can use these skills to help your clients engage in the internal discovery process that is at the heart of psychotherapy. Volume 1 features in-session videos of four real clients which, along with extensive commentary and discussions, bring to life powerful ideas that can greatly enhance the effectiveness of your work.
What therapists are saying…
“In this video, Victor Yalom and Orah Krug remind us of the necessary skills for therapeutic change that leads to congruence, authenticity, enlightenment, self-actualization, and any other goals therapy models seek to achieve across cultures...This video volume series is a momentous contribution for practitioners, educators, students, and everyone who is genuinely interested in walking a therapeutic journey with clients in a way that is transformative.”

“Through clinical sessions and thoughtful discussions Yalom and Krug demonstrate how to patiently and persistently guide clients in their search process. This is an example of master clinicians showing us the “dance of psychotherapy” — artfully combining skills, expertise, and the therapist's own humanity. Students will learn that there is a flow in a session rather than disjointed components/techniques. Established clinicians will have the opportunity to contrast their own styles and see what they could be missing.”
— Laura E. Jimenez Arista, PhD, Clinical Associate Professor, Arizona State University

“A rich and intentional opportunity for clinicians, students, and faculty to see the counseling process unfold and to better understand the rationale that undergirds it. The on-screen text, discussions, and demonstrations contribute to supporting diverse learning needs. What an incredibly useful tool that can support and deepen our efficacy as therapeutic agents of change!”
