Final Thoughts and Testimonials
DVD of Dan Conducting A Couple Therapy Session
In this DVD, Dan begins with a brief description of his approach, conducts the session, and then reviews what happened. At two places in the interview, there is background buzz (noise from the street). Otherwise it is a crisp recording.
This DVD was recorded in 2005 and is session 9 in the series Psychotherapy Live, prepared by the California Institute of Integral Studies, produced by Philip Brooks, and filmed and edited by Travis Mathews. Included in the series are DVDs of a number of different therapists demonstrating various forms of psychotherapy.
