Multimedia Psychotherapy

Multimedia Psychotherapy: A Psychodynamic Approach for Mourning in the Technological Age is a complete manual to let all health professionals learn Multimedia Psychotherapy and apply it with their own patients. Excerpts from sessions are quoted to describe each step of the therapy: from intake to outcome through the "picture sessions," "music session," and "screening session" where patient and therapist watch the "psychodynamic montage" together. A new supervision model (the Clinic and Dreams Workshop) and a training group experience in Multimedia Psychotherapy are also described.
