  • The process of change is a model for understanding crises in their context, engaging with all parties involved (e.g., client, friends, and family) using their values, culture, and language, honoring their goals, and shifting vicious cycles to move everyone forward. In Crisis Intervention in Psychotherapy, J. Scott Fraser, PhD, works with a suicidal client—portrayed by an actor—who is facing several personal conflicts, including job loss, separation from his wife, and an unsupportive family system. Dr. Fraser’s approach views crises as time-limited windows of opportunity for clinicians to tip vicious cycles of problem maintenance in new and positive directions through often counterintuitive interventions. This powerful demonstration is framed by an interview and discussion with Dr. Fraser, hosted by Michael Rohrbaugh, PhD. Learn more about this video.

  • This webinar is an opportunity to gain an understanding of the key takeaways of the newest book from J. Scott Fraser, PhD, Crisis Intervention: Using Tipping Points to Achieve Transformative Change in Therapy. It will also build on Fraser’s most recent APA Psychotherapy Series video demonstrating the approach with cases of suicide and intimate partner violence. The webinar follows the unifying golden thread of a process model of intervention with applications to evidence supported approaches to suicide, PTSD, grief and mourning, intimate partner violence, and other crises, often treated separately as unrelated approaches. Learn more about this webinar.

  • In this video, J. Scott Fraser discusses the process paradigm, which targets pattern shifts in clients' vicious cycles and provides a model for matching effective treatment approaches for the client and therapist. Fraser demonstrates this approach with a client and discusses the therapy session with highlights that translates theory into practical integration of psychotherapies. Learn more about this video.
