Life Passage in the Face of Death, Volume II

Resource Type

Video

Description

"The second of Dr. Viederman's insightful and moving videos on the dramatic process and benefits of consultation-liaison services, this remarkable video illustrates the principles and techniques of psychological engagement through edited interviews with five patients facing cancer at different stages of the illness. The use of a variety of supportive and interpretive techniques engages the patient psychologically and establishes a bond as he or she feels understood and thereby recognized. These interviews illustrate how the consultant searches for and communicates meaning at a moment in crisis, and how Dr. Viederman tailors his own responses to meet the unique needs of each patient. What emerges vividly is the diversity of responses and experiences of these patients, each calling forth a different therapeutic stance by the consultant."--(www.appi.org)
