Hi Sumru, in my experience I have discovered students of that era are more visual. In regards to video I really like Brene Brown, PhD , and her various TED talks. We use them in groups frequently (IOP). There is a lot out there, just remind them that mental illness and other stress-related illness result from family dynamics just as much as personal perspectives, as well as genetics.  Have a great day.

I highly recommend the following books, which can help students to understand the essential basis of psychological wellbeing, resolving or healing troubled emotional feelings, and developing psychologically healthy, fulfilling, deeply caring or truly loving interpersonal relationships:

PRIMARY AUTHOR: DR. MAX HAMMER (WITH CONTRIBUTIONS FROM DR. BARRY J. HAMMER AND DR. ALAN C. BUTLER)

THE TITLES OF OUR NEW BOOKS ARE:

“DEEPENING YOUR PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS: DEVELOPING EMOTIONAL INTIMACY AND GOOD COMMUNICATION”   (ISBN: 978-1-61897-590-4)

“PSYCHOLOGICAL HEALING THROUGH CREATIVE SELF-UNDERSTANDING AND SELF-TRANSFORMATION.” (ISBN: 978-1-62857-075-5)

THESE BOOKS ARE AVAILABLE  (IN SOFT COVER PRINT AND VARIOUS ELECTRONIC VERSIONS ) THROUGH AMAZON, BARNES AND NOBLE, AND THE AUTHOR/PUBLISHER WEBSITE, http://sbprabooks.com/MaxHammer 

I am attacking files and links for the Press Releases and Sample Chapters for both of the books listed above. I sincerely believe that the insights presented in both books are highly original, incisive, and useful in terms of understanding the basis of effective psychotherapy, psychological self-help, and psychologically healthy interpersonal relationships.

I am also attaching links and files for some articles that I (Dr. Barry Hammer) have co-authored with my late father, Dr. Max Hammer, which could be very valuable for students taking introductory classes in psychotherapy. I believe that the article, "Healing our Emotional Pain and Relationship Pain" provides an especially succinct, cogent summary of the essential basis of resolving psychological pain, achieving psychological wellbeing, and developing psychologically healthy interpersonal relationships. 

The following YouTube audio playlist by my late father, Dr. Max Hammer, would also be very valuable for students seeking to understand the basis of effective psychotherapy, psychological self-help, and psychologically healthy, fulfilling interpersonal relationships:

Hi Sumru,

I recommend having them read some of the case studies in the book "Case studies in Abnormal Psychology." (http://ca.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-EHEP001999.html) It will really give them an idea of what they might face with their own patients in the future. It's also just interesting to read case studies in general I find! Even if you don't use it as assigned reading, you can take examples and ask them how they would go about treating these individuals.

Hope that helps,

Gerri

Hi, Sumru.

I agree with Eaton about Nancy McWilliams, and I think that for psychiatry resident can be very interesting Kernberg's TFP (Clarkin JF, Yeomans FE, Kernberg OF (2006). Psychotherapy for borderline personality: Focusing on object relations. Washington, DC: American Psychiatric).  The classic book of  M & E. Balint: Psychotherapeutic techniques in medicine. Tavistock publications, London 1961, this is a great options to think about psychiatric and psychotherapeutic examination . Also a basic book: Susan Cave. Therapeutic approaches in psychology, by Routledge 1999, about he diversity of current psychological thinking.

Any books by Michael Franz Basch would be well worth the reading.  His writing is practicable and give the reader the chance to actually experience the clinical vignettes when reading.   Classic!

basch's "doing psychotherapy" is excellent. for a very recent excellent book, try "the real world guide to psychotherapy practice" by alex sabo and leston havens.
