Counseling and Psychotherapy Transcripts Series
Counseling and Psychotherapy Transcripts, Volumes I and II, is a unique online series that lets students and researchers peer deeply into the client-therapist relationship and follow the progress—and the setbacks—of clients across multiple therapy sessions. This multi-part collection includes nearly 4,000 transcripts of real therapy sessions, 40,000 pages of client narratives, and 25,000 pages of reference works. Together, these materials bring the therapeutic process to life and provided unprecedented levels of access to the broadest range of clients.
Designed to meet the needs of therapists-in-training, the collection shares firsthand the experience of assisting clients through a wide range of issues. It lets students witness in detail therapists’ treatment processes and assess their impact. Transcripts are provided by hundreds of practicing therapists worldwide and all adhere to the American Psychological Association’s Ethics Guidelines for use and anonymity, so users can rely on the information for its accuracy and diversity.
This collection also opens gateways for researchers to make reliable, real-life observations and draw empirical, data-driven conclusions. Scholars can use the collection to compare therapeutic methods, relate them back to client outcomes, examine language patterns across different types of psychotherapy, and explore countless other lines of inquiry with unprecedented accuracy.
About Counseling and Psychotherapy Transcripts: Volume I
Volume I lays an important foundation for clinical work with clients by providing 2,000 real-life, fully anonymized transcripts alongside an extensive selection of primary accounts, handbooks, and reference works.
Primary narratives are valuable for undergraduates and practicing therapists because their vivid detail enables users to understand, appreciate, and empathize with clients in a way no traditional textbook can. Included are diaries, letters, autobiographies, oral histories, and personal memoirs along with the full text of the sessions themselves.
More than 25,000 pages of reference material round out this volume, complementing and contextualizing the primary sources. Content includes encyclopedic entries, textbook case studies, and how-to material from leading professionals in the field.
