WASHINGTON — The American Psychological Association has made hundreds of its training and educational DVDs available for streaming to computers, laptops and mobile devices. Almost all DVD content published under the APA Videos imprint is now available for streaming to libraries, educators, students and clinicians.
More than 240 of APA’s DVD titles may now be streamed. Additional titles will be added within a month of their release on DVD. The initial release includes the popular APA Psychotherapy Video Series, which presents distinguished psychologists demonstrating specific approaches to a wide range of patient problems. Designed for clinical training and continuing education, these videos were created to provide psychology students and practitioners with expert introductions to various therapeutic approaches and hands-on knowledge for how to treat particular patient issues. Also included are videos in the Psychotherapy Supervision Video Series, the Psychological Assessment Video Series, the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Techniques and Strategies Series and more.
These videos are accessible via the Alexander Street streaming video platform. Users can search for DVD titles on the APA website, where they can choose to purchase videos in streaming format by clicking a link that will redirect them to the Alexander Street video store.
"APA is excited to provide streaming access to its high-quality educational video content so our users have access when they want, where they want it," said APA Executive Publisher Jasper Simons.
