6. Work Sample: Videotape of a
30-minute SIMULATED counseling session (standard VHS or VHS-C
format only). Helpful hints: It is recommended that you demonstrate
counseling or psychotherapy skills that highlight your strengths as a
clinician and gives us an idea how you usually work with clients. For
example, most intern applicants have good basic listening skills and
demonstrating the first half-hour of the first session with a new client
will not be as helpful as showing your use of more advanced skills with
an ongoing client. Please feel free to briefly introduce your
intervention at the beginning of the video (less than one minute) or
provide a brief description of the strategies you used (less than one
page). Please do not send us a videotape of a real client. Please
preview the video before you send it to ensure high video and audio
quality. If you would like your videotape returned, please send a
stamped self-addressed envelope.
