This is a video I made to compare the Gloria sessions with three psychotherapists, Fritz Perls, Carl Rogers and Albert Ellis.
The psychotherapists demonstrate their different psychotherapeutic schools. Perls is a Gestalt therapist, Rogers is a person Centered Therapist and Ellis is a behavioral therapist.
Psychotherapy research of today has shown us that the he personality of the therapist is an essential factor in therapy process.
0:59 When we observe how the client at first moments of meeting the therapists behaves differently in each session, we may be able to understand the phenomenon of this idea.
At 3:37, we look at the body language of the therapist and client. 4:40 Non-verbal communication is sometimes more telling of the interaction.
At 5:50, we compare who spoke more, who had more air-time in the sessions.
To end the video, the representing theme of the Gloria tapes were discussed.
