Anxiety/Depression     Managing Anger     Medication?      For Lawyers      Bio      Sessions      Contact      Home
	Sessions are 50 to 80 minutes long except for the initial interview. There we want to get an in-depth view of your difficulties so that we can understand the causes as rapidly as possible. For this initial interview, you'll need to set aside 3 hours.   As far as style, I'm active throughout the session in questioning you and giving you feedback about personality style, defense, and resistance. Together we'll try to make sense of why you're having difficulties and outline what we can do about it. I'm committed to working as efficiently and as rapidly as possible so that you spend no more time in therapy than is necessary.   I also offer the option of videotaping our meetings and strongly encourage this as both a "quality control" measure and a way of deepening the therapeutic process. Videotaping can increase the value of therapy but is in no way a requirement of our working together. [After being used for their intended purpose, the tapes are erased and do NOT become part of your medical record.]   For more information, please click the "Contact Dr. Shulman" link below.
