Counseling and Psychotherapy Transcripts, Client Narratives, and Reference Works |
| Description: |
Trial access ends December 13, 2009.
Provide feedback to Diana Ramirez, Social Sciences and Education Librarian, at dianar@tamu.edu.
Counseling and Psychotherapy Transcripts, Client Narratives, and Reference Works is a searchable collection containing real transcripts of therapy and counseling sessions and first-person narratives illuminating the experience of mental illness and its treatment, as well as reference works to contextualize the primary material. The pairing of these transcripts with associated reference works and published narratives, memoirs, and other client narratives enhances the collection's ability to provide insight into the experience of those undergoing therapy and suffering from mental illness. We have worked closely with members of the counseling and psychological community, both on our editorial board and our contributors and potential contributors, to ensure that all necessary measures are taken to protect clients. Contributing practitioners ensure that appropriate consent for publication and research has been obtained before any transcripts are made available for the collection. Furthermore, working with practitioners and academics, we have developed a set of standards and practices for anonymizing transcripts of therapy sessions, and the contributing practitioner approves the edits before the transcripts are published in the database. New material is added on a biweekly basis and, when complete, the database will contain more than 2,000 session transcripts, 40,000 pages of client narratives, and 25,000 pages of secondary reference material. The database currently includes approximately 63,600 pages of material, including more than 16,000 pages of session transcripts, more than 22,000 pages of client narratives, and more than 24,000 pages of secondary reference material. |
