Academic publisher SAGE and publisher Alexander Street Press, US, have announced that research and training mental health resource - Counseling and Psychotherapy Transcripts, Client Narratives, and Reference Works - is being enhanced by the addition of hundreds of new transcripts from Verilogue over the next year.
Verilogue digitally records live interactions between patients and physicians and, once anonymised, the transcripts are provided to professionals and students in the mental health discipline to enhance understanding of disease and treatment. Now, with this new agreement, database users will be able to research an additional 4,000 pages of content on topics such as depression, bipolar disorder, adult ADHD, and, for the first time, schizophrenia.
Created by SAGE and Alexander Street Press, the Counseling and Psychotherapy Transcripts, Client Narratives, and Reference Works database contains 40,000 pages of actual therapy sessions and first-person accounts, including first person diaries and memoirs, letters, autobiographies, and oral histories, as well as 25,000 pages of SAGE reference works. The database opens a world of primary sources for therapists, clients, and students to explore and analyse.
