Abstract

Research published in the last decade on therapeutic videotape recorded playback applications is reviewed. The use of playback in marital and family therapy, treatment of alcoholics, therapy with inpatients, improving social competencies and other miscellaneous settings are independently examined and evaluated. Important methodological issues in videotaped playback research in general and critical dimensions of playback applications are discussed. The present status of videotaped playback usage in therapy is outlined. Drawing heavily from social psychological literature, theoretical explanations emphasizing the motivational or informational (or both) properties of videotaped playback are reviewed. It is concluded that unspecified videotaped playback produces no independent effects, and that further specification of such parameters as content and context of playback are necessary for positive therapy outcome. A social learning view of videotaped playback is advanced.
