How Theory Shows up on the California Clinical Exam
This video explains all five categories of theory identified in the BBS examination plan. Goals, interventions, and the role of the therapist are discussed, with clinical examples and practice questions. For non-theoretical considerations in the Treatment Planning and Treatment domains of the exam, I suggest my "General Issues" training video.
General Issues in Treatment Planning and Treatment
It's not all about theory. Many questions about setting goals and intervening with clients do not include theoretical orientation at all! This training video discusses non-theory related exam tasks such as "maintaining therapeutic relationship with client to facilitate treatment," and "formulating a treatment plan within an evidence-based context." Practice questions and strategies are included.
CCE: LawEthicsReview
Even though you've passed the Law and Ethics exam, you no doubt need a comprehensive review of all the topics in the LAW and ETHICS domains on the California Clinical Exam. This training reviews everything from mandated breaches of confidentiality to telehealth laws to contradictions between CAMFT and AAMFT ethical standards. A few practice questions are included to illustrate those strange "manage the impact" task statements in the BBS' Examination plan.

Review of Ethics, Part 1
I review basic ethical standards from both CAMFT and AAMFT that are likely to be tested on the exam. Practice questions and strategies are included. This training video should be viewed in conjunction with Ethics, Part 2, which focuses on topics where LAW is also explicitly involved.
