SKYPE
(LIVE VIDEO COMMUNICATION) INTERVENTION PROGRAM SESSIONS
For over three decades Dr. Will
Cupchik worked with clients who came, in person, to his office in
Toronto, Ontario, Canada, including those who wanted to deal with their
(atypical for them) theft behavior. Then, several years ago, he began to provide
a concentrated series of in-office sessions (19 of them!) carried out over a period of
four days; this 4-day Intensive Intervention Program format allowed persons to travel
to Toronto along with one or more of their 'Significant Others' (usually their
spouse or partner) and to deal directly with Dr. Cupchik regarding their
self-defeating and atypical theft behavior.
It should be noted that the vast
majority of attendees of these 'Intensives' were highly functioning and usually
very successful individuals whose careers and/or prominent positions in their
home communities made their stealing all the more seemingly bizarre.
Furthermore, the attendees have included many successful physicians, nurses,
teachers, and businesspersons who certainly did not in any sense, need to steal
the items they had taken.
Now, with the development of
Skype, a free download that is readily available and immediately usable by
virtually anyone with a relatively new computer and a (built-in or add-on)
webcam, Dr. Cupchik offers the most recent iteration of his Intervention
Program for those he has termed 'Atypical Theft Offenders'. By using Skype,
working with Dr. Cupchik is immediately much more economical and convenient, in
that the individuals he works with can do so without leaving their home or place
of business! By
working with Dr. Cupchik from their own location, the immediate savings are usually
in the thousands of dollars, since they no longer have to travel to Toronto
and pay for transportation, hotel, and meals, with the attendant complications
of doing so.
Skype sessions are usually
'double-sessions', each lasting 2 x 50 minutes, or 100 minutes in length. These
double-sessions usually take place once weekly, although special circumstances
may dictate some changes. After an initial, 20-minute long free Brief
Consultation, if Dr. Cupchik and the prospective client are agreed, then a
schedule of double or even triple-sessions is tentatively arranged. A retainer for the full
fee of a set of 20 sessions is to be provided, in advance, at which point
the pre-arranged schedule of sessions is set, An alternate approach is to
provide a retainer for the first half of the program initially, and then for the
second 10 sessions later. The professional fee for the full, 20 session Skype
Intensive Program, paid entirely in advance as a retainer, is $3995 U.S. if
provided in full as a retainer in advance.
To inquire about working with Dr.
Cupchik via Skype sessions, simply read all the relevant pages on his
www.WhyHonestPeopleSteal.com
website, and then, if you believe that you likely qualify, by all means contact
Dr. Cupchik via email at
wcupchik@aol.com
and include, briefly, particulars about yourself and your situation,
including your name, age, educational background, job or profession, and your
theft behavior history. Also indicate whether you have recently been charged
with theft.
[It is also preferable, though not
initially necessary, that you have read Dr. Cupchik's book, Why Honest
People Shoplift Or Commit Other Acts Of Theft: Assessment and Treatment of
'Atypical Theft Offenders'. This book can be purchased through most online
bookstores; BarnesandNoble.com often being the most expeditious.You may also
download a copy of the book onto your Kindle or NOOK ereader, from Amazon.com or
BarnesandNoble.com respectively.
