for Psychologists & Educators
(1) ADHD in the Classroom
Strategies for Teachers
Russell A. Barkley
When students with ADHD are in the
classroom, teachers are doubly challenged. They have to
create an environment that addresses the needs of the child
with ADHD, without diminishing the needs of the other
children. This video is designed specifically to help
teachers with their students with ADHD, thereby providing a
better learning environment for the entire class.
The program features Russell A. Barkley, a noted authority on
ADHD, who describes the disorder and brings the audience into
a classroom of students with ADHD. Viewers will see the
problems teachers encounter with children with ADHD and the
solutions that behavior management can provide. The program
features interviews with teachers and other education experts
combined with helpful visual graphics and illustrations.
An effective four-step plan for avoiding potential problems
is presented, and the incorporation of social skills into the
curriculum is demonstrated. The audience sees firsthand how
to implement such behavior management methods as color charts
and signs, point system, token economy, and turtle-control
technique.

(2) Around the Clock
Parenting the Delayed ADHD
Child
Joan F. Goodman and Susan Hoban
When children diagnosed with ADHD are
also developmentally delayed, the difficulties facing their
parents can seem insurmountable. This videotape provides both
professionals and parents with a helpful look at how these
problems can be handled. It explores the many challenges
facing parents of children with the combined diagnosis of
ADHD and developmental delay (including difficulties with
language, coordination, and learning), and depicts how
parents can learn not only how to cope effectively, but also
how to achieve a closer and more meaningful relationship with
their children.
This important videotape shares the intimate,
behind-the-doors experience of what it is really like for two
families with ADHD-delayed children in jargon-free language
from the parents themselves. Viewers will learn the actual
problems these parents struggle with and the solutions they
have devised, and see firsthand how parents monitor play
activities, handle sensory-motor delay, cope in public
places, and manage daily routines
The accompanying manual summarizes and expands on the
information presented in the video. Particularly helpful as a
resource and as a guide for work with parent groups, it
suggests issues for discussion, and includes specific
questions to be explored.

(9) Making Divorce Work
A Clinical Approach to the
Binuclear Family
Constance Ahrons
Produced by Steve Lerner
In a time when fifty percent of
American marriages end in divorce, therapists frequently
encounter families struggling with the aftermath of the
breakup and the adjustment to new family constellations when
one or both ex-spouses remarries. As old bonds are broken and
new ones formed through remarriage (and the birth of
additional children in these subsequent marriages), how do
ex-spouses who don't get along manage their shared parenting
obligations? And what can therapists do to help such families
shift their focus from the negative "broken home"
syndrome to the more promising notion of the
"binuclear" family?
In this compelling video, renowned therapist Constance Ahrons
demonstrates her groundbreaking clinical approach to working
with divorced families. An immensely useful and skillfully
presented resource, the program draws upon the clinical
expertise of Dr. Ahrons and producer Steve Lerner, practicing
family therapist and founding director of Menninger Video
Productions.
Bringing to life a case situation based on actual clinical
material, the video depicts a series of productive and
poignant therapy sessions with an entire binuclear family:
the divorced mother and father, their two sons, and the new
wife of the children's father. Dr. Ahrons aptly demonstrates
how over time, she gradually brings these reluctant family
members together to begin forging a more agreeable,
cooperative approach to parenting.
Practitioners and students will learn how to:
*Assist divorced couples in overcoming their resistance to
meeting together in a therapeutic context to address their
children's problems
* Help binuclear families break out of unproductive patterns
and explore new territory in cooperative relationships.
* Foster constructive, non-blaming conversations between
ex-partners about joint child rearing issues.
* Help ex-spouses develop a long-term view in which, though
separated, they retain a sense of kinship in fulfilling their
joint roles as parents.

unilateral control.
* Shift their financial arrangements to reach a more
equitable disbursement of money and power in their marriage.

(11) Family Secrets
Implications for Theory
and Therapy
Evan Imber-Black. Produced by Steve
Lerner
Most families have secrets, handed down
from generation to generation like "booby-trapped
heirlooms" waiting to explode. Secrets have far-reaching
implications for families, setting the stage for a tense
emotional climate in which guardedness, anger, and reactivity
become the norm.
In this illuminating video, Evan Imber-Black--an
internationally recognized expert on rituals, larger systems,
and family secrets--speaks to viewers about the varied
dimensions of secrets and their implications for families,
and techniques for ushering families through the process of
identifying, understanding, and resolving secrets.
Illustrating her observations and insights with family
photographs and a vivid case example based on clinical
material, Dr. Imber-Black presents a series of insightful,
and often moving, family therapy sessions in which she models
the various stages of helping families to:
* uncover and examine key events in their family history
* understand how these patterns may affect family functioning
* decide whether, when, and how to reveal a secret
* promote fuller integration of the family history and events
of the past

Jeffrey Seibel, Gloria Klein, and Paul Feinberg. Produced by
Steve Lerner. From The Ackerman Institute for the Family
Series
Under the guidance of Peggy Papp,
renowned author and clinician, the Depression Project at the
Ackerman Institute for the Family has pioneered a marital
therapy approach that addresses the cultural gender
"mandates" that predispose men and women to
depression and undermine intimate relationships. In this
emotionally compelling video, Papp demonstrates her
team-based approach to treating depression within a marital
therapy context. An immensely useful and skillfully presented
resource, the program also draws upon the clinical expertise
of Depression Project members and producer Steve Lerner,
practicing family therapist and founding director of

* Restore a sense of connectedness as individuals and within
the couple
* Redistribute and equalize responsibility in relationships
* Develop new skills and competencies in their work, family
life, social interactions, and marital relations.

health of a
relationship and exacerbate depression.
The video also elucidates:
* How men's and women's self-esteem is shaped by social and
cultural forces.
* The distinct elements that tend to trigger depression in
men and in women.
* The different ways husbands and wives of depressed partners
tend to handle their partner's depression.

(14) Couples and Infertility
Moving beyond Loss
The Ackerman Institute for the Family's
Infertility Project
Ronny Diamond, David Kezur, Mimi Meyers, Constance N. Scharf,
and Margot Weinshel . Produced by Steve Lerner
Due to a variety of factors, a growing
number of couples in the United States find themselves facing
the profound disappointment of infertility. In a society that
places a high value on parenting, the pressure of infertility
can place enormous strain on even the healthiest of
relationships. When asked to rate their most stressful life
experience, research participants in one study reported that
the stress of infertility was nearly as devastating as the
death of a child or spouse.
Using a clinical illustration of a family systems approach to
treatment, this video offers a framework for understanding
the emotional and psychological impact of infertility upon
couples who have sought unsuccessfully to conceive. Producer
Steve Lerner has combined rich clinical insights gained from
years of working as a family therapist with deft production
skills honed as founding director of Menninger Video
Productions to create this immensely useful resource in
collaboration with the Depression Project of the renowned
Ackerman Institute for the Family.
Walking viewers through a series of profoundly illuminating
and emotionally charged clinical sessions with an infertile
couple, the video depicts how to help couples:
* Work through the feelings of profound loss, mourning, and
shame that often surround a diagnosis of infertility.
* Recognize and cope with the common problems arising from an
infertility diagnosis (e.g., marital dissatisfaction, sexual
dysfunction, loss of spontaneity, and increased conflict).
* Reduce the feelings of isolation the separate members of
the couple feel from each other as well as from family and
friends.

to address gender, money, and power in clinical work with
couples in crisis. The other two videos in the series are

participation in family life by bringing to life a series of
counseling sessions with a couple in conflict. The couple,
Neal and Kathy, have recently moved in with Neal's newly
widowed mother. Conflicts quickly arise between Kathy and her
mother-in-law, to which Neal responds by either withdrawing
entirely or "siding" with his mother. The result: a
strained marriage and a tense, unhappy household.
Throughout the lively and often moving counseling sessions,
Carter demonstrates strategies for enhancing mutual
understanding within the couple and between Kathy and her
mother-in-law, and helping Neal assume a more responsible
position in his relationships with his mother and wife.

(21) Mothers and Sons
The Crucial Connection
Olga Silverstein. Produced by Steve
Lerner. From the Ackerman Institute for the Family Series
In this moving and at times deeply
personal video from the Ackerman Institute for the Family,
Olga Silverstein--internationally renowned therapist,
teacher, and author--presents a compelling vision for
connection, possibility, and change in the mother-son
relationship. An immensely useful and skillfully presented
resource, the program draws upon the clinical expertise of
Silverstein and producer Steve Lerner, practicing family
therapist and founding director of Menninger Video
Productions.
Challenging prevailing cultural and psychotherapeutic
messages that encourage mothers to "pull back" from
their sons, and sons to distance themselves from their
mothers, Silverstein draws upon her extensive therapeutic
background and personal experiences with her own son to
provide viewers with an informal yet incisive overview of:
* The ways traditional Freudian interpretations of the
mother-son relationship inhibit parent-child intimacy and
weaken family bonds
* Common cultural assumptions regarding "maleness"
and "femaleness" and how these can hobble the
emotional development of male children and adolescents
* The profound implications of these issues for all
mother-son relationships, particularly for the millions of
female-headed households in America.
The video focuses on a case study of a therapeutic
intervention with a single mother and her teenage son, and is
illustrated as well with personal snapshots from the author's
own family photo album. Silverstein's strong presence is felt
throughout as she offers wise guidance informed by poignant
and illuminating insights gained from her own parenting
experiences. Presenting a convincing case for rethinking the
models under which mental health professionals have long
operated in regard to mother-son relationships and child
development, Silverstein cogently examines such critical
issues as:
* The cultural assumption that male role models are a
prerequisite for raising healthy males.
* Ways single mothers can, on their own, teach their sons all
they need in order to become emotionally healthy,
self-sufficient adults.
* Cultural norms regarding "masculinity" that can
actually increase the risk of health problems such as heart
disease, mortality associated with violence, and other
physical and mental health issues.

(22) Treating Borderline Personality
Disorder
The Dialectical Approach
Marsha M. Linehan
Borderline personality disorder (BPD)
is one of the most treatment-resistant psychological
conditions therapists encounter. Treatment is often
undermined when the self-destructive behaviors associated
with BPD overwhelm the therapist as well as the patient.
This new video program provides an accessible means of
teaching clinicians about Dr. Linehan's effective treatment
program called Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). In this
video and its companion, Understanding Borderline Personality
Disorder, Dr. Linehan brings her model for understanding and
treating BPD to life. Viewers will see Dr. Linehan:
* Present the concepts of DBT in a grand rounds seminar
* Lead an informative training session
* Apply DBT techniques in segments from actual patient
sessions
Dr. Linehan describes her comprehensive, effective model
designed to help patients with BPD to manage the impulsive,
self-destructive behaviors associated with the
disorder--chaotic relationships, substance abuse,
self-mutilation, and suicide attempts. A departure from
previous treatments, this new method focuses on enabling
individuals with BPD to find hope and forge lives less
encumbered by emotional chaos.
Perhaps the most important element of DBT is that it is
immensely practical. The principles of DBT can be applied in
a variety of settings, including outpatient, inpatient, day
treatment, residential treatment, and emergency services. DBT
overcomes the usual barriers to successful treatment by using
a team approach--where the therapist consults with one or
more colleagues throughout treatment. In effect, the team
provides a necessary base of support for the therapist just
as the therapist does for the patient.
In an especially compelling feature, these videos includes
live interview sessions between Dr. Linehan and Allen J.
Frances, Chairman of the DSM-IV Task Force. In these probing
dialogues, Dr. Frances asks the nuts-and-bolts questions all
clinicians want answered about how DBT works and what its
advantages are over other therapies.
In Treating Borderline Personality Disorder, viewers will:
* Learn how to implement Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
* See scenes from actual skills training sessions with
patients
* Gain an explicit understanding of treatment components of
DBT
* Watch therapists in team consultation with colleagues
An important component of DBT is the use of skills training
to help manage the extreme beliefs, actions, and attitudes
that form the criteria for borderline personality disorder.
In actual therapy sessions, the video shows Marsha M. Linehan
teaching patients the use of such skills as mindfulness,
distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and
emotional regulation. In vivid depictions of the various
stages of treatment, viewers will find out how to work with
patients toward decreasing suicidal behaviors,
therapy-interfering behaviors, and posttraumatic stress; and
increasing behavioral skills, self-respect, and achievement
of individual goals.
The video segments explicitly illustrate how the principles
of Linehan's approach include addressing the needs of the
therapist in an attempt to reduce the frustration that
normally occurs when treating patients with BPD. Viewers will
see how Dr. Linehan and a team of therapists work through the
range of problems that can arise in treatment. In this way
viewers are brought into the team milieu and given an
invaluable, hands-on introduction to the effectiveness of
this approach.

materials and techniques, and establish a good working
rapport.

posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). With a reenacted
clinical interview, footage from an actual play therapy
session, and detailed comparisons of the work of children who
have been traumatized with that of normally functioning
children, Dr. Gil helps viewers understand: *What
dissociation looks like in children's paintings and drawings
*Why dissociation occurs, and how it can be addressed in
therapy
*The distinctive characteristics of posttraumatic play
*Concrete ways to intervene when repetitive or ritualized
play becomes harmful

(27) Reinventing Leadership
Edwin H. Friedman
You already know Edwin H. Friedman as
the acclaimed author of Generation to Generation, the
landmark 1985 book applying a systems approach to the
problems of clergy and their congregations. In the past
decade, Friedman has broadened the focus of his systems
interventions to encompass not just religious organizations,
but also corporations, educational institutions, and
government agencies. Viewing the problems of larger systems
as fundamentally no different than those of smaller ones, he
analyzes who makes change happen in groups, and how, and
comes up with surprising answers about what really makes
leaders effective. His unique and provocative approach
demonstrates that leaders actually foster change in
groups--much the way therapists do with families--more by the
nature of their presence than by their technique or know-how.
Distilling the ideas and insights offered in Friedman's
well-received seminars, this new video shows how systems
become stuck and how good leaders can unstick them.
If you're looking to expand your role as a consultant to
larger systems, or are simply seeking a fresh perspective in
your current work, this video offers a stimulating message.
Highlights include segments from actual seminars,
illuminating graphics, on-camera discussions with Friedman
and in-depth interviews with workshop participants, and a
comprehensive study and discussion guide.
The video includes segments from actual seminars, on-camera
discussions with Dr. Friedman and with workshop participants,

(29) Pretending and Truth-Telling in
Women's Lives
Harriet Lerner. Produced by Steve
Lerner
What roles do self-concealment and
deception play in people's lives? In what ways do women lie
to themselves and others, and what purposes do such lies
serve? Is lying always bad? Is truth-telling always good?
In this videotaped public presentation developed from her
best-selling book, The Dance of Deception: Pretending and
Truth-Telling in Women's Lives, noted therapist Harriet
Lerner takes a lively, thought-provoking look at the complex
issues surrounding lying, secrecy, and silence--as well as
honesty and self-revelation--in the lives of women. "The
dance metaphor," Dr. Lerner observes in the video,
"is a good one because the ways that we show the false
and hide the real is at the center of how we choreograph our
relationships with others and how we move in the world."
To understand this interpersonal "dance," Dr.
Lerner looks beyond simplistic, polarized notions that all
lying is "bad" and all truth-telling is
"good" by exploring the various
implications--positive and negative--of speaking openly and
holding back. Drawing from her own clinical practice as well
as from an eclectic range of feminist, sociological,
historical, and popular literature, Dr. Lerner describes how
family, culture and ethnicity, as well as dominant societal
attitudes shape our beliefs and values concerning
self-revelation, candor, and secrecy. Her goal in doing so,
as she explains to viewers, is to "widen the path"
of truth-telling for women about a range of issues once
considered unworthy, unspeakable, or taboo.
Viewers Will Learn:
* How family, culture, and society influence our beliefs and
behaviors regarding self-revelation and concealment
* How dominant culture values have affected women's freedom
to speak about "taboo" issues, and to be heard,
believed, and listened to
* The effects of secrecy and silence on the emotional climate
in family systems
* The circular relationship between stigma, secrecy, and
shame, and how to break out of this destructive cycle
Bracketed by audience reactions at the beginning and end of
the speech, this engaging and provocative video uncovers
deep-rooted and often hidden issues with warmth, humor, and
rare insight.

(30) Understanding the Defiant Child
Russell A. Barkley
Tantrums, resistance to chores,
negativity: occasional clashes between parents and children
are not uncommon. But when a child's defiance is chronic and
disruptive of family life, he or she may have Oppositional
Defiant Disorder (ODD). In this clear and accessible resource
for clinicians and school practitioners, parents, students of
child behavior, and teachers, Dr. Barkley illuminates the
nature of ODD, its causes, why it should be dealt with early,
and what can be done.
Dr. Barkley provides a vivid picture of what we know about
ODD and presents real-life scenes of family interactions and
commentary from parents. Viewers learn how to distinguish ODD
from milder forms of misbehavior, long-term outcomes for
defiant children, the relationship between ODD and ADHD, and
why parent training can help.
