    SUCCEEDING THROUGH AUTISM

    By Sean Barron

    In this compelling DVD, Sean Barron tells the story of how he went from being a child with low functioning autism to the successful man, journalist, and boyfriend he is today.

    When Sean was young, he felt very alone and isolated from the rest of the world. But as the years passed, he learned many social "unwritten rules" that have helped him to become more connected and in tune with society, resulting in renewed relationships with his family, a mutually rewarding relationship with his girlfriend, and a job that is intellectually stimulating. As Sean says in his recent book Unwritten Rules of Social Relationships, "I am the happiest I have ever been."

    Sean shares his unwritten rules and much more in this warm, candid presentation. As a special bonus, we even hear from Sean's girlfriend Barbara Protopapa, a young woman with autism, who shares some insight into her life and her relationship with Sean.

    CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS: ADOLESCENTS WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER

    With David J. Miklowitz, PhD

    In Adolescents With Bipolar Disorder, Dr. David J. Miklowitz demonstrates a family-oriented approach to working with young clients with this diagnosis. Bipolar disorder manifests itself in drastic emotional highs and lows: People cycle between feeling elated and full of energy to states of severe depression. Diagnosing adolescents with this disorder can be especially difficult.

    A family-oriented approach to working with this population involves examining the client's family context and how it affects the disorder, and how the disorder affects the family. Treatment often involves psychoeducation, working with the client's doctor or psychiatrist to adjust medication, and helping resolve family tensions that might exacerbate the client's symptoms through communication and problem-solving skills training.

    In this session, Dr. Miklowitz works with a 17-year-old girl with both bipolar disorder and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder who has a history of self-harm. After assessing her family system and her other supports, Dr. Miklowitz helps the client identify the tools she has available to her for handling the different stages of her bipolar cycle.

    CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS: FILIAL PLAY THERAPY

    With Rise VanFleet, PhD

    In Filial Play Therapy, Dr. Rise VanFleet demonstrates this approach to helping parents develop their relationships with their children through nondirective play. Filial play therapy creates a safe atmosphere where children can express themselves, try new things, learn about social rules and restrictions, develop family attachments, and develop effective social skills and bonds.

    Because filial play therapy is a developmentally attuned way of communicating and understanding, it can be used with nearly all child problems. Research has shown that play therapy is more effective when parents are involved, so this approach involves training parents how to effectively play with their children.

    In this session, Dr. VanFleet works with an 8-year-old girl and her mother. First she plays with the girl while her mother watches and then talks with the mother about how the play went. Afterward, Dr. VanFleet plays with the mother, training and coaching her in nondirective play skills that will help her develop a stronger relationship with her daughter.

    CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS: TREATMENT WITH DEFIANT AND AGGRESSIVE ADOLESCENTS

    With Fred J. Hanna, PhD

    In Treatment With Defiant and Aggressive Adolescents, Dr. Fred J. Hanna demonstrates his practical approach to working with adolescents who have behavior problems. Dr. Hanna's precursors to change model has been used successfully with teenagers who are involved in drugs, gangs, violence, or serious misbehavior in school and other situations. This approach emphasizes seven precursors to change, including instilling a sense of necessity for change and the hope that change is attainable, along with the willingness to experience anxiety and confront issues.

    In this session, Dr. Hanna works with a 17-year-old boy who says he wants to succeed in school, although he also asserts that it is all right to drink and party with his friends. Dr. Hanna first assesses the presence of the precursors to change, then creates cognitive dissonance between the two sides of the client's personality so that the client will seek to resolve this split and commit to making changes in his life.

    CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS: ADOLESCENT BOYS WHO ARE SUICIDAL

    With David A. Jobes, PhD, ABPP

    In Adolescent Boys Who Are Suicidal, David A. Jobes demonstrates his integrative, problem-solving approach to working with male adolescents who have contemplated or attempted suicide. Preliminary research suggests that although men and male adolescents are more likely to complete suicide compared to females, there is evidence to suggest clinical success if they are engaged in treatment. Dr. Jobes's approach emphasizes the importance of a strong alliance with the client and working to inspire the client's motivation to pursue psychological and behavioral change.

    In this session, Dr. Jobes works with a high school-aged boy who seriously considers suicide as an attractive option for escaping problems in his life. Through the course of this session, the teen becomes more hopeful and begins to formulate some sense of his life in the future.

    CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS: ADOLESCENT GIRLS WHO ARE SUICIDAL

    With David A. Jobes, PhD, ABPP

    In Adolescent Girls Who Are Suicidal, David A. Jobes demonstrates his integrative, problem-solving approach to working with female adolescents who have contemplated or attempted suicide. Suicide attempts by adolescent girls are three times as frequent as those by boys. Most teenage girls with suicidal ideation have identifiable psychological, social, or familial problems that can be helped by careful assessment and treatment, thus eliminating the need for suicide. Dr. Jobes's approach emphasizes building an alliance with the client, attending closely as she talks about her problems and feelings, and inspiring the client's motivation to pursue psychological and behavioral change.

    In this session, Dr. Jobes works with a teenage girl who is emotionally hurt and contemplating escape through suicide. Dr. Jobes helps her begin to realize the difference between suicide as a "comforting" fantasy versus a scary and deadly reality.

    With Alec L. Miller, PsyD

    In Dialectical Behavior Therapy for Adolescents With Multiple Problems, Alec L. Miller demonstrates this compassionate, principle-based therapy for clients who have difficulty regulating emotions and behaviors. Emotional dysregulation is common among adolescents, often leading them to self-injurious behavior, including suicide.

    In this session, Dr. Miller works with a 17-year-old boy who is depressed, abusing marijuana, and who has recently contemplated suicide. Dr. Miller highlights the client's strengths while trying to obtain commitment to treatment in order to reduce his depression and marijuana use and build a life worth living.

    CHILDREN AND AUTISM: TIME IS BRAIN

    The mother of an autistic child implores parents who suspect their child may be autistic not to 'wait and see.' Don't wait, don't be afraid of that diagnosis, diagnosis is a tool, not a stigma. The term 'time is brain' is absolutely accurate for children with autism, because the sooner diagnosed, the sooner they can get excellent care. As many as 1.5 million Americans today are believed to have some form of this complex neurological disorder and the number is on the rise. According to the U.S. Department of Education, the incidence could reach 4 million Americans within the next decade.

    KIDS' MEALS: GFCF COOKING INSTRUCTION

    Starring Jean Duane

    Cooking for children on a gluten-free casein-free (GFCF) diet can be challenging, especially when kids want the popular kinds of foods that their friends eat, or foods they see and hear about on TV. This instructional cooking DVD starring Jean Duane shows you how to make GFCF foods that kids will recognize and want to eat. They can enjoy macaroni and "cheese," pizza, and homemade bread sandwiches with a variety of fillings, served with cream of tomato soup. Tacos are a kid-pleaser, too, and these feature marinated fish, coleslaw, avocado spread, and chopped tomato salsa. The Shepard's Pie is filled with vegetables and a creamy sauce and served with warm, sweet apple crisp. To top it off, Jean makes Carol Fenster's vegan chocolate cupcakes and vanilla "ice cream" made with cashews. These meals are sure to make your kids jump for joy. Remember, there is always an alternative!

    Review
  • "The thing I like about the DVDs by the Alternative Cook is that they are so beautifully and visually appealing to watch. It is like having a gluten-free, dairy-free, low-cholesterol cook in the kitchen right with you. ... You can see what the food looks like, you can see it being processed and put together, and what the final product looks like, and even wonderful ideas about how to display the food on your plate. We all eat with our eyes, so when we see beautiful food, we are even more enticed to want to eat it. ... For example, in Kids' Meals, we actually make ice cream from cashews, and while you might not have thought of cashews as an ingredient for ice cream, it makes a wonderful, creamy texture, very much like cream. It is this innovation and creativity that I think these DVDs bring to people who only thought in terms of the realm of wheat, eggs, milk, and sugar, the typical things that we Americans cook with, which many of us cannot have anymore for various reasons. These DVDs show us how to work with many other healthy ingredients that work just as well, taste just as good, and look just as gorgeous." - Carol Fenster, Ph.D.
