Power of Play

Power of Play


POWER OF PLAY, THE

Program for parents on why children need unstructured time an opportunities to play.

There's more to watching children at play in this DVD than sharing the joy of their freedom in fun and fantasy. Each viewing will offer fresh insights into the importance of play in a child's life

As early child experts make clear, play is a child's "job". And unstructured play is crucial to the development of children during their formative years from birth to age eight. It is how they learn about themselves and the world around them.

The Power of Play presents a convincing case for the value of play in the social, emotional and mental growth of children in their early years, years crucial to their development.

Appearing are award-wining teachers and other early childhood experts who use real life scenes of infants, toddlers, and school age children in the Kohl Children's Museum, in classrooms, parks, beaches, and most important, at home, to illustrate their reasoning for the importance of play. The key role of parents, say these experts, is to "provide play space, playmates and playtime."

Especially meaningful as parents struggle to establish family priorities in a complex and time-demanding world, The Power of Play's message is clear and compelling: Children need unstructured time and opportunities to PLAY - alone, with other children, and especially with their own fathers and mothers.

    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.

    CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS: BRIEF THERAPY WITH ADOLESCENTS

    With John M. Littrell, EdD

    In Brief Therapy With Adolescents, John Littrell, EdD, demonstrates his approach to working with teenage clients. This approach seeks to shorten the length of therapy by looking at the client's patterns of behavior and helping to change the patterns that do not fit the client's goals.

    In this session, Dr. Littrell works with a 17-year-old boy who is having problems with grades and getting into trouble in school. Dr. Littrell helps the client increase his sense of agency and see that he has more choices than he is currently aware of, which helps the client develop a concrete set of goals for change.

    CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS: DIALECTICAL BEHAVIOR THERAPY FOR ADOLESCENTS WITH MULTIPLE PROBLEMS

    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. Studies have shown that dialectical behavior therapy can significantly reduce suicide attempts and help adolescent clients deal with multiple problems.

    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 ADOLESCENTS: PARENT-CHILD INTERACTION THERAPY

    With Cheryl Bodiford McNeil, PhD

    In Parent-Child Interaction Therapy, Dr. Cheryl Bodiford McNeil demonstrates this approach to helping young children who present with conduct problem behavior. This empirically supported intervention focuses on improving the relationship between parent and child by teaching parents specific skills to develop a nurturing, secure bond with their child. Parents also learn specific strategies for improving child compliance through consistent limit setting.

    In this session, Dr. McNeil works with a 45-year-old single mother of a 3-year-old girl who acts self-destructively when she does not get her way. Dr. McNeil watches the mother and daughter relate to each other and coaches the client through the use of an ear bug that allows her to guide the mother while she interacts with her daughter.

    In Autism Spectrum Disorders, Dr. James A. Mulick shows his approach to counseling children with autism and their parents. Autism spectrum disorder, which includes autism and Asperger syndrome, is characterized by impairment in communication skills, social interactions, and repetitive patterns of behavior. Dr. Mulick works with families with autistic children to help them handle this disorder.

    In this session, Dr. Mulick works with a mother of a 10-year-old boy who has been diagnosed with autism. Dr. Mulick uses his behavioral-educational approach to assess the present situation and makes several intervention suggestions, including exposure, distraction, and reinforcement.

    RELATIONSHIPS: MULTIDIMENSIONAL FAMILY THERAPY

    With Howard A. Liddle, EdD, ABPP

    In Multidimensional Family Therapy, Dr. Howard A. Liddle demonstrates this integrative, empirically supported approach for working with families of adolescents with behavior and substance abuse problems. Multidimensional family therapy (MDFT) protocols guide therapists in assessing and intervening simultaneously in developmentally critical domains of a teen's and family's life. Emotions, cognitive processes, and behavior are interconnected and are all addressed in MDFT. Adolescent problems such as drug abuse and delinquency are multidimensional in etiology and current manifestation, and therefore attempted remedies and therapist behavior must be multidimensional as well.

    As a multisystems model, MDFT clinicians work individually with the adolescent and the parent, with the family as a whole to facilitate new relationships, and with family members in relation to sources of ongoing influence such as school and juvenile justice systems to address current functioning and new solutions for the adolescent.

    In this session, Dr. Liddle works with a 15-year-old boy, recently diagnosed with ADHD and depression, who seeks a better relationship with his father. Dr. Liddle meets with the adolescent client and his mother to help them move beyond previous therapy to make changes in their lives.

    RELATIONSHIPS: TEENAGE GIRLS

    With Karen Zager, PhD

    In Teenage Girls, Dr. Karen Zager demonstrates her approach to therapy with adolescent girls. Teenage girls are a complex population difficult to pigeonhole; however, one general fact is that this group usually does not feel that adults listen to them. Dr. Zager therefore recommends listening as the key to working with teenage girls. Therapists must also respect what the client wants to obtain from therapy and avoid imposing therapeutic goals on the teenage girl.

    In this session, Dr. Zager works with a 14-year-old girl named Lauren who is having issues with family tensions as well as relationship troubles with boys. Dr. Zager works with Lauren to help her see her problems from a broader perspective.

    RELATIONSHIPS: INTEGRATIVE FAMILY THERAPY

    With Jay Lebow, PhD, ABPP

    In Integrative Family Therapy, Jay Lebow, PhD, ABPP, demonstrates his multimodal, evidence-based approach to working with families. This approach views family issues as complex combinations of biology, behavior, cognition, affect, and systemic factors. Anchored in a client-oriented philosophy, Dr. Lebow first delineates client goals and then uses the most appropriate generic evidence-based strategies that can help achieve the goals set by the clients.

    In this session, Dr. Lebow works with a family whose 7-year-old son was recently diagnosed with attention-deficit disorder (ADD). Dr. Lebow focuses on helping the family better understand ADD, determining situations associated with stronger exhibition of ADD symptoms, supporting the family in continuing the behavioral treatment program in which they are already participating, and processing their experience with this problem.

Dr. Christophersen's behavioral approach is to show parents effective ways for managing children's behavior and to help children learn to change their own behavior.

    In this session, Dr. Christophersen works with a young single mother and her toddler son, first assessing their relationship and then teaching good child-parent interaction through modeling and instruction.

    RELATIONSHIPS: CHILD CUSTODY

    With G. Andrew H. Benjamin, JD, PhD

    In Child Custody, Dr. G. Andrew H. Benjamin demonstrates part of a 5-phase approach to family law evaluation in child custody cases. A great percentage of ethical complaints filed against psychologists are connected to child custody litigation. However, by following a careful protocol in working with these cases, psychologists can avoid these complaints and play a valuable role in helping the children involved.

    In this session, Dr. Benjamin demonstrates the 5th phase of the process, the closing interview. Dr. Benjamin interviews a father who is accused of abusing his daughter and presents the client with the facts of the case so that he understands the evidence that the evaluation has produced.

    This DVD features a client portrayed by an actor on the basis of a composite of several actual cases. The case evaluation report is published in Family Evaluation in Custody Litigation: Reducing Risks of Ethical Infractions and Malpractice.

    In Helping Children Understand Adoption, Dr. Marc A. Nemiroff shows how to help adopted children come to terms with the question of "Where did I come from?" and with any potential traumas they may have experienced before adoption. The child-centered approach illustrated in this program emphasizes empathizing with the child and helping parents to truly understand their adopted child's experience.

    In this session, Dr. Nemiroff meets with a 9-year-old girl who, before being adopted, was believed to have been abused by her birth family as a toddler; in addition, she lived for some years in an orphanage. Dr. Nemiroff works separately with the girl's adoptive mother, assisting her in understanding her daughter's interpretation of her adoption and helping her to help her daughter cope with the trauma she has experienced.

    RELATIONSHIPS: WORKING WITH STEPFAMILIES

    With James H. Bray, PhD

    In Working With Stepfamilies, Dr. James H. Bray shows his approach to counseling stepfamilies or remarried families-families created when two spouses who already have children get married. This is a complex form of therapy-as there are usually many people involved-including the parents, their respective children, the nonresidential parents of those children, grandparents and other members of the extended family, and children born to remarried ex-spouses. The goal of this therapy is to help the family blend together by improving their functioning in four areas: parenting, disciplining, strengthening the marital relationship, and working to include nonresidential family in the stepfamily.

    In this session, Dr. Bray works with a couple who, although they have been involved for 5 years, have only recently married, and are dealing with the bickering and acting out of their children from previous marriages. Dr. Bray works with the couple and their children, attending to the needs of each member of the family, focusing especially on parental disciplining skills, communication skills, and blending of family traditions.

    With Raine Weiner, PhD

    In Teenage Eating Disorders, Dr. Raine Weiner demonstrates her approach to working with adolescent clients who present with eating disorders. Eating disorders, which include anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating, are common among teenagers, especially among girls.

    In this session, Dr. Weiner works with a girl who is experiencing obsessive thoughts, recurrent anxiety, and periodic sadness regarding her weight and appearance.

    With Jane Annunziata, PsyD

    In Play Therapy With a 6-Year-Old, Dr. Jane Annunziata demonstrates her approach to working with children. Play therapy is premised on the assumption that a child's problems come from unconscious conflicts and developmental deficits, both of which will be revealed in their play.

    In this session, Dr. Annunziata works with a young boy named Matthew who has been sad and withdrawn. Through the process of play therapy, Matthew expresses more of his emotions, and the therapeutic alliance becomes stronger.

    SPECIFIC TREATMENTS FOR SPECIFIC POPULATIONS: PRACTICAL PSYCHOTHERAPY WITH ADOLESCENTS

    With Alice K. Rubenstein, EdD

    In Practical Psychotherapy With Adolescents, Dr. Alice K. Rubenstein demonstrates her approach to working with adolescent clients. Because of the complexity of their lives, adolescents often have difficulty describing their feelings and identifying the source of stressors. Dr. Rubenstein helps adolescent clients to identify their feelings and the factors contributing to the problems they are dealing with, and then helps brainstorm possible solutions. In this session, Dr. Rubenstein works with a 15-year-old boy with behavioral difficulties, family conflicts, and academic problems. She helps him find ways to reduce the tension with his father and address some of the problems he is having at school because of his recently diagnosed attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

    SPECIFIC TREATMENTS FOR SPECIFIC POPULATIONS: PSYCHOTHERAPY OF CHILDREN WITH CONDUCT DISORDERS USING GAMES AND STORIES

    With Richard A. Gardner, MD

    In Psychotherapy of Children With Conduct Disorders Using Games and Stories, Dr. Richard A. Gardner demonstrates his approach to working with children who present with this common disorder. Children with conduct disorders are often incapable of understanding their own behavior, making this therapy very difficult. By using games and stories, Dr. Gardner allows young clients to self-disclose through metaphoric stories and within the boundaries of game play.

    In this session, Dr. Gardner works with a 12-year-old girl named Ruth who refuses to interact with him. His repeated invitations to her to play a therapeutic board game called "The Talking, Feeling, and Doing Game" result in her increased willingness to disclose her feelings.

    This program features a client portrayed by an actor on the basis of actual case material.

    SPECIFIC TREATMENTS FOR SPECIFIC POPULATIONS: WORKING WITH CHILDREN WITH ADHD

    With Vincent J. Monastra, PhD

    In Working With Children With ADHD, Dr. Vincent J. Monastra shows viewers his approach to helping children who have attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). ADHD is characterized by symptoms involving inattention and may also include impulsivity and hyperactivity.

    Dr. Monastra works closely with physicians to determine first what, if any, neurological, medical, or nutritional components there are to a child's ADHD, and after these have been treated, moves on to assessing and treating any functional issues that remain.

    In this session, Dr. Monastra works with a 7-year-old boy named Christopher who has previously been diagnosed with ADHD. The program shows the presession assessment of the client, which includes Christopher taking computerized attention and academic measures while connected to an EEG brainwave monitor. In the session itself, Dr. Monastra provides psychoeducation that helps to change the framework in which Christopher and his mother were viewing his problems.

    PSYCHOLOGY IN THE SCHOOLS: WORKING WITH CHILDREN WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED NEGLECT OR ABUSE

    With Wes Crenshaw, PhD

    In Working With Children Who Have Experienced Neglect or Abuse, Dr. Wes Crenshaw demonstrates his approach to working with children who have been neglected or sexually or physically abused. Because most offenders in cases of abuse or neglect are within the child's family, this approach by necessity treats the entire family system, and the goal of therapy is to recontextualize the act of injustice, in both the offender's and the victim's minds.

    In this session, Dr. Crenshaw works with three sons who were neglected and abused by their mother, who is addicted to drugs. Dr. Crenshaw listens to the painful experiences of this family and then helps the boys and their father to place the mother's behavior within the broader context of their lives.

Lev Vygotsky's unique contribution of seeing play as an arena in which a child can begin to master her own behavior is carefully detailed.

    BABY'S ATTENTION DURING PLAY, THE

    Based on the research of Anna Tardos, this program explores the phenomenon that infants who have had a harmonious relationship with those around them seem more able to find pleasure in autonomous and independent activities.

    Tardos also investigates the different types of attentiveness which infants can manifest under favorable circumstances, types of attentiveness which during lengthy periods of play seem to form a self-regulated system.

    This system is a sign of a healthy equilibrium and its presence in the infant serves to facilitate the learning process and insure healthy cognitive and affective development. The infants in this program range in ages from 9 to 12 months.

    The tape is primarily intended for a professional audience, but may be used with groups of parents.

    GROWING THROUGH PLAY: COGNITIVE AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT

    Filmed in a year-round, all-day child-care center, children from infancy through five years of age are seen in a variety of play situations as they demonstrate various stages of play and their mastery of skills through play.

    In this program emphasis is placed on the thoughtful arrangement of classrooms and pre-school yards that create opportunities for age-appropriate play and open-ended learning experiences. In these environments children are able to choose their own activities.

    Using exploration, experimentation, purposeful play, and categorical learning, the children gain proficiency in eye-hand coordination, problem solving, vocabulary, attentiveness, pre-literacy, sociability, and in other areas.

    The program focuses on the whole learning experience that takes place in the course of play. It is designed to increase understanding of how teachers can organize and direct childrenˇ¦s play without interfering with the childrenˇ¦s natural interests, growth, and development.
