HELPING CHILDREN & ADOLESCENTS TO BECOME SELF-NURTURING

This tape deals with the whole aspect of transforming negative, bad feelings about the self into loving, nurturing feelings toward the self.

Since children tend to blame themselves for everything that happens to them, and since feelings of shame and guilt are often insidiously pervasive at the deepest level of the child's psyche, helping children learn to be self-accepting and actively self-nurturing is the single most important element in the therapeutic process. The tape gives very specific examples of how to do this with children of all ages -- from the very young child to the adolescent (and adult).

MUSIC AS THERAPY: A THERAPEUTIC USE OF MUSIC MAKING WITH CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS

This audio tape presents a novel approach to using music making as a therapeutic experience. Music is continually created all around us in the sounds of birds, animals, insects, wind, and sea.

Within each child -- within each of US -- is the capacity to create music. Through a natural form of music making, adapted from the work of the renowned musician Paul Winter, children experience and express aspects of the self in new ways while enhancing contact and communication skills.

The experience is both enlivening and nourishing -- energizing, while soothing and calming. This approach can be used in individual, group, and family therapy. 		audio tape

TREATING CHILDREN WITH SYMPTOMS OF ATTENTION DEFICIT HYPERACTIVE DISORDER

Dr. Oaklander finds it extremely interesting that such a large percentage of children are diagnosed as having attention deficit or hyperactive disorders. This tape discusses possible causes, the issue of medication, and how Dr. Oaklander views these disorders from a Gestalt Therapy perspective.

The main focus of the tape, however, is to explore the treatment of these children. This is an area which Dr. Oaklander finds lacking in everything she hears and reads about ADHD. Those who work with children see a great many who are brought into therapy with this diagnosis. How can we best help them feel good about themselves and develop and grow in healthy ways? This tape presents many case examples of children in Dr. Oaklander's practice over the years and their response to various modes of treatment.

Although this tape is directed to therapists it is believed parents, and teachers as well, will find it revealing and helpful.
