"...I cannot begin to tell you how valuable these tapes would be to most if not all - of the adoptive and foster parents with whom I work. I feel that they would be an excellent tool for me to use during my evaluation process, and also for our foster care and delinquency workers to use in helping foster parents understand and deal with the behaviors that they see daily."

Many people who experience severe emotional or physical pain, over which they had little or no control develop Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, the major symptoms of which are difficulty developing and maintaining close relationships with others and oppositional defiant behaviors. I view most of the children and adults in my program to be experiencing post-traumatic stress, which often does not respond to just traditional talking and play therapy. My 29 years of working with people with post-traumatic stress disorder has enabled me to develop methods and techniques specifically for post-traumatic stress disorder, making it much more likely that families will make progress than if treated by a general therapist without experience or methods that directly focus on post-traumatic stress disorder.

People learn more efficiently and effectively when they visualize, feel, and experience what is being talked about rather than just hearing words.
Children make faster progress when parents, therapists, and school personnel work together as a team reinforcing in a consistent manner the ideas and lessons being taught.
