Staff Training DVD

During the past few months as we've gone to several workshops, we've been asked many times why our DVD prices are significantly lower than you find in other producers catalogs. Does that mean our content, or quality is less? Absolutely not!

In the late 1980’s we compared the duplication cost of VHS video tape and 16 MM film and noticed that other producers were charging the same price for film and video, and continue to do so today.

Video is considerably less expensive to produce than film. We’re not going to charge you for film production. We don’t have a large commission paid sales force, or expensive office suites; we don’t publish expensive four-color catalogs mailed monthly. Our costs are less and we pass our savings on to you.

We realize that foreign issued and government credit cards do not always work through the web portal. To make things easier for you, if your card is not recognized on-line, give us a call at 317-283-8872 and we'll process your order the old-fashioned way!

This item was recorded live over two-days in August 2009, and is offered for the first time in December 2009. Available in both DVD and audio CD form, this set utilizes integrated multiple pathways leading one toward true happiness. Developed from the lost discipline of Christian contemplative practice, this powerful approach incorporates current understandings of psychology, neurobiology and monastic contemplative approaches to permanently dissolve aspects of the false-self (ego). This dissolution or emptying of self opens one up to spiritual healing. This realization is the key to serenity and selfless service-sources of true happiness.

The Science of Recovery: Applying Neuroscience and Neuropsychology to Your Practice

This skills training event will give the clinician an understanding of the neuroscience and neuropsychology of addiction and recovery. From this profound understanding, psychotherapeutic and pharmacological techniques will be described that can assist the client in early recovery. This assistance is in the areas of cognitive enhancement, increased motivation and management of craving. This is an exciting advanced clinical skills workshop based on recent neurobiological scientific advances.

Upon completion of this course, the participant will have an under-standing of genetic changes that take place in both addiction and recovery; an understanding of the relationship between Dopamine D2 receptors and alcohol/drug consumption; and be able to discuss the importance of the therapeutic relationship in regard to client improvement in treatment and be able to look at routine counseling practices in a new and exciting way.

DISCOVERY TO RECOVERY: SCIENCE, SPIRITUALITY, & 12-STEP FACILITATED RECOVERY

Prior to the onset of organizations such as the Oxford Group and Alcoholics Anonymous, most alcoholics died from their disease or its complications. Since 1935 over 200 research studies have provided evidence that millions have entered

recovery utilizing 12-step programs. Over the past decades, a rigorous science of recovery has emerged. Some of this science comes from evidence based studies of the treatment of early life trauma in early recovery. The social sciences, spiritual disciplines (Christianity, Buddhism, etc.) and enhancement of health from meditation practices such as mindfulness merge seamlessly into the understanding of 12-Step facilitated recovery. Quantum physics and neuroscience, including scientific studies of spiritual states, neuroimaging of the brain, and studies of genetic influence on a person’s predisposition for addictive disorders also contribute. Completing the picture, research findings in neurobiology reveal how psychoactive drugs work within the brain to cause the many manifestations of addictive disorders.

This understanding has been intuitively realized by millions of alcoholics, addicts, clinicians, and others who have observed—sometimes against all odds—what can only be called the miracle of recovery. Now we can scientifically understand and treat much of what has in the past been relegated to anecdotal lore and mystery.

This video set includes the PowerPoint presentations used by Dr. Nuckols in his presentation.

The field of Behavioral Medicine is robust with new data and research that needs to be translated into useful information for the benefit of the front-line clinician. The ultimate goal of this translation is to empower the clinician with the best information and technique available.

This skills training event will give clinicians the latest research on the interface between Substance-Related Disorders and other DSM-IV entities. Participants can expect to learn how this research translates into actual work with clients. Empirically based psychotherapeutic and pharmacological interventions will be the focus of this skills training event. Case vignettes will be utilized to demonstrate application of clinical technique.

This program gives you the latest research on dependence, tolerance, acute abstinence syndromes, aspects of recovery and available treatments -- both psychosocial and pharmacological. Viewers can expect to learn how this research translates into actual work with clients. Case vignettes will be utilized to demonstrate application of clinical technique.

Anger and aggression are often described as symptoms attached to any one of a number of psychiatric disorders. However, for many clients with histories of early life neglect and abuse (often in combination with alcohol and/or drug use) anger and aggression is used as a survival strategy learned between the ages of 8-16. In their minds and in their histories, anger has often worked for them to keep people away and preserve personal control. This video nearly two and a half hour workshop describes the latest scientific understanding of this group of clients, placing emphasis on verbal management and behavioral stabilization.
