[tips] Re: Abnormal Psychology Videos - Childhood D/O

[Raymond Rogoway]

The correct name for the series is The World of Abnormal Psychology.  The specific video is Behavior Disorders of Childhood.  It's distributed by the Annenberg organization via their Annenberg media site. It's produced by Alvin H. Permutter, Inc. and Toby Levine Communications, 1992. ISBN 1599466790. A description of the entire series can be found at http://www.learner.org/resources/series60.html. Each program can be viewed on-line.  The program describes ADHD, Separation Anxiety, Conduct D/O, and Autism. Many times the various d/os are said to be partially due to parenting.  In the section on Autism which shows facilitated communications they are careful not to use that term. However, they do not say anything about it's controversial nature and in fact, the psychologist who is describing it extolls its virtues. Weird for such a high quality series.

To the best of my knowledge has not this "wonderful phenomenon" not been discredited? At the beginning of the segment, the child is not even looking at the keyboard.
