Thanks very much, Raymond. The video is dated
1992, which just around the time that FC was becoming popular in the
U.S., and was probably just at around the time when the initial debunking
studies began to appear in print. So it's perhaps understandable, although
not condonable, that they weren't as skeptical of it as they should have been
back then. Still, it's troubling that they are continuing to air this
video without any qualifications regarding FC's efficacy. .....Scott

Videos - Childhood D/O
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.
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.

appalling. Could you possibly give us (TIPS members) the name,
producer, etc. of this video? I'd very much like to check it
out. Very scary.

Abnormal Psychology Videos - Childhood D/O
I just finished watching the Abnormal Psychology Video
program on Childhood D/O on my local PBS channel and what to
my wondrous eyes did appear, in the section on autism, but a segment
extolling the virtues of "facilitated communications." 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.
