"Recommended. This program presents various types of
conflicts and provides a process for settling disputes. It illustrates how
conflict itself is not necessarily negative, and that negative effects
result from how conflict is handled. It is well organized and easy to
follow. The various types of conflicts and steps to resolution are provided
in captions on the screen if viewers want to take notes. The actors are
credible and sound quality is good. It could benefit young people learning
to deal with conflict as well as mature adults." -EMRO Review "Recommended.

| A clinician is defined as a health professional, such as a physician, psychiatrist, psychologist, or nurse, who is involved in clinical practice and usually practices at a clinic; nurse practitioners and physician assistants are also considered clinicians. Caring for people, although it has immeasurable rewards, also comes with a certain amount of stress. Obviously, events such as the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, caused unimaginable stress; however, even on any given day, traumatic situations can upset and distress even the most expert of professional caregivers. This program offers gentle guidance for clinicians facing constant stressful situations; it presents five expert clinicians, Frank Putnam, M.D., Anne C. Pratt, Ph.D., Richard Mollica, M.D., Daniel J. Abrahamson, Ph.D., and Laurie Ann Pearlman, Ph.D., who address trauma training and the path to healing, focusing on "R.I.C.H." relationships: Respect; Information; Connection; Hope. The goal is clear: if people can work toward relationships that include these four elements, there is great hope for healing.ation; Connection; Hope. If people can work toward relationships that include these four elements, there is great hope for healing. Produced by Robert Parish. 09DR SCA 30 min. |
| When the unthinkable happened on September 11, 2001, people naturally re-examined their belief systems; this includes the everyday heroes who went beyond the call of duty to help others. After 9/11, lessons in healing had to be learned, and quickly, not only to help people victimized by the attacks, but also for the countless number of people who sacrificed so much simply "doing their jobs." As so often is the case, the key to healing is to know there is hope. In this program experts Karen Jaakvitne, Ph.D., Anne C. Pratt, Ph.D., and Daniel J. Abrahamson, Ph.D., focus on how there is more good than evil in the world, noting that on September 11th the world witnessed people responding out of love and altruism to help others, and in seeing that saw how hope is the best weapon against despair. Such lessons can help clinical professionals in their efforts to help today's everyday heroes who face traumatic situations find hope. Produced by Robert Parish. 09DR SCA 30 min. |
