A growing number of couples in the United States find themselves facing the profound

Evan Imber-Black, PhD
Produced by Steve Lerner, PhD
Secrets have far-reaching implications for families, setting the stage
for a tense emotional climate of guardedness, anger, and reactivity.
In this illuminating video, Evan Imber-Black, an internationally
recognized expert on rituals, larger systems, and family secrets,
speaks to viewers about the implications of secrets, and techniques
for ushering families through the process of identifying,
understanding, and resolving secrets. Dr. Imber-Black presents a
series of insightful and moving family therapy sessions in which she
models the various stages of helping families to uncover and examine
key events in their family history, understand how these patterns may
affect family functioning, decide whether, when, and how to reveal a
secret, and promote fuller integration of the family history and
events of the past.

Produced and Directed by Karin Heller and Bill Domonkos
From A Secret Place provides an engrossing account of the coming out process of gay and
lesbian youth, and illuminates the special difficulties these teens face at home and at
school. Interviews with adolescents and their families, professional commentary and
dramatic vignettes explore topics including the process of coming to terms with a
homosexual identity, the need for gay and lesbian role models and support groups, coming
out to close friends and family, parents' feelings, and many more. Thought provoking and
accessible, this video is invaluable for all mental health professionals working with
adolescents, as well as teachers and school administrators, and teenagers and their
parents. It also serves as a valuable training tool for professionals, and a much-needed
component of health education and human sexuality courses.

Peggy Papp, LCSW and the Depression Project: Jeffrey Seibel, LCSW, Gloria Klein, MSW, and Paul Feinberg, PhD
Produced by Steve Lerner, PhD
From The Ackerman Institute for the Family Series
Peggy Papp demonstrates her team-based approach to treating depression
within a marital therapy context. Viewers observe a series of clinical
sessions in which the Depression Project's male/female treatment team
works with a severely depressed couple to help reduce marital discord,
alleviate each partner's feelings of despair, and bolster the couple's
sense of competency and satisfaction within the marriage. The video
brings to life strategies for helping couples recognize symptoms of
emotional disconnectedness, restore a sense of connectedness as individuals
and within the couple, redistribute and equalize responsibility in relationships,
develop new skills and competencies, and modify stereotypic gender patterns that
undermine the health of a relationship and exacerbate depression.

Constance Ahrons, PhD
Produced by Steve Lerner, PhD
In a time when fifty percent of American marriages end in divorce, therapists frequently encounter families struggling with the aftermath of the breakup and the adjustment to new family constellations when one or both ex-spouses re-marries. How do ex-spouses who don't get along manage their shared parenting obligations? In this compelling video, renowned therapist Constance Ahrons demonstrates her groundbreaking clinical approach to working with divorced families. The video depicts a series of productive and poignant therapy sessions with an entire binuclear family: the divorced mother and father, their two sons, and the new wife of the children's father. Dr. Ahrons aptly demonstrates how over time, she brings these reluctant family members together to begin forging a more agreeable, cooperative approach to parenting.

Kenneth V. Hardy, PhD
Produced by Steve Lerner, PhD
As internationally acclaimed family therapist and educator Kenneth V. Hardy observes in this compelling video, slavery remains a “contemporary ghost” that shapes African Americans' self-image, their relationships to one another and their relationships with White Americans. Thus, understanding slavery and its legacy is essential for educators, human service providers and all of us who have respect for the African American experience. Behind a backdrop of powerful historical and contemporary imagery, Hardy clearly demonstrates the importance of recognizing and openly addressing the past. He lays the groundwork for genuine dialogue, understanding, and healing in the here-and-now in clinical environments, classrooms, and other settings for enhancing cultural sensitivity and awareness.

Steve Lerner, PhD
In this video, renowned family therapist Steve Lerner presents his work with men who are in crisis after being left by their wives or partners. Using excerpts from a clinical interview with a client who was left by his wife, as well as an actual session including the now-divorced couple, their young son, and each of their respective new partners, Lerner cogently demonstrates his unique four-stage approach for helping men to cope more adaptively with the end of a marriage or significant relationship.
