VOICES ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS with Robert Firestone, PhD
What prevents most people from being able to sustain romantic, meaningful relationships that satisfy their needs and desires?
In this film, actual group participants identify negative thoughts or voices toward themselves and others that seriously impair
their capacity for intimate relating. Dr. Robert Firestone helps them identify and understand this negative thought process,
and challenge the self-defeating behavior patterns through the powerful technique of Voice Therapy. Voice Therapy quickly
taps into clients' core negative beliefs and combines insight with deep effect in a way that profoundly shifts clients' point of
view toward self and others to a more compassionate and realistic perspective. By verbalizing their negative thoughts in the
second person, clients are able to separate themselves from their harsh and hostile inner voices. Through the use of this
technique and further collaboration with the therapist on resisting destructive
acting out and increasing positive behavior, clients gain greater levels of intimacy
in their relationships, experience a lift in their depression, and resist relapse into
self-defeating behaviors. #12823/1745 46 minutes 2009 $149.95
GENDER AND COMMUNICATION: Styles and Stereotypes
The moment someone declares, "It’s a boy!" or "It’s a girl!" the biological make up
of that child isn’t the only thing established - a process of gendering begins and
continues throughout that person’s life. One aspect of that process is how we learn
to communicate. Based on the premise that males and females learn different ways
to relate, this program investigates how communication styles fall onto a continuum
of what society deems as masculine and feminine and what it means to deviate
from the norm. #5101/1120 21 minutes 2009 $125.95
MICHAEL KIMMEL ON GENDER: Mars, Venus or
Planet Earth? Women and Men in a New Millennium
We've heard again and again that men and women are
engaged in a "battle of the sexes" that we are so
differently wired and so foreign to each other that we
might as well come from different planets. In this
powerful new lecture, renowned speaker and bestselling
author Michael Kimmel (The Gendered Society, Manhood
in America) turns this conventional wisdom on its head.
With clarity and humor, Kimmel moves beyond the
popular inter-planetary notion that "men are from Mars
and women are from Venus" to advance a decidedly more
earth-bound and inter-connected view of things men and
women have in common. This is an accessible and
entertaining introduction to gender politics and gender
theory - as intellectually informative as it is inspiring, and
suited for use across a range of disciplines and courses.

IN THE COMPANY OF WOMEN
Women can be best friends or worst enemies. Women
have profound emotional ties to other women. Even when
a woman finds the male love of her life, the bonds she
shares with female friends usually remain unshaken.
However, when a woman gets promoted, who is often the
first to attack? Other women, of course! In fact,
relationships between women often polarize at two
extremes: either they're truly wonderful or they're quite
terrible. Why is this topic of critical importance today?
Half of the workforce is women and when women are
working well together, productivity and morale escalate
throughout the entire organization. Drs. Heim and Murphy
help viewers improve working relations based on lessons
The Golden Triangle and the Power Dead-Even Rule teach.

INVISIBLE RULES: Men, Women and Teams - Revised
Men and women live in different cultures. As a result they
have different rules regarding what is considered
"appropriate" adult behavior. Unfortunately, neither
gender is aware of these disparate norms and rules and
often misread what is being communicated.
Consequently, what seems natural to one gender culture
can seem mysterious and baffling to the other. The
differences are not right or wrong but they can result in
confusion and conflict. By making these Invisible Rules
visible, Dr. Heim provides the basis for better
understanding, communication and teamwork.

POWER DEAD-EVEN RULE AND OTHER GENDER
DIFFERENCES IN THE WORKPLACE - Revised
Men and women live in different cultures. As a result they
have different rules regarding what is considered
"appropriate" adult behavior. Unfortunately neither
gender is aware of these disparate norms and rules and
often misread what is being communicated. Women may
see men as belligerent and insensitive. Men often see
women as over-emotional. What they don't understand is
that both men and women are doing what works in their
own culture. Unfortunately, the same behavior can
backfire across culture. Consequently, what seems natural
to one gender culture can seem mysterious and baffling to
the other. In her thoughtful and lively presentation Dr.
Heim will explain some of the different rules of the male
and female cultures and help viewers understand and
learn to improve workplace communication between men
and women instead of placing the blame on either gender.
