| Cancer Psychology: An Interview with Dr. Lawrence LeShan More on DVD Version | Dr. Lawrence LeShan is the pioneer of psychological intervention for cancer. As a psychologist, Dr. LeShan first began working with terminal cancer patients using classic Freudian techniques and learned that the traditional psychotherapeutic approach (searching for pathology and its' roots) was ineffective. His own research revealed that a majority of his clients had lost their enthusiasm for life, prior to contracting cancer. Aware of it, or not, they no longer believed they would be able to achieve the kind of satisfying life they desired. LeShan developed a new approach. It entails helping a person search for what would be a zestful and enthusiastic life; as he calls it, to "find their song." With this form of therapy, a majority of his terminal clients went into remission or their cancer resolved. Remarkable, but not unscientific according to LeShan. To him, and those that practice this form of therapy, it is mostly a matter of relieving stress on the immune system, and allowing the immune system to improve its' ability to heal. LeShan emphatically states that it is not a matter of people creating their own reality. He says he has known people who have not wanted to live very much, but no one who wanted to die. He is critical of therapists who leave their clients feeling guilty and feeling that they were in some way responsible for their cancer. Skilled professionals, he maintains, do not have this as a problem. In this interview, LeShan gives a comprehensive review of this therapy, it’s origins, mechanics and practical application. Lawrence LeShan is clearly one of the grand masters of psychology. He has developed a sensible, satisfying, and effective complementary cancer therapy that is a must for those wishing to help those with cancer survive. Interview Questions: q When was the relationship between cancer and psychology first considered? q How do psychological factors effect the development of cancer? q Is traditional psychotherapy effective? q What is this new approach based on and what are the results? q Does this new therapy provide a different experience for the patient? q What areas should therapists encourage cancer patients to explore? q How do you assist a client in "finding their song" if they believe fulfillment is impossible? q Can psychological factors cause cancer? q What do you advise people who are looking for a "cancer therapist?" Please be aware that these questions do not encompass the entire scope of the answers that Dr. LeShan provided. Dr. LeShan's responses were lengthy and far reaching and included much more information than one might be led to believe by the questions alone. He presents a coherent, logical and practical presentation of a remarkable therapeutic approach that every person with cancer can benefit. ©2002 New Way Productions |

| Anxiety - It's Phenomenology in the First Year of Life More on DVD Version | A Rene Spitz study featuring the phenomenology of anxiety from birth to the end of the first year is presented on the basis of behavioristic observation of its manifestations. The development of the discharge phenomena observed at birth are shown and the differentiation of pleasure-unpleasure responses in the third month is illustrated. The further differentiation of phenomenologically definable manifestations of “anxiety proper” after the sixth month are presented. From here anxiety branches out into normal and into pathological phenomena; examples of both are presented. A phenomenological distinction between tensional status, discharge ohenomena, unpleasure manifestations, and “anxiety proper” is demonstrated. The appearance of anxiety proper is brought into relation with the appearance of the first traces of clinically distinguishable psychiatric disease.

Experiments show the factors operative in the smiling responses. The differentiation of the negative emotion is shown in the four-month-old child. The negative emotion's preponderant role between the eighth and the tenth month, during which it leads the development of the other emotions, is shown, as well as its role in the process of environmental discrimination. The last part of the film demonstrates the wide gamut of emotions the child has already developed at the end of its first year. Silent © 1953 Rene Spitz, M.D., Psychology.

| Grasping More on DVD Version | A Rene Spitz study featuring the development of the grasping pattern. Grasping develops as a sequence in which motor skills interact progressively with the ever-widening radius of the unfolding of the psyche. Grasping proper is an intentional act. Its earliest predecessor in the development is the clutching reflex, a purely motor pattern present at birth and shown in the first pictures. A learning process adapts this motor pattern to purposeful use. Between grasping proper and clutching reflex, there is also a motor difference shown in the film; the clutching reflex takes place with unopposed thumb. Mastery of grasping is achieved when the infant uses the neuromuscular pattern adequately to exploit environmental facilities to gratify its needs. The grasping development encompasses all of the first year. Silent © 1953 (Rene Spitz, M.D., Psychology) From the Psycholoanalytic Research Project on Problems in Infancy film studies. |
| Motherlove More on DVD Version | In Motherlove, Rene Spitz begins his study showing the social relations of Johnny to his mother starting with the first day of life in the feeding situation. The first feeding is shown, and the mother’s attitude toward Johnny is illustrated.

The continuation of these relations after weaning and their shifting pattern is shown again in the feeding situation. The influence of the birth of a sibling three years later and the mother’s way of dealing with the new situation are presented. In the second part of the film the loss of mother love is shown in another child. The child’s happy behavior while enjoying her mother’s care, followed by unhappiness after separation from her mother is described. Similar stages are shown in three other children. The behavior of these children at the approach of a stranger is presented. In contrast, the film ends by showing Johnny, the child first shown, whose relations with his mother have been constantly happy ones, in free and boisterous interchanges with a complete stranger.

| Psychogenic Disease in Infancy: An Attempt at their Classification More on DVD Version | In Psychogenic Disease in Infancy, Rene Spitz lays the groundwork for understanding the mother-child bonding relationship. In infants during the first year of life a series of clinical pictures can be distinguished, in the etiology of which psychological factors appear to be involved. This film illustrates a series of psychogenic diseases and attempts to relate the clinical picture with one of the etiological factors; namely the infants' relationship with their mothers. The clinical pictures accordingly are divided into two categories: those diseases in which the wrong kind of mother-child relation act, as it were, as a psychic toxin, called psychotoxic disease; those diseases in which the lack of sufficient mother-child relations result in a deficiency of emotional supplies for the infant, called emotional deficiency diseases. the conclusion is drawn that the etiological factors underlying this classification are the quality of the mother-child relation in the emotional deficiency diseases.

| Shaping the Personality: The Role of Mother-Child Relations in Infancy More on DVD Version | This film illustrates forms of mother-child relations and their influence on the child. A brief anamnesis of the mother's pregnancy is confronted with her behavior during breast feeding in an attempt to present the biological and psychological factors that will influence the emergent mother-child relations and will decide the future attitude of the mother to her child. Five mothers, breast-feeding their children, are successively shown. The behavior of the mothers in feeding and play situations is shown to be an expression of their conscious or unconscious wishes of what their children should be like. Five children are shown. Each is followed by a catamnesis of the further development of the child, showing how much the child's personality is a product of the mother's wishes and how much it molds itself to the picture she has of him.

| Somatic Consequences of Emotional Starvation in Infants More on DVD Version | Rene Spitz, M.D. conducts a comparison of five pairs of children, each pair age-matched within one week. Each pair consists of a.) A desired, loved child in a comfortable middle-class environment and b.) A waif raised by its mother in an excellently appointed foundling home with good hygienic care and adequate food during the first four months of life. The activities of ten children are shown during the first five months. The second part of the film shows the comparison between the children raised in families and the foundling-home children at age levels between thirteen and fourteen months. While the family children continue to be raised in an atmosphere of happy emotional interchange by their parents, the institutionalized children were separated from their mothers around the age of five months. A comparison, age for age, between the behavior of the family children and that of the institutionalized children is shown. The ravages wrought by the emotional deprivation of the institutionalized children is vividly illustrated in their extreme bodily retardation, in their progressive mental deterioration, and in their lowered resistance to disease.
