| Publisher Description: In the 1980s, Dr. Kuttner spearheaded a pioneering pain management project for children undergoing painful medical procedures. She developed techniques of self-hypnosis, imaginary involvement, and distraction to help children, parents, as well as the medical staff cope with pain and anxiety. In the first DVD, "No Fears, No Tears" 8 courageous children with cancer, ages 3 to 12, demonstrate ways in which the natural abilities of the mind can be enlisted to help ease physical pain. In the follow-up film, No Fears, No Tears-13 Years Later, she revisits seven of the eight original children and their stories dramatically challenge prevailing myths about childhood pain, proving that children can learn to actively help themselves through even the most taxing medical treatment. These films have become a standard for training hospital staff in how to integrate parents into their child's treatment process. |
