Suggestions for how to use the DVDs

Each DVD is approximately 60 minutes in length. However, it is relatively easy to show a 20-minute or 30-minute segment at a time, followed by an informal or directed discussion of practical applications to everyday living, led by a group leader. 

Following are examples of how these studio-recorded DVDs are being utilized around the world.

  • Chaplains at OSCI in Oregon and at penitentiaries in other locations show segments to inmates on a weekly basis followed by a 20-30-minute discussion group. The sessions have proved so popular that additional meetings have been scheduled.

 

  • Residents in retirement-center complexes show DVD segments to other residents followed by informal discussions.

 

  • High-school teachers and administrators show DVD segments during assembly periods, for special classes or group discussions, as extra-credit projects, and in PTA meetings followed by group discussion.

 

  • Clerical personnel from a variety of denominations utilize DVD segments as the basis for mid-week or other church-related meetings followed by a 20- to 30-minute directed discussion.

 

  • Local public-television stations show the DVDs on a weekly basis, rotating the topics periodically.

 

  • Organizations with in-house closed-circuit television play DVD segments for viewing by patients, clients, residents, or program participants.

 

  • Health Professionals play the DVDs in their office waiting room for viewing by patients, family members, et cetera.

 

  • Individuals or families and friends view the DVDs to help them hone their personal and professional growth, and can then “chat” about the topic.

 

NOTE: The Brain Program is now available on three DVDs. They are available through Amazon.com by the following titles:

  • Extraversion-Introversion
  • Sensory Preference
  • Your Unique Brain Lead
