Their book focuses on these developments and scientific findings through historical and theoretical information, research analysis, assessments, treatments, consultations and medical issues.<\/p>\n<p>A topic both are specifically interested in is the advancement of video self-modeling, which provides the individual with edited footage of adaptive behavior. \u201cVideo self-modeling is a very powerful intervention. Basically, what is done is editing the video to depict the desired exemplary behavior.\u00a0The self-modeling video is viewed by the individual on four to six sessions over a period of several weeks. This edited video using oneself as a model is very potent,\u201d\u00a0 Kehle says.<\/p>\n<p>Bray and Kehle have had considerable success in using this intervention to address a variety of dysfunctional behaviors, including selective mutism, stuttering, depression, autism spectrum disorders and classroom disruptive behaviors. They, along with their students, have also employed the technique to enhance free-throw and three-point shooting abilities by college basketball athletes.\u00a0 Kehle says current studies are investigating how the use of video self-modeling appears to be replacing maladaptive memories of behavior with adaptive memories.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Oxford Handbook of School Psychology\u00a0<\/em>is tailored to school psychologists, educators and parents, along with mental health counselors and practitioners.
