Note on Titles

There are two DVDs associated with this tape. The first DVD shares the same title as the videocassette. The second DVD has a different title: "Can Money Buy Happiness? The Case of Affluenza in the U.S." The speaker is still listed as being Jeff DeGraff. The video files on both DVD copies of the Convocation presentation are the same. It is possible that the presentation had multiple titles, or that an initial title was changed at a later date. Unfortunately it is not currently possible to determine what happened based on the limited information available.
