Handbook of Parent Training
Handbook of Parent Training, Second Edition offers a unique opportunity to learn about the latest empirical findings and clinical developments in parent training from more than 30 leading innovators in the field. Featuring all new chapters, this thoroughly revised and updated edition covers issues that have emerged in recent years as crucial to practitioners who work with children. Readers will find the latest information on such topics as primary prevention of conduct disorder; video techniques for oppositional-defiant disorder; reducing tantrums; preventing child abuse and neglect; parent training for divorced parents; overcoming children's homework problems; reducing parent-adolescent conflict; breakthroughs in training for special needs parents such as adolescent mothers, parents with mental handicaps, substance-abusing parents; and more.
Unlike other books on parent training, this Handbook takes a purely prescriptive approach. Each author begins by identifying a specific problem and then describes an approach to identifying, assessing, and treating the problem. In every instance, descriptions of therapeutic techniques are multimodal, integrating theory, research, implementation strategies, and extensive case material.
