Defiant Children, Second Edition: A Clinician's Manual for Assessment and Parent Training


Add your own review!

Overview

Updated and expanded, this text features an introduction and thorough clinical guide to Barkley's 10-session parent training programme, an extensive assessment section, and helpful parent and teacher handouts. This revised volume incorporates DSM-IV diagnostic criteria and offers more guidelines for assessing children with defiant behaviour, including a detailed parent interview that goes through each of the relevant childhood disorders. In addition, it provides two scales for assessing parents who may also have ADHD or oppositional defiant behaviour. Practioners who purchase this book, now have permission to reproduce the parent and teacher handouts for clinical use. For the first edition, these handouts were not reproducible and were only available separately. It should be of value to mental health practioners working with children, in clinical and educational settings.

Reviews

In the first edition of Defiant Children, Russell A. Barkley presented a well-laid out description of a parent training program for dealing with defiant, oppositional children. In this revision, Barkley has retained the strengths of the original manual and incorporated a number of improvements. These include an updated review of the empirical literature concerning the development of oppositional behavior in children and the efficacy of parent training interventions with this population, and the addition of a new session on daily school-home report cards. Especially noteworthy is the inclusion of an updated and expanded set of assessment instruments and a detailed pamphlet for parents on how to prepare for their child's evaluation. Both practitioners and clinicians in training should find the second edition of Defiant Children to be a valuable and heavily used addition to their professional library. --Robert J. McMahon, Ph.D., University of Washington <br> This updated versionu
