Reviews
""Terjesen and colleagues have produced the essential guide for comprehensively training and supervising mental health professionals in the provision of behavioral parent training (BPT). This book is unique in providing a graduated set of deliberate practice exercises that support trainees and supervisees in translating parent training knowledge into implementation of skills that serve as the foundation for effective delivery of established BPT programs. The ""learning by doing"" exercises cogently described in this book have been rigorously evaluated by multiple BPT trainers across more than a dozen countries. I strongly recommend the use of this text for training mental health professionals working with families who could benefit from BPT."" - George J. DuPaul, PhD, Lehigh University, Bethlehem, PA ""The only book I've seen that teaches you how to become an expert in delivering parent training. Incredibly useful whether you are a beginner or a seasoned pro. You will get better after reading this expertly written book."" - Camilo Ortiz, PhD, ABPP, Long Island University-Post Campus, Brookville, NY
