Reviews

This is an excellent book for any clinician who is working in an intensive treatment setting for children with behavioural difficulties. -- The Canadian Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Review <br> This is an excellent book, clear, concise and extraordinarily detailed. It is meant to be a training text carefully outlining a training program, a valuable asset to any graduate level course in child behavior management. Any clinician seeking increased familiarity with behavioral interventions or with a specific interest in working with children would benefit significantly from reading this book. It is exemplary in its provision of sample material including assessment, education and outcome. The authors' goals have, indeed, been very well met....This book reflects true value. -- Child & Family Behavior Therapy <br> With their combined experience and knowledge, Forehand and McMahon have enriched this new edition with extensive research on parent training best practice....the authors include all of the parent handouts and worksheets for use in actual practice....The information on noncompliance, child development, ways of communicating with (and within) families and assessment, is extremely relevant to anyone working with parents and children. -- Child & Family <br> The manual includes strategies for a range of ages and is excellent for anyone in the field who is having difficulty helping parents set rules that are followed. -- Youth Today <br>


This exceptional second edition by two of the leading experts in the field provides both clinicians and researchers with a rich array of information. Like its predecessor, this book is solidly grounded in the scientific research on childhood oppositional behavior and parent/family training approaches. Practitioners will find a wealth of detailed advice on how to work with parents on improving relations with their children while reducing family conflict. Clinical scientists will likewise appreciate the vast amount of research summarized on the nature of defiant and aggressive behavior, the role of parent-child interactions and family context in its generation and maintenance, and the efficacy of parent training in behavior management skills for its reduction if not elimination. Anyone interested in empirically based parent training for the management of difficult children will find this book 'must' reading for staying abreast of the state of the art. --Russell A. Barkley, PhD, College
