Winning Cooperation from Your Child!: A Comprehensive Method to Stop Defiant and Aggressive Behavior in Children (Developments in Clinical Psychiatry)
This book beautifully applies the theory and practice of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) to the parenting of difficult children. It does so clearly and soundly and is short in length but long on great advice to parents. (Albert Ellis, Ph.D, President, Institute for Rational-Emotive Therapy )This is an extremely readable, engaging, and informed book. (Alan E. Kazdin, Ph.D., Yale University )This book succinctly communicates crucial information for parents of disruptive children. Despite its brevity, it focuses not just on behaviors, but also on thought patterns; not just on children's compliance, but also on their skills in dealing with the world; not just on reward and punishment, but also on modeling and other methods of influence; and not just on what parents should do, but also on how they can overcome the barriers to doing these things. This book will help both parents and clinicians who wish to prevail over the behavior problems that pervade our society. If all parents could incorporate these suggestions into their behavior, the world would be a vastly better place.
