Title: Sound and to the point
Review: A seal on the cover of this book advertises, "Parents or Professionals: Step by Step Help for the Discipline Resistant Child." A fairly good description of the contents. The book was written by a therapist with experience in residential treatment programs. Its language and presentation make it accessible to the "lay person," though I think the book is more geared for professionals. The emphasis is on strategies for handling youngsters who are angry and defiant, though there is also information on self-care as a part of coping. There is also a short section on ADHD and an appendix on suicide. The advice in this book is not earthshaking, but I found it to be practical and realistic. I read it from the perspective of being a foster parent and found it helpful in that regard.
