A guide to the latest tools for teaching effective and positive
parenting skills
In the last three decades, parent training has established itself
as an empirically sound, highly successful, and cost-effective
intervention strategy for both pre-venting and treating behavior
disorders in children.
Handbook of Parent Training, Third Edition offers a unique
opportunity to learn about the latest research findings and
clinical developments in parent training from leading innovators in
the field. Featuring new chapters, this thoroughly revised and
updated edition covers issues that have emerged in recent
years.
Readers will find the latest information on such topics as:
* Behavioral family intervention for childhood anxiety
* Working with parents of aggressive school-age children
* Preventive parent training techniques that support low-income,
ethnic minority parents of preschoolers
* Treating autism and Asperger’s Syndrome
* Parenting and learning tools including role playing and modeling
positive and effective parenting styles
Offering practical advice and guidance for parent training, each
chapter author begins by identifying a specific problem and then
describes the best approach to identifying, assessing, and treating
the problem. In every instance, descriptions of therapeutic
techniques are multimodal and integrate theory, research,
implementation strategies, and extensive case material.
Handbook of Parent Training, Third Edition is a valuable
professional resource for child psychologists, school
psychologists, and all mental health professionals with an interest
in parent skills training.
