Troubled Families-Problem Children: Working with Parents: A Collaborative Process

Rating:
Summary: Excellent book outlining clinical process!
Review: This book offers an excellent review of the clinical process of working with troubled families. The first author has published numerous controlled studies demonstrating the effectiveness of this approach. The book offers detailed descriptions of what it is like to be a parent of a troubled child, and what it is like for such a parent to go through therapy unavailable anywhere else. It also includes a detailed description of the collaborative process needed to engage families. The group-based approach described in this book is ideal for families who have a child identified as ADHD, Oppositional or Conduct Disordered, as well as for abusive families, multi-problem families and families at risk.
