"In the first edition of Defiant Children, Russell A. Barkley presented a well-laid out description of a parent training program for dealing with defiant, oppositional children. In this revision, Barkley has retained the strengths of the original manu al and incorporated a number of improvements....Both practitioners and clinicians in training should find the second edition of Defiant Children to be a valuable and heavily used addition to their professional library."
-Robert J. McMahon, PhD, University of Washington

1. Understand their child's misbehavior
2. Motivate their child and increase compliance
3. Decrease disruptive behavior
4. Establish proper disciplinary systems without corporal punishment
5. Improve school behavior with a new home-based reward system
