Barkley, Edwards, and Robin provide an extremely practical and practitioner-friendly guide for working with teens who are noncompliant and defiant toward their parents. Importantly, the intervention manu al synthesizes best practices that are developmentally sound and empirically based. Though not intended for 'deep-end' clinical cases and families, the guidelines presented in this manu al are highly applicable for clinicians working with families in private, public, and managed care settings."
-Scott W. Henggeler, PhD

This authoritative manu al presents an 18-step program designed both to teach parents the skills they need to manage difficult adolescent behavior and to improve family relationships overall. The first nine steps of the program modify the approach presented in Russell A. Barkley's Defiant Children, Second Edition , to focus on developmental concerns of
adolescence. The authors delineate clear procedures for assessing defiance in teens and working with parents, alone or in groups, to reverse problem behavior. Steps 10 through 18 are conducted with parents and teenagers together, utilizing a proven family therapy model developed by Arthur L. Robin and Sharon Foster. Clinicians are shown how to help all family members learn to
negotiate, communicate, and problem-solve more effectively, while facilitating adolescents' individuation and autonomy. The manu al's utility is greatly enhanced by ready-to-photocopy forms that enable clinicians to gauge the nature, diversity, and severity of parent adolescent conflicts; assess for oppositional defiant disorder (ODD); and evaluate parental psychological adjustment.
Also included are
reproducible handouts for families that reinforce crucial ideas and skills imparted in-session.
