Product Description
The first comprehensive presentation for clinicians of the groundbreaking approach popularized in Ross Greene's acclaimed parenting guide, The Explosive Child, this book provides a detailed framework for effective, individualized intervention with highly oppositional children and their families. Many vivid examples and Q&A sections show how to identify the specific cognitive factors that contribute to explosive and noncompliant behavior, remediate these factors, and teach children and their adult caregivers how to solve problems collaboratively. The book also describes challenges that may arise in implementing the model and provides clear and practical solutions. Two special chapters focus on intervention in schools and in therapeutic/restrictive facilities.

 excellent resource October 26, 2009
MD from NC (Winterville, NC United States)
This is an excellent resource for parents who are at their wit's end with their child that no one can seem to help them with....after working with a child therapist x 4 mo., I found this book to be much more helpful!

I found this book to be informative and useful. The format is easy to read. It's principles may be more difficult to apply.

This book was very "wordy". I did however get to see him speak and he was great! Just wish he spent A LOT more time on non-verbal children!
Incredible resource for practitioners... September 17, 2008

Wow! This is a wonderful book for helping practitioners explain a no-nonsense approach to working with parents and teachers for helping children with behavior problems. While there really is nothing new in this book--the proverbial old wine in new bottles--the new bottles are fantastic! I am a practitioner and I've quickly adopted the strategies outlined in this book in my parent training sessions and in my consultation with teachers to explain complex concepts. I highly recommend it for professionals with a background in behavior therapy. However, I would not recommend this to parents or teachers because there seems to be an assumption that the reader is a practitioner.
The only criticism I would offer (for practitioners) is that the concept of "lagging skills"--which is used to justify collaborative problem solving--is not adequately described or cited. It's tangentially related to the neuropsych literature, but it's not clear how. So I'm a little lost how to use this information and the reframe, but everything else in the book is worth its weight in gold.

This is a phenomenal book! It presents a refreshing perspective in the treament of children with emotional and behavioral disorders and challenges everything I've ever learned about working with these kids. It is full of rich details, examples and step-by-step instructions to walk you through the collaborative problem solving process. It is perfect for parents, educators, and clinical staff. It will definitely change my practice.
