DescriptionA groundbreaking approach to understanding and parenting children who frequently exhibit severe fits of temper and other intractable behaviors, from a distinguished clinician and pioneer in this field. What's an explosive child? A child who responds to routine problems with extreme frustration--crying, screaming, swearing, kicking, hitting, biting, spitting, destroying property, and worse. A child whose frequent, severe outbursts leave his or her parents feeling frustrated, scared, worried, and desperate for help. Most of these parents have tried everything-reasoning, explaining, punishing, sticker charts, therapy, medication--but to no avail. They can't figure out why their child acts the way he or she does; they wonder why the strategies that work for other kids don't work for theirs; and they don't know what to do instead. Author descriptionRoss W. Greene, Ph.D., specializes in the treatment of opposition-defiant children and adolescents. He is on the faculty at Harvard Medical School, and the principal investigator on a federally-funded longitudinal study of ADHD. In addition, Dr. Greene is on the editorial boards of several psychology journals and lectures extensively. He lives in Massachusetts. |
