Book Overview

Are special therapy techniques available for treating problem children? If so, what are the most effective forms of therapy? Applied in focus and written by practitioners who have worked with problem children for three decades, this practical volume offers an integrated approach to the treatment of problem children. Beginning with a clear introduction outlining concepts of treatment, issues of practice, and resources for treatment, the authors continue by presenting an encyclopedic survey of methods of treatment from medication through behavior modification and social skills training to talking and group therapy approaches. Finally, a unique manual for daily use is provided to assist the practitioner in identifying the aims, methods, and techniques of treatment for a wide range of conditions including psychological difficulties, anti-social behavior, and improving social skills. Treating Problem Children is an indispensable guide for psychologists, social workers, mental health professionals, teachers, probation officers, nurses and indeed anyone who deals with problem children.
