Editorial Review:

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.

Go see him speak!:

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...:

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.

I highly recommend it for professionals with... more info

Refreshing perspective:

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.

Wonderful book for those working with difficult children:

In this book I finally found an explanation for the frustrating behaviors of my child. Reading it changed the dynamics of our family and greatly improved our functioning. Many of the books on these children, including Dr. Greene's Explosive Child, provide descriptions of difficult behaviors and suggestions as to how to address these behaviors, but none provided a detailed explanation of what is happening for the child and how that creates these behaviors. This book is a must read for all parents, teachers,... more info
