Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
A lifesaving handbook for parents of children who are occasionally, or too often, "out of control" Includes a bound-in twenty-minute DVD featuring Dr. Kazdin and his staff illustrating key concepts of the Kazdin Method Most child-behavior books are filled with advice that sounds reasonable, fits with what parents already believe about child-rearing, and is--as Dr. Kazdin proves-- guaranteed to fail. The Kazdin Method for Parenting the Defiant Child makes available to parents for the first time Dr. Kazdin's proven program--one backed up by some of the most long-term and respected research devoted to any therapy for children.
