Description
Traditionally, books on parent education have focused on techniques from a certain tradition, either behavioral or humanistic, that could
be applied to any problem of parenting or child behavior change. These books have used a "cook-book" approach that is frequently oblivious
to environmental conditions that influence behavior or take into account the individual differences of the children or families involved.
This book highlights the complexity of our society and times by exploring the problems faced by diverse types of parents, children, and
parenting situations. Moreover, the sensitive issues of parenting in unique populations are handled in a caring, straight-forward way
with an emphasis on research-based parent education programs along with tips and strategies for everyday use.
Audience
Applied clinicians, educators, educational psychologists and parents.
