Editorial Reviews
Science Books and Films, May/June 1999
This volume is a thorough, well-written handbook with concrete advice....the book is written in clear and coherent language that is easy to follow. The authors do an excellent job of breaking down the steps and discussing each in detail. In addition, numerous examples make the general points even easier to follow....this volume is an excellent resource for counselors and therapists to share with families and for parents to read on their own
Review
"This is a superb and extremely helpful book. Readers negotiating the icy roads and blizzard-like conditions of raising a defiant child will find that this book shifts them into four-wheel drive. The advice in these pages not only makes the road less treacherous--it helps parents drive it with confidence, and helps the whole family arrive at their destination happier and wiser for the trip they took. Barkley draws upon a wealth of experience with real families, as well as a thorough command of the latest research and scientific findings, to create an easy-to-read, practical, immensely informative work." --Edward M. Hallowell, MD, coauthor of Answers to Distraction
"This book distills the wisdom of an approach that Dr. Barkley and others have been developing for more than 20 years. As a school psychologist, I have used this program since 1990 in a group setting with over 1,300 parents, the majority of whom found it beneficial. Finally, parents have a manual to help them implement the program at home. It is supportive, nonjudgmental, and filled with practical suggestions and true-to-life anecdotes. All parents who are concerned about their children's behavior should read this book." --Frederick L. Quici, NCSP, Alta Loma School District, Alta Loma, California
"This book provides step-by-step, practical help for parents of children who are difficult to manage. It affords new hope to families desiring a more peaceful and fulfilling life together. Invaluable for parents, teachers, and clinicians." --Sylvia B. Rimm, PhD, author of Dr. Sylvia Rimm's Smart Parenting, Director, Family Achievement Clinic, MetroHealth Medical Center, Cleveland, Ohio
