Managing the
Defiant Child : A Guide to Parent Training
Russell A. Barkley
Childhood defiance--the most common complaint of parents
seeking professional help for their children--exerts a tremendous amount of wear-and-tear on
families. This information-packed video brings to life a proven approach to behavior
management, and shows clinicians, school practitioners, parents, students, and teachers how
enhanced parenting skills can dramatically improve the parent-child relationship.
Viewers see vignettes from actual parent training sessions, and hear group leader Dr. Gwen
Edwards discuss concepts of child management; outline principles of managing defiant behavior;
and review progress with group participants. Informative commentary from Dr. Barkley provides
a clear picture of why interactions with children are a "two-way street," effective
incentive systems for motivating children, and the crucial role of parent training
