Contents:
Understanding the problem of child conduct disorders -- Introduction to child conduct disorders and overview of treatment approaches -- Parenting a child with conduct disorders: "families under siege" -- The process of assessing families of children with conduct disorders -- Helping families with children who have conduct disorders -- Working with parents who have children with conduct disorders: a collaborative process -- Helping parents understand behavioral methods and principles -- Parents undergoing therapy: an experience of gaining knowledge and control -- Parent intervention content: typical questions -- Epilogue: future directions.
Summary: Approximately two-thirds of all children referred to mental health agencies are labeled conduct-disordered. Typically such children exhibit antisocial behavior - lying, cheating, stealing, firesetting, fighting, oppositional behavior and noncompliance to parental requests - at abnormal rates. Troubled Families - Problem Children helps the mental-health clinician understand the most effective "therapeutic processes" for supporting families who have children with conduct disorders. Help for these families is particularly urgent as the children are not only at increased risk of abuse by their parents but are more likely to be involved in school dropout, alcoholism, drug abuse, juvenile delinquency, etc., and also to suffer from poor physical health.
