The Kazdin Method for Parenting the Defiant Child, by Alan Kazdin

A lifesaving handbook for parents of children who are occasionally, or too often, “out of control." Kazdin shatters decades’ worth of accumulated myths about tantrums, time-outs, punishments "fitting the crime," and much more. The program is temporary, but the results are permanent—for very young children, adolescents, and even beyond.
