Parents are the most important people in their children's lives. Yet their potential as agents of behavioral change has barely been tapped. A growing body of evidence supports the cost-effective contention that parents can be trained to participate in resolving their children's behavior problems by applying individualized techniques based on learning principles. Behavioral counseling is the name of the process that takes up the popular "minimax" challenge–to bring about maximal change with a minimal expenditure of professional energies. Drs. Schaefer and Eisen, experienced proponents of the process, have selected practical articles from the professional literature to help therapists help parents cope with common problems such as: nightmares, separation anxiety, disruptive behaviors, habit disorders (thumbsucking, bedwetting), dawdling, sibling rivalry, noncompliance. Behavioral counseling–short-term, squarely focused, empirically sound–is becoming the ally of choice in every mental health professional's race to make substantial gains before the client's insurance runs out. Helping Parents Solve Their Children's Behavior Problems is the comprehensive resource that will make the co-therapeutic partnership work.

Reviews for Helping Parents Solve Their Children's Behavior Problems
Schaefer and Eisen offer a comprehensive perspective on parent-child therapy and provide us with appropriate developmental interventions, completing the circle ninety years after Freud's treatment of Little Hans through his father. This is an extremely valuable resource for mental health professionals who want to empower parents—so often disenfranchised by well-intentioned child care systems—in the healing process.
Kirkland C. Vaughans, Ph.D., editor, Journal of Infant, Child, and Adolescent Psychotherapy; regional director, New Hope Guild Centers The use of parents as change agents for their children's behavior is an idea whose time has come: it's both effective and efficient. Helping Parents Solve Their Children's Behavior Problems is an immensely rich source of tested and practical treatment methods for use by clinicians and educators addressing significant child problems with diminishing resources. The abundant case material, detailed descriptions of techniques for applying behavior counseling to a very wide range of common challenges, and outcome information make this a valuable guide for anyone working with children and families.
