Defiant Teens: A Clinician's Manual for Assessment and Family Intervention

Defiant Teens presents an 18-step program designed both to teach parents the skills they need to manage difficult adolescent behavior and to improve family relationships overall. The authors delineate procedures for assessing defiance in teens and working with parents to reverse the problem behavior.

The manual provides reproducible forms that enable clinicians to gage the nature, diversity, and severity of parent-adolescent conflicts; assess for oppositional defiant disorder; and evaluate parental psychological adjustment. Also included are reproducible handouts for families that reinforce crucial ideas and skills.
