| Summary: | "Responsive Parent Therapy assumes that the socialization of aggressive children requires sustained participation in a particular kind of parent-child relationship - one characterized by emotional acceptance, behavioral containment, and prosocial guidance and modeling. The chief task for practitioners is to help parents find the combination of acceptance, containment, and prosocial guidance that is most realistic given the parent, the child, and the social context for child rearing. This book outlines the strategies for doing that kind of therapeutic work. Parenting domains that serve important support functions - parenting goals, family structure, and parental self-care - are also addressed. Equipped with this comprehensive model of parent therapy, practitioners can better respond to the challenges inherent in assisting struggling parents and their aggressive children."--Jacket. |
