Working With Troubled Children
James Kauffman and Frederick Brigham
The lives of young people with behavioural problems tend to be among the least satisfying. Their families are likely to suffer, their teachers are often disappointed, and their peers constantly wonder what’s the matter with them.
Believing in the power of early intervention and prevention of behavior problems, the author shows us how to recognise trouble and deal with it before it’s too late. In his words, “We see that there were signs of trouble brewing yet no one took them seriously.”
This book takes behaviour problems seriously, addressing their many causes, the dilemma of early identification, and proven effective strategies for effective intervention.
