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. 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, and
noncompliance.
