Problem Behavior

Thomas J. Dishion and Kate Kavanagh
|
 |
This eagerly awaited book presents a
multi-level intervention and prevention program for at-risk
adolescents and their families. Grounded in over 15 years of
important clinical and developmental research, the
Adolescent Transitions Program (ATP) has been nationally
recognized as a best practice for strengthening families and
reducing adolescent substance use and antisocial behavior.
The major focus is to support parents' skills and motivation
to reduce adolescent problem behavior and promote success.
Spelling out the why, what, and how of this proactive,
culturally informed intervention, the volume provides a
solid scientific framework and all of the materials needed
to implement the program in school or community settings.
Included are illustrative case examples and an appendix
featuring reproducible handouts and forms.
