But when a child's defiance is chronic and disruptive of family life, he or she may have Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). In this clear and accessible DVD program, leading authority Russell A. Barkley illuminates the nature of ODD and presents real-life scenes of family interactions and commentary from parents. Viewers gain state-of-the-science information about:

*How to distinguish ODD from milder forms of misbehavior

*The relationship between ODD and ADHD

*What can be done to help children and families

Recenzje

Russell Barkley's new videotapes on children with Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) are a major step forward in the treatment of this difficult disability. They provide a basic understanding of ODD and proven interventions for its management. The information is practical, research validated, and very useful for clinicians, educators, and parents. A 'must' for anyone providing services to noncompliant, argumentative, and aggressive children.--William R. Jenson, PhD, Professor and Chair, Department of Educational Psychology, University of Utah; Author of the Tough Kid Book

-Parents will find it easy to identify with the experiences of the subjects in the video....Would be a worthwhile addition to the video library of any clinic or clinician working regularly with parent groups in child management training. Individual clinicians will find the video a helpful means of imparting good quality information to parents.--Canadian Child Psychiatry Review, 10/24/2006ƒƒOf interest to both parents and educators.--Booklist, 10/24/2006
