Understanding the Defiant Child

In this clear and accessible resource for clinicians and school practitioners, parents, students of child behavior, and teachers, Dr. Barkley illuminates the nature of Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), its causes, why it should be dealt with early, and what can be done. Dr. Barkley provides a vivid picture of what we know about ODD and presents real-life scenes of family interactions and commentary from parents. Viewers learn how to distinguish ODD from milder forms of misbehavior, long-term outcomes for defiant children, the relationship between ODD and ADHD, and why parent training can help.
