Handbook of Behavioral Parent Training

"This comprehensive resource gives providers the information they need to understand, implement, and utilize behavioral parent training across a variety of settings. The breadth of material is impressive, including chapters on both internalizing and externalizing disorders, and the broad focus on the similarities among behavioral parent training (BPT) programs—rather than their differences—makes this text applicable to diverse populations and contexts." - Regine Galanti, PhD, Director, Long Island Behavioral Psychology, Cedarhurst, NY, and author of Parenting Anxious Kids

"The Handbook of Behavioral Parent Training is an excellent comprehensive guide for anyone seeking to incorporate behavioral parent training into their practice and training. Experts in the field have created a resource, grounded in decades of empirical research, to provide theoretical and practical strategies for implementing behavioral parent training in current and future practice. Incorporating evidence-based practices for clinical use, assessment, and training, this book should have a place on the bookshelves of clinicians, supervisors, and trainees alike." - Heather Ciesielski, PhD, Clinical Associate Professor, Department of Psychological Sciences, Purdue University, and Director, Purdue Psychology Treatment and Research Clinics, West Lafayette, IN

"This handbook is a fantastic resource for clinicians, researchers, and other parenting professionals interested in promoting the well-being of young children through evidence-based BPT programs. The handbook addresses the history of these programs, their theoretical underpinnings, and their structure, implementation, evaluation, and dissemination. The volume details how BPT programs have been modified for various populations and how they have moved beyond their initial focus on reducing child conduct problems. It explores ways that new digital technologies can be used to increase program reach, engagement, and effectiveness. A strength is the inclusion of numerous chapters on the most popular and well-validated BPT programs written by the program developers. The handbook provides a state-of-the-art review of BPT programs that will be of interest to a wide range of audiences including clinicians, prevention specialists, researchers, educators, and graduate students in psychology and family studies." - Thomas G.
