"The transition from adolescence to adulthood can be tough as teens attempt to assert their independence, often leading to defiant, angry and oppositional behavior. Now in an updated second edition, this is a very welcome, current resource that helps parents guide their teens through difficult times. For many years, I have recommended the first edition of this book to parents and used the strategies in my work as a clinician. "Your Defiant Teen" has been--and will continue to be--the first book I recommend to parents struggling with challenging teens."--Sam Goldstein, PhD, Editor-in-Chief, "Journal of Attention Disorders" "The transition from adolescence to adulthood can be tough as teens attempt to assert their independence.

The book also offers ideas and resources for what to do when professional help is needed. Although written for parents, this book is also a valuable resource for anyone trying to help an acting-out adolescent think and behave differently. Clinicians will find it helpful in their work with families, and school practitioners and teachers will find valuable ideas for understanding and working with defiant teens."Torrey A.
