Excellent resource for parents or professionals

I am a clinical psychologist who works with families and children. This is an excellent book for parents and professionals. The techniques are well grounded in research and sound developmental theory, but are also explained clearly and without lots of jargon. Excellent examples are used to illustrate points and techniques.

It is written by a professional with many years of experience, yet it is easy to read, even for the lay person. The excellent professional reviews are correct, this book is essential to an understanding of this subject and will be...
