Assisted Living: Needs, Practices, and Policies in Residential Care for the Elderly

Description

The first comprehensive presentation for clinicians of the groundbreaking approach popularized in Ross Greene’s acclaimed parenting guide,The Explosive Child, this book provides a detailed framework for effective, individualized intervention with highly oppositional children and their families. Many vivid examples and Q&A sections show how to identify the specific cognitive factors that contribute to explosive and noncompliant behavior, remediate these factors, and teach children and their adult caregivers how to solve problems collaboratively. The book also describes challenges that may arise in implementing the model and provides clear and practical solutions. Two special chapters focus on intervention in schools and in therapeutic/restrictive facilities.
