Kendall and Braswell have designed and developed specific procedures that can improve children's self-control and reduce their impulsivity. In this second edition, the authors both expand and focus the application of their program, involving parents and teachers to a greater extent, making greater use of hands-on workbook materials, and adapting and implementing procedures for children with a wide range of behavior problems linked to impulsivity. The present edition also provides, in greater detail, descriptions of treatment strategies, in?session therapy materials, case examples, and illustrative transcripts. This book will be of great value to child and family psychologists, social workers, educators, and psychiatrists, as well as parents, pediatricians, classroom teachers, and others who frequently encounter impulsive children. This book also serves as an excellent ancillary text for courses in clinical child psychology, school psychology, educational interventions, applied developmental psychology, and other mental health related classes.
