Main description:

This second edition of Working With Parents of Aggressive Children features new scholarship in children's emotion socialization and childhood aggression, and offers parenting interventions developed through the lens of equity, diversity, and inclusion.

The authors recommend a holistic, process-oriented approach to support parents of aggressive children of varying ages. They offer examples that accurately reflect the range of diversity that exists among parents and families, and examine the opportunities and challenges that can arise when working with families from diverse backgrounds.

Rather than one-size-fits-all, this book champions an approach to working with parents that is based on robust principles and fitted to an understanding of the unique needs of each family.

Includes discussions on setting reasonable expectations and goals that are attainable through therapy, promoting parent self-care, and promoting family structure.

This comprehensive guide is a meaningful and invaluable resource for any mental health professionals that work with parents of aggressive children.
