Review

'Greene and Ablon have done it again. This book illustrates their clinical acumen, conceptual sophistication, and scientific rigor - all at the same time! This is an uncommonly useful book for students and for therapists at all levels of experience. The authors' collaborative problem-solving approach takes into consideration the delicate dance between poorly regulated children and their frustrated and sometimes poorly equipped parents. These children and their families require special interventions, and this innovative book goes a long way to helping us in our clinical practice, teaching, and research.' - Thomas H. Ollendick, PhD, Child Study Center and Department of Psychology, Virginia Tech

'Provocative, conceptually grounded, and clinically wise. The CPS approach looks at a range of common, vexing parent–child problems and applies sound individual and family strategies, innovatively framed in the context of children's deficits in executive functions, communication, and emotion regulation. Loaded with case examples, this is essential reading for all those who work with 'externalizing' children.' - Stephen P. Hinshaw, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of California, Berkeley
