Preface
The Handbook of Parent Training was first published in 1989. It was an im-
pressive compilation and review of some of the most relevant empirical re-
search and clinical applications of behavioral parent training available at
that time. Since then the field of parent training and intervention has
evolved significantly as evidenced by the offerings in the Second Edition
of the Handbook,published in 1998. This educational and instructional for-
mat for parents continues to demonstrate positive results using parents as
strategic agents of constructive change for their children’s disruptive and
dysfunctional behaviors. In this format, the therapist/practitioner coaches
and instructs parents in new parenting skills and ways of relating to their
children, ways that reduce conflict and enhance the likelihood of recipro-
cal respect, acceptance, and contentment within the family.
The Third Edition of the Handbookcontinues the journey and gives even
further proof of the value of this innovative and highly successful inter-
vention strategy. With time and experience, parent training approaches
have become immensely diversified and applicable to an array of problem-
atic situations. Not only does this format reduce problems and conflicts
within the parent-child relationship it also fosters self-efficacy in the chil-
dren and a sense of competence in the parents. Children, even those with
problems, learn that they are capable of self-control and self-management.
Similarly, parents, even those who have experienced persistent struggles
to gain a sense of integrity and mastery within their respective families,
learn that they can develop healthy and effective child management skills.
Furthermore, there is unquestionable evidence that these newly acquired
skills, in the parents and the children, can be generalized to a myriad of
different situations and circumstances. These skills can be beneficially ap-
plied in the home, at play, in the school, and in relating with peers and
adults. These skills are grounded in the behavioral principles of operant
conditioning and in social learning theory. They address and modify be-
haviors; enhance social and interpersonal relationships; and encourage
self-growth, self-control, and self-esteem.
The Third Edition continues to clarify, assess, and resolve difficulties
experienced by children, adolescents, and their parents. In addition, the
