Description

What do parents of conduct-disordered children experience in a typical day? How do they perceive their child's problem, and what do they think about it? How is their marital relationship affected? What impact does their child's behaviour have on their relationships with other parents and their adult friendships? Approximately two-thirds of all children referred to mental health agencies are labelled conduct disordered. By examining questions like these, this book helps mental health clinicians to understand the meaning of living with a child who has conduct disorders from the parents' perspective. The authors feel that the exploration of parents' feelings, experiences and perceptions will lead to a refining of assessment and treatment processes in order to successfully determine whether they will benefit from a particular treatment strategy. In addition, the authors describe what it is like for families with conduct-disordered children to undergo treatment.

Author Biography:

Carolyn Webster-Stratton is the author of Troubled Families-Problem Children: Working with Parents: A Collaborative Process, published by Wiley. Martin Herbert is Professor Emeritus at Exeter University. He was previously a lecturer and clinician at the Institute of Psychiatry in London. This was followed by the post of Director of the School of Social Work and Professor and Head of the School of Psychology and clinical training at Leicester University. He later joined the National Health Service full time and was in charge of the Mental Health Service for children in Plymouth. This post was succeeded by a move to Exeter, where he founded and directed the Doctoral Course in Clinical Psychology as Professor of Clinical and Community Psychology. He was appointed to the Consultant Clinical Psychology post in the Child and Adolescent Department at the Royal Devon and Exeter NHS Health Care Trust. For several years he was a Mental Health Act Commissioner. He now specialises in personal injury psycho-legal work and the evaluation of parent training courses, one of which - the Child Wise Behaviour Management Programme - he codesigned for use in Sure Start and NHS settings. He has published books and journal articles on the psychological problems of children, adolescents and adults.
