Defiance in the Family: Finding Hope in Therapy

by David V. Keith, Gary M. Connell, Linda C. Connell

Overview

Defiance in the Family follows the treatment of childhood and adolescent defiance through therapy, from intake to termination. The authors take a unique view of defiance as an expression of a child's worry for a family that is not working properly and as the child's means of protecting the inner self in the face of family turmoil.

Editorial Reviews

"The authors provide a refreshing perspective . . . This book can serve not only as a manual for this type of therapy, but, because it is easily readable, it can also be recommended to families undergoing this treatment." — Psychiatry
"Cutting edge, thought-provoking, yet highly practical...this volume is a must-read for clinicians working with families and adolescents snared in a web of alienation, anger and defiance." — William Bumberry, MD
