Parent Training Today: A Social Necessity

Many of America's most pressing & depressing problems can be traced back to breakdowns in the family & in child-parent relationships. This new book, PARENT TRAINING TODAY, clarifies the role that contemporary parent training programs play in solving these problems. Child abuse, drug abuse, juvenile delinquency, crime & urban unrest all have their roots in the disintegration of the family unit. Authored by noted clinical psychologist & nationally recognized authority on parent training, Dr. Kerby T. Alvy, PARENT TRAINING TODAY spells out how effective parent training programs can be in stemming these social evils. PARENT TRAINING TODAY also offers guidelines for how various segments of our society - the media, churches, schools, business & government - can work together to provide parents with the kinds of training that are necessary for survival & achievement in the 1990s & beyond. It is a call to action, a plan for comprehensive action, & the most authoritative book ever written on parent training. PARENT TRAINING TODAY includes a Profile of Effective Contemporary Parenting; descriptions of modern parent training programs; the benefits of parent training for parents, children & entire communities; & a Blueprint for a Safer & Better America.
