[quote=Anonymous]I am one of the people who recommends Kazdin and also Shapiro’s classes, but I am not either of them.  I don’t think anything in them is radically different.  The approaches are both based on sound research. I also recommend Kenworthy’s Unstuck and On Target, I have seen all of these authors speak in person and have been impressed at the depth of their knowledge/ insight and also how committed they are to getting their approaches into the hands of parents.

One of the things that stands out to me about Kazdin’s method is the level of focus and enthusiasm you have to bring to it as a parent.  Have you watched the video clips of positive models? That was really helpful for my DH to bring it to life.  He thought throwing out an occasional gruff “good job” counted as positive reinforcement, and that just doesn’t cut it with our complex kids.

I also really like and use Ross Green’s work with the Explosive Child series.  I think one of the differences on this board is that the parents tend to be really well-read and also are more able to afford professional help who recommend these sources too.  I have lived in other areas of the country where the parents have less exposure to some of these resources from within their personal networks.[/quote]
