[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Funny. I just paid a behavioral therapist who wanted to talk through the Kazdin method and start from scratch on basic parenting. I went and just read the book and am frankly insulted that this is all that there is. It is not rocket science and does not answer specific questions I have about the intersection of ADHD and behavior. I’m surprised that this is basically all that is pushed for parents to follow, when this is a reasonable approach for any parents to use anyway. [/quote]

Working through it weekly with a clinician was invaluable. You can’t compare it to reading the books.[/quote]

+100. What Kazdin does is give a blueprint for how to implement skills that are actually hard to implement correctly - like correctly calibrating negative consequences. He also is quite good at discussing the positive consequences that work for different ages - like advised that teens need much more low-key praise and appreciation, but they still need it.

These books are practical methods that apply to a range of underlying diagnoses (or no diagnosis). If you want a more theoretical understanding of ADHD you’ll have to look elsewhere. And also, the whole point of behavioral methods is that you sort of experiment and look at the behavior right in front of you. [b]You don’t say “well I cannot do anything until I know the root cause”. You don’t necessarily need any diagnosis.[/b] [/quote]

And this is where Kazdin and Greene are opposites, because Greene's philosophy is you MUST know the cause before you can solve the real problem.[/quote]

Because Greene is a genius.[/quote]

Is he psychic?[/quote]
