Book Overview
Traditionally, when students have shown signs of problematic behavior, they have been removed from the conventional classroom environment and placed in special education classes, individual counseling, psychological testing, rehabilitation centers, and the like. Yet as dropout rates, drug addiction, and other problems continue to increase among our youth, it is clear that a more effective approach is needed. Drawing on a wealth of practical experience, J. Brien O'Callaghan shows that there is indeed a better way to help students overcome their problems

Parent and Teacher Empowerment that helps Children succeed
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I have worked with J. Brien O'Callaghan and seen him implement his model in the CT. School Systems. His step by step accountability based approach are very helpful and have helped many students succeed. This model works best with oppositionally defiant and conduct disordered children. Brien's model has become a standard assessment tool as a school psychologist and family therapy intern to help families try to re-balance the levels of "control" and "protection" in their families.
O'Callaghan's ideas borne out
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
O'Callaghan's book is well-written, well-informed, and persuasive. His structural approach has now been tried in several school based locations, including one recently featured in ACA's newsletter. This material is useful for school-based counselors, school teachers and administrators, and recipients of school referrals for counseling for troubled children.
