NONVIOLENT RESISTANCE: A NEW APPROACH TO VIOLENT AND SELF-DESTRUCTIVE CHILDREN

"This book begins with an examination of Gandhi's "nonviolent" resistance and its application to the family context. A model of escalation processes between parents and children is presented, as well as ways for overcoming escalation. The book includes a step-by-step instruction manual for parents. Special topics include: dealing with violence against siblings, dealing with children who take control of the house, building alliances between parents and teachers, and community uses of the approach."--BOOK JACKET.
