Synopsis

Poor behavior is considered the result of poor skills. This book shows, step-by-step, how things improve when skills improve. But Dr. Sutton takes it one step further in suggesting a new concept: Desperate Behavior. "Young people caught in desperate behavior act badly out of fear and panic," he suggests. "Intervention with them must be different, as traditional measures just don't work over time." He then shares many interventions that do work, all of them relationship-based.Perhaps the most significant contribution of "The Changing Behavior Book" is the perspective that no one can change another person's behavior until they first change their own. It's a poignant thought, and it impacts all intervention powerfully. In the words of fellow psychologist and author, Dr. Jeffrey Bernstein, "This book will change countless lives for the better."
