All mental health providers working with young children need to read this book!;Daniel M. Bagner, PhD, ABPP, Professor of Psychology and Director of Clinical Training, Florida International University, Miami, FL, USA; Many parents, and some healthcare professionals, report using "time-out" in child discipline. The technique is often misunderstood and misapplied. In this volume the authors document the evidence-base showing how this well-established technique can be used properly and be implemented most effectively and efficiently. They describe the theoretical concepts and the foundational research into time-out protocols with a full range of presenting behavioral problems. They ably consider the controversies and issues raised about time-out procedures and then present applications with different populations. With this comprehensive yet succinct book, practitioners and clinical trainees will have a better understanding of this ubiquitous strategy and provide caregivers with practical and effective guidance on its optimal use.;Michael C.
