Oppositional, Uncooperative And Aggressive Behavior (Taylor - Online)

Course overview

This workshop provides a wealth of specific techniques you can implement immediately, from a master psychotherapist who has developed many of these powerful strategies in his clinical practice of over thirty years specializing in at-risk children and youth. The principles and methods cut across diagnostic lines and apply universally to a wide range of deviant acting-out over a broad age range, from early childhood to young adult. Using these techniques, you may be able to accomplish quickly what can often be missed in months of regular talking therapies, counseling or behavior modification reward systems. The participants will obtain an entire tool kit of usable interventions. Discipline attempts that merely seek compliance from externally applied incentives, rewards, time-outs and punishments don?t address the underlying motivations. The real solution for children with defiant issues and special needs is to meet in a pro-social way the unmet needs triggering the misbehavior. This workshop shows you not only how to identify and therapeutically meet underlying needs, but also how to prevent further acting-out. Effectively resolve attention-seeking, lying, defensiveness, defiance and sneakiness by first detecting the hidden needs and motivations. Avoid ?ignore-nag-yell-punish? cycles and senseless power struggles. Learn powerful answers for hostility and aggressiveness, and introduce pro-social adaptive behaviors convincingly to help develop conscience.
