This is a much-needed book on a topic of critical importance: treating the destructive and oppositional child and adolescent. If the events of the past few years have taught us anything at all, it is that we need to revisit our conceptions of childhood and adolescence. We need to understand what it is that goes wrong with such children and how we can help them. Dr. Bustamante offers a fresh and comprehensive view of assessment and intervention with this population. His clinical examples are both helpful and enlightening. I strongly recommend this wonderful book. -- Robert Mendelsohn, Adelphi University This book about ODD adolescents provides valuable and original insights into the world of the oppositional teenager. The creative interventions will be extremely useful to seasoned clinicians as well as to newer members of the mental health field. -- Edward M. Hallowell, M.D., author of Driven to Distraction
