Most contemporary counseling techniques are based upon the tenets of Adlerian psychology. This book balances theory and practical application for easy use by counselors, therapists, and others who need to understand and communicate with young children.

Some concepts included are: active, passive, constructive, and destructive behavior patterns; the four goals of misbehavior; punishment vs. logical consequences; and personality/ life style development.

This review is from: A Primer on Adlerian Psychology (Paperback)

I discovered Adlerian Psychology by reading this book in college, long before I decided to have children. It shows that children are logical despite their immaturity, and you can discipline by proving to them that every action has a consequence. Just be consistent! My husband and I can't wait to use these techniques for our first child.
