Power struggles between parents and teens are nothing new-we're all familiar with the image of kids and parents locked in a battle for control-but what really drives these conflicts? According to the author, psychotherapist Neil Brown, these struggles occur because the family control dynamic is dysfunctional. Chock-full of easy-to-use evidence-based tools, this book will help parents and teens overcome chronic conflict and foster a peaceful and loving home environment.
