Price: Trade Paperback $14.95 plus s/h
Category: Self Help

Description: Dr. Zirpoli believes that we have made the whole issue of children and their behavior too complicated and too medical. Despite the lack of scientific evidence that misbehavior is the result of a medical, chemical or any other biological variable, billions of dollars are spent to treat misbehavior as if it were a medical issue. He calls this the medicalization of misbehavior. Tom says, "What we really need to do is get back to basics. We know why children behave the way they do—we have years of research telling us what children need to be successful and why they fail. But instead of looking at the research, we look for quick fixes, and we blame the victim instead of looking at our own behavior as parents."
