and global overview of evidence-based parenting education (PEd)
programs. Readers are introduced to the best practices for
designing, implementing, and evaluating effective PEd programs in
order to teach clients how to be effective parents. Noted
contributors from various disciplines examine evidence -based
programs from the U.S., Canada, Europe, Asia, Australia, as well as
web-based alternatives. The best practices used in a number of
