The volume looks back to the revolutionary People"s Republic of
China between 1949 and 1976 from an explicitly historical
perspective, using historical materials such as memoirs and
archives. While there was a great deal published on the
revolutionary period by political scientists when these events were
contemporaneous or near contemporaneous, there is little in the
field that both takes advantage of the temporal distance and
perspective that we now have in combination with the range of
primary materials that have come available in the last ten to
fifteen years. The volume contains essays on a variety of
particular subjects on the revolutionary People"s Republic of
China, and, unlike most of the other work on the period that has
either come out recently or is in press, gives some coverage to the
entirety of the period.
This book provides a comprehensive outline of the major parent
training programs for parents of children with intellectual or
developmental disabilities (IDD), including Autism Spectrum
Disorder. Parents or primary caregivers spend the most time with a
child, and training them in behaviour management and intervention
strategies is critical to improving a child's behaviour, to helping
them to learn new skills, and to reduce parental stress. Authored
by eminent specialists in the field and written for researchers and
clinicians supporting or treating families, each chapter focuses on
one of the key evidence-based parent training programs - from
Incredible Years (R) and Positive Family Intervention through to
Pivotal Response Treatment and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
Each chapter provides a breakdown that features an introduction to
the model, evidence for the model, a full description of the model,
a discussion of implementation and dissemination efforts, and
concluding comments. Grounded in research, this definitive overview
provides the evidence and guidance required for anyone considering
investing in or running a parenting program.
