Some helpful books related to challenging behavior in children and adults include:

• The Challenging Child Understanding, Raising, and Enjoying the Five "Difficult" Types of Children by Stanley I. Greenspan MD is a broad overview of five different types of children who can engage in challenging behavior. The book provides explanations as to why a child may behave in these ways. It gives practical, loving strategies for interacting in more effective ways. While aimed at parents, the pitioner may find that the information helps them work better with both adults and children who have different temperaments, sensitivities, and learning difficulties.
• The Explosive Child: A New Approach for Understanding and Parenting Easily Frustrated, Chronically Inflexible Children by Ross W. Greene, Ph. D. This book teaches a specific method for helping children (or adults) learn to self-manage their own behavior when faced with situations in which they typically respond with challenging behavior. This collaborative problem solving approach is a method of helping the person learn to think more flexibly about familiar situations that cause them to be frustrated. The approach is clearly described for parents or others in direct support roles. It applies to people with a variety of situations that may influence their ability to think flexibly and deal effectively with frustration (i.e., developmental disabilities, mental health, processing or spectrum disorders, etc.). www.thinkkid.org
• I Am Not Sick. I Do Not Need Help by Xavier Amador, Ph. D. provides a helpful overview of how to work with adults with serious mental illness who avoid medications and treatment. This book teaches a method of helping people learn to make good decisions and to avoid the typical push/pull dynamic of people with mental illness and their care-givers. Aimed at family members, Dr. Amador also uses these methods in his practice. They are helpful to practitioners for understanding why people avoid medication and treatment that could clearly help them and how to help people make better decisions based on their own perspectives.
• Challenging Behaviour in Dementia: A Person-Centred Approach by Graham Stokes offers Understanding socially disruptive behavior in dementia is never easy and is often managed with control and containment. This book’s approach to managing challenging behavior in dementia is to understand that behavior is meaningful and promotes a person-centered interpretation that focuses on people have needs to be met rather than problems to be managed.
