by Russell A. Barkley

Offering a clear picture of children who routinely demonstrate negative, hostile, and defiant behavior, this video featuring Dr. Barkley illuminates the nature and causes of oppositional defiant disorder (ODD). Real-life scenes of family interactions and interviews with parents help viewers learn: how to recognize ODD and distinguish it from milder forms of misbehavior, the effects of defiance on families – and on children themselves, and the relationship between ODD and ADHD. Because defiant behavior and its management are vital concerns in the school setting, these videos are recommended for inservice and preservice teacher training.
