On the following pages I will be providing information on approaches that I feel have the potential to be of benefit to parents, other care providers, and professionals. The focus is providing help to individuals (children, adolescents, and adults) who exhibit violent, controlling, destructive behaviors.
The following sections are works in progress. I will be adding more information as I both review more research in a given area and also develop my ideas for that treatment approach.

Currently the approach I am recommending is based on: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Positive Behavior Support (PBS) utilizing Behavior Skills Training (BST), Direct Instruction (DI), Floortime - Developmental, Individual Differences, Relationship-Based Model (DIR), and Mindfulness.
