The book is basically written for all ages. Dr. Greene also has another book called "Treating Explosive Kids the collaborative problem solving approach" which is more of the same but supposedly geared towards the clinician. At least thats what difficult child's clinician at the hospital told me and he also told me it might be too in depth for me. Of course that made me go right out and buy the book. I thought it was a pretty easy read and a lot of the scenerios used involves teens. We try using it with my difficult child but it doesn't work too well with her. Can't get to the first step without her losing her temper...I keep hoping that we can get her to be able benefit from it because it would be great if she could become even a tad more flexible.

Sandman, while you're waiting have a look at the discussion on this book in Early Childhood.
And I endorse the statement that this method works for all ages - I consider our education system to be autistic (perseverative, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), poor social skills, difficulty in communicating effectively, a need for sameness, problems task changing), and I use the same techniques when dealing with officials. It works!
