Non-Violent Resistance by Haim Omer
Non-violent resistance (NVR) is an approach for parents and other caregivers that helps to increase presence and overcome impulsive and dangerous behaviors, while reducing conflict and escalation. The practical, evidence-based advice accompanies a detailed list of all the new applications of NVR and an overview of the supporting literature. A step-by-step presentation of the treatment is laid out alongside a useful model on escalation and its prevention. The approach achieves high parent engagement and cooperation, with over twenty controlled studies showing that NVR effectively reduces parental helplessness, parental impulsiveness, parent-child conflicts, and family discord.
'This timely second edition of Haim Omer's seminal book presents the accessible and superbly thoughtful methodIt shows not only the underlying principles and core methodology of the approach, but also its new directions and applications. It is essential reading for any professional working with children, young people, and families.' Peter Jakob, Consultant Clinical Psychologist and Systemic Family Therapist Director, PartnershipProjects UK Ltd
