title: Consulting with parents about children's misbehaviour.
abstract: This paper summarised a case of a consultant helping a couple to reduce aggressive behaviour in their nine-year-old son. Within a programme of positive reinforcement plus extinction, the parents made the critical decisions about methods and criteria. Comparisons and contrasts were made with another case in which parents were also used as mediators, but were less actively involved in decisions about treatment and outcomes.
