Is it ""just a phase,"" or could your child be headed for serious trouble?

If you

sense that your child is seriously troubled, you may feel bewildered, helpless, ineffective.

How can you stop your child from throwing away his or her life? How can you avoid

thinking that you've failed as a parent? In this newly revised and expanded edition

of the classic guide Before It's Too Late, clinical psychologist Stanton E. Samenow

explains how to break the useless cycle of blame and take corrective action. Topics

include-
* How to understand the personality of the antisocial child
* How to tell

the difference between a ""phase"" and a pattern of misbehavior
* How to identify the

seven common manifestations of antisocial behavior
* How to cope more effectively

as the parent of an older antisocial child
* How to avoid the six common mistakes

that prevent parents from taking action
* How to step in-early and effectively-before

bad behavior becomes entrenched
