      abstract = {Clinicians often have difficulty helping the parents of  youth with emotional and behavioral difficulties and fail  to recognize that often it is the youths cognitive and  learning weaknesses that drive their maladaptive behaviors.  This book aims to help clinicians further understand the  roots of youths maladaptive behaviors. It also addresses  the impact of youths varied cognitive abilities on their  behaviors and problems with self-esteem, particularly in  youth that do not meet the diagnostic criteria for a formal  learning disability. While many clinicians view learning  deficits as impairments in specific academic skills, these  deficits go beyond varied learning abilities and often  experience difficulties in emotional, social, and  behavioral functioning. These impairments vary from child  to child and it is crucial to develop practical  interventions for improved self-esteem and emotional  success. Varied learning abilities reflect a  neurodevelopmental problem in youth that can lead to  difficulties with their emotional, social, and academic  functioning and limit their intellectual potential. There  are often treatment impasses when a youths behavioral  problems do not improve with traditional forms of  psychotherapy and medication. The practical individualized  interventions recommended in this book will: 1) decrease  conflict in day-to-day interactions between youth and  parents, 2) improve self-esteem and 3) help to achieve  realistic social, emotional and academic goals. The text  will help clinicians determine which maladaptive behaviors  are a result of cognitive deficits and not symptoms of a  disease-based mental disorder. Written by experts in the  field, Promoting the Emotional and Behavioral Success of  Youths reviews appropriate interventions in the context of  the public health strategies that address the prevention of  secondary socio-economic aspects as a result of cognitive  weaknesses, such as realistic educational needs, career and  employment choices. Clinicians will be able to use this  book to develop best fit multimodal interventions to help  parents of youth develop adaptive behaviors.},
