Kids Who Outwit Adults

Foreword by Matt Damon The strengths-based interventions described in this groundbreaking book have benefited thousands of kids in trouble, including Dr. Seita himself, who was treated by Dr. Brendtro in 1967 after being abandoned and abused as an adolescent. Today they work together, training hundreds of youth workers each year in their cutting edge techniques. In Kids Who Outwit Adults, Seita and Brendtro disclose the "private logic" behind kids’ violent and defiant acts. Weaving together an effective, highly rewarding approach based on tried-and-true resilience models, insights from their years of experience, and kids’ own heart-wrenching accounts, the authors identify the "internal strengths" and "external supports" kids need in order to break negative behavior patterns.
