Parenting Your Delinquent, Defiant, Or Out-of-control Teen

This is the rare parenting book that addresses a genuine crisis rather than everyday friction — and it backs its advice with clinically validated models rather than instinct or anecdote. If you have a teenager flirting with the juvenile justice system or dropping out of school, Duffy's evidence-based toolkit is one of the more substantive resources available. It won't appeal to parents of well-adjusted kids, and there's no faith lens, but for the audience it targets it fills a serious gap.
