Social Relationship Problems in Children

An Approach to Intervention

  • Chapter
Advances in Clinical Child Psychology

Part of the book series: Advances in Clinical Child Psychology ((ACCP,volume 6))

Abstract

In this chapter we will review the growing area of social skills training for children who have problems with their peers. We will suggest that greater progress will be made by describing the natural variation that exists in children’s behaviors and that these descriptions are essential for the development of the content of interventions. We will contrast this approach to the current approach of a review of correlates of criterion variables of interest.
