Counselors & Therapists

 ”In a career spanning 40+ years, I have read many a book on improving and upgrading my therapeutic skills in working with young people and their parents. Most of the books were okay; some were very good, and some were excellent. This book, The Changing Behavior Book, is destined to become a classic. Weaving together his rich experiences with difficult kids, Dr. Sutton has written what amounts to a really different approach to changing the disordered behaviors of children and teens, thus improving their lives and all their relationships.

“Parents: The Changing Behavior Book will give you real-time, valuable insights into what changes YOU need to make, and how to encourage those changes in your child. You will lead from the front to become the parent you want to be, as your child becomes what you’ve always known him or her to be inside.

“Therapists: The Changing Behavior Book will challenge you, delight you, and prove to be a valuable resource as you peruse it again and again. THIS is what real therapy looks like, and this is what REAL change is all about.”

“The reader likely begins reading The Changing Behavior Book to change someone’s behavior. By the end of the book, they will likely realize that THEY have changed. Dr. Sutton’s straight-forward and friendly style of writing expresses a positive philosophy of life that leaves the reader with hope and resolve.”

“Dr. Sutton has written one of the most comprehensive books available to professionals dealing with child and adolescent behavior and mental health issues. That said, The Changing Behavior Book is written in a way that makes it easily understood by everyone.

“Each concept presented is illustrated by multiple “real world” examples that make it adaptable to “real world” kids. Each chapter concludes with the topic, “What Needs to Happen Next?” putting the information into a workable format that can be implemented immediately.

“I predict The Changing Behavior Book will become a “must have” for those raising and working with troubled and difficult children and adolescents.”

“Dr. Sutton makes The Changing Behavior Book interesting and easy to read, as if he’s having a conversation with you directly. Not even half-way through the book, I had already applied ideas from it in several therapy sessions!

“When I was toward the end of reading The Changing Behavior Book, I was so excited about all the new ideas learned that I felt as though I had attended a multi-day workshop!”
