Ending the Physical Punishment of Children
"Although many parents use spankings to discipline their children, research shows that corporal punishment harms children and is ineffective at changing their behavior. This book presents 15 effective interventions designed to stop and prevent parents from physically punishing their children. Each chapter of this book reviews a different intervention, summarizes its evidence base, and generalizability across populations and contexts, and explains how to implement it in community and mental health settings. Some strategies explicitly discourage parents from using physical punishment, while others focus on teaching alternative ways to manage children's behavior.

All of the strategies will help parents change their behavior in ways that promote their children's healthy development. Therapists, social workers, other community health and safety professionals, and policy makers will all appreciate the diverse array of strategies represented in the book"--

The Alcalde serves as an intellectual crossroads where UT's luminaries - artists, engineers, executives, musicians, attorneys, journalists, lawmakers, and professors among them - meet bimonthly to exchange ideas. Its pages also offer a place for Texas Exes to swap stories and share memories of Austin and their alma mater.
