P.E.T., or Parent Effectiveness Training , began almost forty years ago as the first national parent-training program to teach parents how to communicate more effectively with kids and offer step-by-step advice to resolving family conflicts so everybody wins. This beloved classic is the most studied, highly praised, and proven parenting program in the world -- and it will work for you. Now revised for the first time since its initial publication, this groundbreaking guide will show you:
How to avoid being a permissive parent
How to listen so kids will talk to you and talk so kids will listen to you
How to teach your children to "own" their problems and to solve them
How to use the "No-Lose" method to resolve conflicts
Using the timeless methods of P.E.T. will have immediate results: less fighting, fewer tantrums and lies, no need for punishment. Whether you have a toddler striking out for independence or a teenager who has already started rebelling, you'll find P.E.T. a compassionate, effective way to instill responsibility and create a nurturing family environment in which your child will thrive.

托马斯•戈登博士(1918-2002),美国著名心理学家,师从人本主义心理学家卡尔• 罗杰斯。他在芝加哥大学获得博士学位并留校任教,曾担任加州心理学会会长、美国白宫儿童顾问等职。戈登博士以其创建的“戈登方法”而闻名全球,这一方法起初用于改善父母与孩子间的关系,后发展为一种改善所有人际关系的通用模式。
1962 年,戈登博士开发了“父母效能训练”(P.E.T.)课程,第一次P.E.T. 课程由他亲自在美国加州帕萨迪纳市的一家咖啡馆给14 位父母讲授。事实证明,这一课程非常受欢迎,于是戈登博士开始训练讲师,让他们在社区讲授课程。在接下来的几年内,这一课程遍及美国50 个州。1970 年,戈登博士写作《父母效能训练》(P.E.T.)一书,这本书将无数父母引入了他的新家教哲学。世界许多国家的人们也开始关注这一课程,并在其国家开设培训。据统计,《父母效能训练》以33 种语言在全球出版,英文版销量高达500 多万册。全球50 多个国家和地区每年近500 万父母参加此培训课程。
