About the Author

Mike Linderman is a teen therapist unlike any other.  A real-life cowboy, he wakes up at the crack of dawn, works the cattle on his ranch, and then counsels some of the country's most troubled teens, approaching them with a unique blend of down-home honesty, straight-talk discipline, and pure intention that is rarely found in a therapist's office.  Most of the teens Mike treats are angry, abused, violent and dangerous--they are children without hope.  Yet despite their difficult pasts, he has achieved extra-ordinary success with them, helping to turn their lives around and earning him the nickname the "Teen Whisperer.".......

Mike offers a concrete plan to help you address your teen's needs, amend your words (not just your rules), and rebuild your relationship as you

• Create the right approach to positive change
• Use appropriate praise to establish pure intention
• Communicate effectively
• Outline the right set of rules for your child

From "How to Use This Book"

No two kids and issues are ever going to be the same. The approach I've taken in this book reflects that reality.  Eventually, I'll tell you how I learned the importance of being adaptable and flexible.  The same is true with how you choose to read this book. 

I've broken the book down into four separate sections.  Part I serves as an introduction to me, my philosophy, and how it was shaped by my experiences in working with kids.  The method I've devised is also based on some theory--school of thought called reality therapy.
