Taming the Problem Child
Description
Dr. Ron Federici, an American psychologist, has devised a controversial treatment plan to help improve the unacceptable behavior of aggressive, conduct-disordered children. The treatment is tough on both the children and their parents: isolated from the outside world, the children must stay three feet away from their parents at all times and are restrained if they disobey. This Horizon program follows the progress of two children, Haley and Sergei, as they undertake the course of treatment. The question is, Does this treatment in any way harm children, or is it as effective and helpful as Dr. Federici believes it will be?
