" Continue reading the paragraphs below to see our honest James Lehman author review.
James, the author of the total transformation program, had several behavioral problems when he was growing up.
He was born in 1946 and was abandoned at the age of 2 by parents who could not care for him.
He was adopted by Teddy and Marguerite Lehman.
As a child and as an adolescent he began to exhibit oppositional and defiant conduct both at school and in the household.
As he grew up, his conduct only became more severe and he eventually dropped out of school, ran away from home and sank into a life of drug abuse and crime on the gritty streets of New York City.
After several stints in prison, James got the chance to partake in an accountability-focused program.
After completing the program, he took up some training in order to become a staff coordinator and it is at that point that his career working with children as a counselor, therapist and teacher began.
He enrolled at Fordham University and stayed there for 2 years, relocated to New England and managed to get his first degree in social work.
He proceeded with his work, helping families and children and eventually enrolled at Boston University and in 1989 he managed to graduate with a master's degree in social work.
James took up work at a residential treatment center and he began practicing privately.
Today, you will find that he offers therapy, discussion and preparation to state agencies, families and schools.
The main objective of his work is to prepare and provide the basic framework for parents, teachers and case managers to handle the challenges that difficult children pose.
Also, to help the children develop the problem solving and self-management skills they require without having to turn to their bad behavior such as being disrespectful, obnoxious and rude.
James recently developed the total transformation program.
The program equips parents with the tools they need to deal with the challenge of having badly behaved children without need for expensive therapy sessions.
The program is comprehensive and explains to parents why these children behave the way they do and how to deal with it.
He has first-hand experience of how such behave can spiral out of control and eventually land children with such tendencies in trouble.
James Lehman has accumulated a lot of experience in his field and having been someone who went through the same problems he writes and talks about, he can deal with those problems from a unique standpoint.
This professional is really someone to look up to, because he gives those who are at the bottom the opportunity to feel that they can be someone too.
He shows us that no matter where you are in this world, there really is light at the end of the tunnel.
