This paper outlines five new types of behavior therapy with children, adolescents and their parents. The Parent-Child Interaction Therapy is described as a new therapy for behavior management. Then, Functional Analytic Psychotherapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) are described as third generation applications of behavior therapy. Two additional therapies that have been influenced by this new wave of therapy are also discussed -the Integrative Family Therapy and the Mode Deactivation Therapy. As a conclusion, contributions of all these therapies are summarized.

Keywords : children and adolescents; parent-child interaction therapy; functional analytic psychotherapy; acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT); integrative family therapy; mode deactivation therapy.
