The booklets are based on the therapy manual "Treatment program for children with hyperactive and oppositional problem behavior (THOP)" (Döpfner, Schürmann, & Frölich, 2007) and the parent self-help book "Wackelpeter and Trotzkopf: Help for parents of children with hyperkinetic and oppositional behavior" (Döpfner, Schürmann, & Lehmkuhl, 2006).
