Books

Discipline for Home and School, Fundamentals – ( This 87 page book explains exactly how this process works within the student and should give sufficient information to help educators decide if they want to use RTP in their school or facility. This should be read prior to training.)

Discipline For Home and School, Book One - Book One and Two are critical for continual on-going training in RTP which is so necessary for the success of RTP in a school. Both should be used and reused both as a refresher and a source for new ideas.)

Discipline For Home and School, Book Two – (see above remarks)

Freedom From Stress – (RTP is based on Perceptual Control Theory, which was first explained by William Powers in his book, Behavior: The Control Of Perception. FFS should serve to help those new to RTP as a help with their initial understanding of PCT. Simply written and especially useful for school counselors, psychologists, and social workers.)

Creating Peace Within - By Ed Ford:
This book explains how two very different cultures, inmates in the county jail and students in primary and secondary schools, are taught, using the RTP concepts but not exactly with the same methods, a unique way to look within themselves, decide the way they want to be, and restructure their own lives so they can think for themselves, eliminate conflict, and restore harmony and peace in their lives. With a slightly different approach, it has been highly successful with Ed's work in the Maricopa County jail in Phoenix. A must reading for RTC teachers, administrators, and school counselors, social workers, and psychologists.

RTP Evaluation Handbook – by George Venetis with Ed Ford – (Only the specific school purchasing this handbook has non-exclusive copyright permission to make as many copies of the various forms as needed. This book should not be purchased initially, but only after RTP training and at least six months after the process has been implemented.)
