Offering a fresh perspective on treatment, this book presents an
overarching framework and many specific strategies for working with
violent youth and their families. The authors shed light on the
complex interplay of individual, family, community, and societal
forces that lead some adolescents to hurt others or themselves.
Effective ways to address each of these factors in clinical and
school settings are discussed and illustrated with evocative case
material. The book provides essential guidance on connecting with
aggressive teens and their parents and managing difficult
situations that are likely to arise. The strengths-based
interventions presented are applicable to a broad range of
high-risk behaviors, from bullying and assault to substance abuse,
self-mutilation, and suicidality.
