The stories of four among hundreds of runaway youths treated in
Slesnick's program illustrate points in this volume, which offers a
summary of the information known about runaway and homeless
children and teenagers. In addition to describing the breadth of
this problem, this book explains different types of runaway and
homeless youths, and why they leave home by choice or are asked to
leave. Slesnick also explains some of the factors common to these
children and their families, as well as what happens to the youths
when they leave home. Direction and support are provided for
parents from this clinical psychologist, who notes that there are
few resources and programs across the nation designed specifically
to help families with runaway youths. Told by a parent and three
runaways themselves, the stories of four people trying to
understand the causes and cope with the afte- effects of running
away serve to illustrate research results and issues presented
here. This work will be of interest not only to parents of runaways
and to mental health professionals, but also to students of
adolescent psychology, family psychology, and clinical child
psychology.
