Challenges for the next decade as the subtitle ofa book is a
statement ofambition. In the present time we have to be ambitious
as scientists, clinicians, and teachers. Without ambition we would
not be able to confront the problems of young people in an
effective way. In this decade, we can see an abundance of problems
of young people: football hooliganism, school drop out, vandalism,
delinquency, lack ofsocial skills, aggression, and depression. The
problem seems to grow. Governments, parents, and concerned citizens
call for action now. Unfortunately, the action that is taken is
often impulsive and not based on scientifically proven methods:
longerjail sentences for young first offenders, putting young
offenders in military look-alike training camps, etc. For some
reason, the usage of effective interventions is limited. In this,
book the reader will find an extensive overview of what we know to
be effective as a "cure" or prevention for the above-mentioned
problems. The first four chapters will give the reader a clear
insight ofwhat the "state ofthe art" is today. erview of cognitive
behavioural therapies with children and ado An integrative ov
lescents isgiven by Kendall, Panichelli-Mindel, and Gerow.Russo and
Navalta providesome new dimensions ofbehavior analysis and therapy.
What behavioral approaches can offer to education is described by
Slavenburg and van Bilsen in two chapters. In Part II authors from
Australia, the United States, and the Netherlands describe programs
for specific clinical populations: attention deficit disorder,
anti-social youth, learning problems, social skills problems,
depression, and aggression."
