Social, economic, and theoretical changes in the current clinical
landscape are adding up to profound changes in childrena (TM)s
services--not the least of which is an expanded need for mental
health services. Professionals--novices and veteran clinicians
alike--wonder how to fill this demand in the present climate of
turf wars, reorganizations, and budget cuts. The Handbook of Mental
Health Services for Children, Adolescents, and Families cogently
analyzes the issues and provides the answers, from current issues
and emerging therapeutic trends to new avenues of treatment.
Thoroughly researches and documented buy industry experts, it
presents the widest range of mental health services available to
youth and their families.
Areas of coverage include:
Specific modalities in service delivery, including in-patient
and day treatment facilities, pediatric hospitals, and community
mental health centers as well as rural, school, and primary care
settings.
Services tailored to special populations, such as adolescent sex
offenders, homeless children and their families, children with
chronic illness, oppositional teens, abuse situations, and children
exposed to traumatic events.
Details on preventative programs for child abuse, substance
abuse, STDa (TM)s, and gang violence.
An in-depth examination of the latest developments in childrena
(TM)s services, including therapeutic camping and Internet-based
treatment.
Approaches and methods for evaluating service organization,
delivery, and efficacy.
Few areas of mental health care demonstrate the need for
complementary services as much as child and family practice does.
With this need firmly inmind, the Handbook encourages creativity
and collaboration within practice settings and across agencies. For
clinicians, administrators, school practitioners, and
advanced-level students, this is a reference certain to have
lasting impact on the field.
