The problems of children and adolescents are of major concern to
planners and providers of services within health and social care.
When assuming responsibility for these services, at whatever level
(policy, strategy, commissioning, or providing) they become aware
of the major challenges that face them. Few people, however, are
aware of the considerable amount of evidence that has already been
accumulated in the last 50 years about effectiveness and the
circumstances that impact on how best to deliver services. This
book is the first to bring together this substantial body of
evidence, disseminating in one volume information usually found
scattered throughout a vast range of publications. In 38 chapters,
it provides advice on: (a) The background developments in
policymaking, strategic thinking, and adult education that impact
on the future roles of professionals, managers, and child and
adolescent health services. (b) Identifying problem populations and
devising effective methods for obtaining reliable and valid
measures of need that will enable service planning to take place,
and which will then promote developments of commissioning
strategies that make sense to practitioners. (c) Learning lessons
for and from not only the UK but also North America, Australasia,
developing countries, and societies that are in recovery
post-conflict. (d) Understanding the evidence base for current
interventions so that informed choices can be made, particularly in
relation to expensive and residential provisions. (e) Understanding
service networks so that children and families are directed to
services that are likely to have the optimal effect in relation to
their identified needs. (f) How services are currently being mapped
and what recent exercise tell us about the performance of
state-funded services in the UK (g) What we know from international
sources about: how the impact of mental health problems and
disorders on younger people translates into burden on parents,
families, carers, and primary level staff; how their experiences
relate to demand for and on specialist child and adolescents mental
health services; and what the literature tells us about demand
management. (h) Understanding the criteria for service evaluation
so that reliable benchmarks and standards of effectiveness in
services can be developed and applied. (i) Surveying the
developments that have occurred in services in the last 15 years
and future directions. Each chapter is written by an expert or team
of experts in the field covered and is thoroughly referenced to
enable readers to locate and refer to the original sources. This
book will be the essential reference text for Directors and
Managers in the NHS and Social care who have responsibility for
children and adolescents with emotional or behavioural problems, as
well as for clinical practitioners and those in training, or those
responsible for providing training and staff development.
