Adolescent Forensic Psychiatry (Hardcover)

Adolescent Forensic Psychiatry discusses a broad range of issues based around the psychiatric needs of adolescents and how these relate to offending behavior. Its well-structured approach looks at assessment, treatment, and outcomes for different disorders and highlights the importance of effective interaction between specialist agencies. Services supporting the assessment and treatment of children and young people within forensic mental health services are influenced by professionals in many areas; therefore, the book includes contributions by authors from a wide range of disciplines and specialties in order to cover every aspect of the field.
Adolescent Forensic Psychiatry examines the key influences that shape young people's attitudes and behavior and shows the association between different offending behavior patterns and psychiatric disorders. It includes a section on future strategies, including politics, service provision, and the impact of research. This book will be of special interest to people working with children and young people in secure care, and to those working with all looked-after children. It will be of value to all those involved in the development of the needs of children and adolescents within educational, social, mental health and criminal justice services.
