Research on mental health services for children and adolescents has
become a vibrant subspecialty within the larger field of mental
health services research. This research program experienced a
somewhat later start than that focusing on adults, and faces a set
of issues and challenges that are both different and in many ways
more complex.
The served population itself is bounded by infancy and the late
teen years, and includes all age groups in between. This
developmental spectrum naturally necessitates there being a
correspondingly diverse array of mental health services. The
disorders experienced by children and adolescents can become
apparent in the family, the school, the pediatrician??'s office,
the social welfare agency or the courts, and the settings in which
services may be provided can include any or all of these, as well
as numerous others. Indeed, it has become standard practice in
discussing mental health service delivery for this population to
emphasize ???systems of care, ??? although identifying the outlines
and boundaries of such systems can itself be a daunting task.
The chapters in this volume singly and collectively reflect the
richness and complexity of research in this burgeoning and vitally
important area and also highlight the novel conceptual and
methodological approaches researchers in this field are taking in
tackling its most critical issues.
*Focuses on the unique challenges related to mental health services
for children
*Examines the different settings (school, home, community, etc.)
where treatment and diagnosis may take place
*Reviews literature in the area and discusses the creative
approaches taken by researchers
