Exploring current issues of drug use by young people, Intervening
with Drug-Involved Youth provides a special analysis of
intervention by an outstanding group of experts in the field.
Noteworthy topics considered include the scope of the problem,
prevention and treatment initiatives, and international
perspectives. The contributors examine what programs have proved
effective and which initiatives lack the outcome necessary to
reduce drug use among youths. Prevention and treatment strategies
analyzed include school- and street-based programs operated by law
enforcement, family therapy, residential approaches, programs in
Brazil and India, and more. This comprehensive volume also features
a fascinating and thorough introduction on the history of drug use,
giving the reader a frame of reference for understanding
drug-involved youth and options for intervention. Prevention of
other high-risk behaviors, including those that increase the risk
of contracting HIV, is also considered. Intervening with
Drug-Involved Youth is an essential resource for drug abuse
counselors, clinicians, and researchers and provides an organized
overview of specific interventions that will be useful in college
courses in counseling, social work, family therapy, drug abuse,
juvenile delinquency, and criminology.
Since 1950 more than three million people have left their homes in
Appalachia in search of better jobs and a better life in the cities
of the Midwest and Southeast. Today they constitute one of the
largest minorities in many of those cities. Yet they have been
largely overlooked as a social group and ignored as a potential
political force, partly because so little has been written about
them. This important book is the first to explore the Appalachian
migration and its impact on the cities, on Appalachia, and on the
migrants themselves, from the perspectives of sociology, economics,
geography, and social planning. Eleven contributors offer new
insights into the complex patterns of migration streams, the
numbers of Appalachians in specific urban areas, their residential
and occupational patterns in the cities, their adjustments to urban
life and work, and the enormous social and economic impact of this
mass movement.
