This text reference provides state-of-the-art information on
juvenile firesetters and reviews the current research on youthful
firesetters and arsonists. The work illustrates methods of fire
scene investigation and assessment relating to child-parent and
family factors. This information is then used to prescribe
interventions with the individual along with community-wide
programs. The work also provides current information on fire safety
education and curricula, with explicit training materials. Finally,
the book addresses the need for residential treatment centers and
training schools on methods for handling firesetting youth and
maintaining a fire safe environment.

A professional book aimed at practitioners and practitioners in training, this volume is the first attempt to provide a comprehensive, practical approach to the assessment and treatment of physically abused children. While there are other books that cover certain aspects of assessment and treatment, this book is comprehensive in that it covers child-specific, parent-specific, and family-specific interventions. The volume will present an overview of child physical abuse (including statistics and consequences), it will discuss outcome studies and treatment implications, and it will thoroughly discuss assessment and treatment. It will help practitioners: - Understand children?s abuse experiences, views, exposures to violence, and it will help expose thinking errors or negative attributions. It will also help the practitioner help the children with anxiety management, anger management, social skills, and safety plans.
- Help parents with child management and development, expectations and cognitive distortions, behavior management, and discipline.
- Facilitate family communication and problem solving.
It's surprisingly common for children and adolescents to play with
fire and to actually set fires. A single fire has the potential to
cause a cascade of serious consequences to children, families, and
their community, sometimes with devastating impact. Yet, there is
limited practical information and evidence-based advice available
to help programs and practitioners with children and adolescents
who engage in this behavior. Assessment and Intervention with
Children and Adolescents Who Misuse Fire presents practical
guidelines to facilitate the clinical assessment and treatment of
youth firesetting. Based on nearly four decades of research and
intervention experience, the treatment is directed toward reducing
any inappropriate involvement in fire or related activities in
order to lower the risk for property damage, personal injury, and
other adverse consequences associated with these behaviors. This
evidence-based intervention provides clinicians with a
comprehensive program for school-aged children, early adolescents,
and adolescents, and the child and his/her caregiver(s) are both
important participants in treatment. The modular approach allows
for therapists to be flexible in deciding which topics to cover in
order to best meet the needs of children and families. This
treatment model encourages more appropriate and safe behaviors in
both children/adolescents and their caregivers and provides skills
likely to discourage fire involvement. In addition, the materials
promote controlling exposure to incendiary materials and
opportunities to use fire. The intervention is provided in a single
volume, encompassing a practitioner guide, parent workbook, and
child/adolescent workbook, including handouts for participating
clients.
