This book takes the Dust Bowl story beyond Depression America to
describe the 'dust bowl' concept as a transnational phenomenon,
where during World War Two, US and Australian national mythologies
converged. Dust Bowl begins with Depression America, the New Deal
and the US Dust Bowl where massive dust storms darkened the skies
of the Great Plains and triggered a major national and
international media event and generated imagery describing a failed
yeoman dream, Dust Bowl refugees, and the coming of a new American
Desert. Dust Bowl traces the evolution of this imagery to
Australia, World War Two and New Deal-inspired stories of
conservation-mindedness, soil erosion and enemies, sheep-farmers
and traitors, creeping deserts and human extinction, super-human
housewives and natural disaster and finally, grand visions of a
nation-building post-war scheme for Australia's iconic Snowy
River-that vision became the Snowy Mountains Hydro-electric Scheme.
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.
Written for practitioners and policymakers, this book will help
professionals across health, education, social care and juvenile
justice services to understand the needs of young offenders and
adolescents at risk of entering the criminal justice system.
Developmental in approach, the textbook provides a comprehensive
overview of forensic child and adolescent mental health, using
cases to help clinicians link theoretical principles to practice
and understand how mental health and neurodevelopmental impairment
can relate to offending behaviour. With an emphasis on preventive
initiatives, early intervention and the building of psycho-social
resilience through the delivery of values based practice, this book
highlights the need for comprehensive assessment for young people
across multiple domains of their lives. This book is of interest to
all clinicians working within mental health teams, practitioners
working with children and adolescents, professionals involved with
youth justice and medico-legal issues, and politicians responsible
for establishing health and social policy.
