Counseling Youth: Systemic Issues and Interventions highlights the
nature of counseling youth and implementing interventions from a
systemic perspective. This systemic perspective focuses on the
multitude of issues and systems that impact youth and mental
health, such as academic progress and achievement; emotional and
behavioral problems; and overall behaviors that impact physical and
emotional well-being. As these aforementioned issues are addressed,
highlighted are the roles of various systems, including schools,
mental health facilities, medical facilities, juvenile justice
systems, and refugee services, as well as services geared to
special populations, such as LGBT+ youth and undocumented immigrant
minors. Included in this text is a brief overview of
child-adolescent development that then focuses on issues, policies,
and services for counseling youth in schools, communities, and
clinical settings. Central to this book are the issues that
families, schools, and communities are having difficulty
addressing, such as trauma, abuse, suicide, teen pregnancy, and
antisocial behavior, and the key to addressing these issues by
utilizing a variety of resources within the system and advocating
for systemic change. Utilized is a multidimensional focus on
development, issues, and strategies, providing an integrative
approach so that clinicians (present and future) have an
understanding of the theory, concerns, policies, and approaches for
working youth. This book also utilizes a transtheoretical approach
and attempts to provide an overview of approaches and interventions
regardless of theoretical approach. Unlike books that focus on a
singular model, this approach is to speak to a variety of
individuals training to be clinicians from a variety of backgrounds
(e.g., social work, marriage and family therapy, counseling,
psychology).

Allowing legislators to pick the voters that make up their
districts is a fundamental conflict of interest and central concern
for the popular sovereignty of American elections. In The Realities
of Redistricting, Jonathan Winburn examines the extent of this
potential problem by focusing on both the incentives and the
constraints facing state legislators during the redistricting
process. Most research on redistricting tends to examine only the
outcomes produced in terms of partisan gains or losses; however, we
know much less about what constrains political mapmakers during the
process. We know even less about whether constraints built into the
process are enough to limit the partisan manipulation of both
district boundaries and electoral outcomes. From the beginning
stages of redistricting to the resulting outcomes on election day,
this book analyzes the constraints and incentives that state
legislators face. By examining the entire process, this book
investigates who holds the power in the process and improves our
understanding of the conditions under which redrawing district
boundaries have a significant influence on partisan politics
throughout the country. Specifically, reformers, who generally
argue for commissions, may find that focusing on the rules rather
than the actors is a better path to improving the process. The
Realities of Redistricting is an interesting and informative read
for anyone concerned with one of the most contentious processes in
the American system.
