Community Treatment for Youth: Evidence-Based Interventions for Severe Emotional and Behavioral Disorders / Edition 1

by Barbara J. Burns, Kimberly Hoagwood

Overview

This outstanding textbook presents innovative interventions for youth with severe emotional and behavioral disorders. Community Treatment for Youth is designed to fill a gap between the knowledge base and clinical practice through its presentation of theory, practice parameters, training requirements, and research evidence. Featuring community-based and state-of-the-art services for youth with severe emotional and behavioral disorders and their families, this volume describes each intervention in depth, along with the supporting evidence for its utility. Most chapters present a single intervention as an alternative to institutional care. Shared characteristics of these interventions include delivery of services in the community (homes, schools, and neighborhoods) provided largely by parents and paraprofessional staff. The interventions are appropriate to use in any of the child human services sectors and have been developed in the field with real-world child and family clients. In addition, they offer a reduced cost in comparison to institutional care. Several chapters address diagnostic-specific psychosocial and psychopharmacological treatments, which are likely to be provided as adjunctive treatment in a clinical setting. Designed to update professionals in the field about effective services, Community Treatment for Youth will serve as a resource for academics, policymakers, practitioners, consumers, and researchers.

Editorial Reviews

"The authors seek to develop a collaborative process among theoreticians, researchers and practitioners committed to the provision of effective children's mental health services that recognizes and draws on the knowledge and experience of each. Since this book was published in 2002, each of the models presented has been further developed and researched, sometimes raising questions about the model's original conceptualization, application or demonstrated effectiveness."—Research on Social Work Practice
