Críticas

"This is a great text. One of my graduate students said about the first edition, 'this is one of the few books I think I'll hang on to, ' and the second edition is even better. . . . It offers excellent coverage of the topic from identification of the many categories of being at risk, through current research, to suggested solutions."

Reseña del editor

This timely book addresses one of the biggest single problems facing society today--at-risk behavior in one quarter of our nation's youth--and provides strategies for prevention and treatment that can be implemented in the schools, in the homes, and by helping professionals in a variety of settings. Whether the term "at risk" is associated with a local school district's problems with child and adolescent suicide and school dropouts, the correction system's concerns about juvenile delinquency, or the health system's concerns with teen pregnancy, child abuse, and AIDS, the individuals labeled at-risk need the ongoing help of professional--and this book can set the stage.
