Adolescence is a period characterized by both increased susceptibility
to risks and new-found strength to withstand them. Whilst most young
people are well equipped to manage the changes associated with growing
up, other maladjusted and marginalized adolescents already have, or
are at risk of developing, mental health problems. Adolescent Mental
Health: Prevention and Intervention is a concise and accessible
overview of our current knowledge on effective treatment and
prevention programs for young people with mental health problems.
Whilst addressing some of the most common mental health issues among
young people, such as behavioral problems and drug-related
difficulties, it also offers a fuller understanding of the
evidence-based treatment and prevention programs that are built upon
what we know about how these behavioral and emotional problems develop
and are sustained. The volume illustrates contemporary and empirically
supported interventions and prevention efforts through a series of
case studies. It has been fully updated in line with the latest NICE
and DSM-V guidelines, and now includes an added chapter on
implementation, and what factors facilitate implementation processes
of intervention efforts. Adolescent Mental Health: Prevention and
Intervention will be essential reading for students and practitioners
in the fields of child welfare and mental health services, and any
professional working with adolescents at risk of developing mental
health problems.
