Handbook of adolescent behavioral problems: evidence-based approaches to prevention and treatment
Gullotta, T.P.
Adams, G.R.
As we enter the new millennium, promoting sound mental health and positive behavior of adolescents has undeniably taken on greater significance than ever before. To that end, more and more research is confirming what many have suspected for years: environment and community surroundings have a major affect on an adolescent’s well-being and overall mental health. And because no single causal agent triggers teenage pathology—and no one-size-fits-all treatment is available—the Handbook of Adolescent Behavior Problems offers a comprehensive andintegrative biopsychosocial approach to effective practice. This volume examines not only the psychological and genetic factors underlying dysfunction, it also explores the critical roles that family members, peers, and the larger community play in an adolescent’s life. Offers a practical interdisciplinary examination of dysfunctional behaviors in adolescence Blends theoretical and scholarly research with practical clinical and practice observations pertinent to the subject area Provides recommendations for practice improvements and prevention/health promotion INDICE: From the contents Section I: Introduction and Overview.- Section II: Disorders.- Section III: Problem Behaviors.- Conclusion.
