Short-term Therapy for Troubled Kids

Focusing on the effectiveness of intensive in-home services for troubled youth, the author evaluates a decade's worth of data to assess the impact of these counseling and crisis intervention strategies. The findings challenge prevailing methods and prompt a reevaluation of current practices. By exploring the reasons behind the trend of increased referrals from juvenile courts and social services, the book encourages both professionals and the general public to consider alternative approaches for better addressing the emotional and behavioral challenges faced by at-risk children and their families.
