Produktbeschreibung
Gaps of knowledge exist of effective, culturally
competent, community-based services for children
and adolescents with serious emotional disturbance.
There is great disparity between the evidence-base
of effective community-based treatments for youth
with mental health disorders and the treatments
that are available to them. Untreated or
inadequately treated youth are likely to end up in
the child welfare or juvenile justice systems,
particularly those with externalizing disorders.
Not providing appropriate mental health services to
youth can have profound consequences as untreated
or under-treated mental health problems disrupt
children s development, sometimes permanently. The
purpose of this book is to evaluate the use of
Multisystemic Therapy with seriously emotionally
disturbed youth in a community mental health
setting.
