Burns and Hoagwood bring together original articles by some of the country's leading experts on children's mental health services to create an outstanding text exploring innovative community interventions for youth with serious emotional disorders. These community-based interventions include home-based services, intensive case management, crisis care, therapeutic foster care, therapeutic group homes and community mentors. Part of the series on Innovations in Practice and Service Delivery with Vulnerable Populations, this book will be a needed reference for mental health workers and researchers in children's mental health, and an outstanding text for courses in community mental health and the mental health of children and adolescents.
"The authors seek to develop a collaborative process among theoreticians, researchers and practitioners committed to the provision of effective children's mental health services that recognizes and draws on the knowledge and experience of each. Since this book was published in 2002, each of the models presented has been further developed and researched, sometimes raising questions about the model's original conceptualization, application or demonstrated effectiveness."--Research on Social Work Practice
