Multisystemic Treatment of Antisocial Behavior in Children and Adolescents
This comprehensive guide provides extensive clinical description of the Multisystemic Treatment (MST) approach for treating youths with serious antisocial behavior. A proven alternative to expensive and often ineffective out-of-home placement, MST is a family- and community-based treatment. It focuses on ameliorating the known determinants of antisocial behavior within the young person's family, peer, and school networks. Nine core principles comprise the parameters for the book's flexible, team-based intervention framework, which targets such areas as promoting family strengths and resiliencies, removing youths from antisocial peer groups, enhancing school performance, and developing indigenous social support systems. The book features a wealth of illustrative case material and is extensively documented with findings from controlled outcome studies.

Delinquency in Adolescence
This volume provides an up-to-date review of a topic of current and continuing importance - delinquent behaviour. Correlates are examined within a multidimensional framework that considers both the characteristics of adolescents and the key systems - family, peer, school and neighbourhood - in which adolescents are embedded. There are sections devoted to female, sexual and violent offenders, and empirically-based causal models of delinquent behaviour. The authors review the latest treatment approaches which address adolescent correlates and systemic correlates of delinquency, and they suggest directions for future research.
