Summary

"The first scientifically grounded, step-by-step guide of its kind, this book belongs on the desks of clinical psychologists, social workers, family therapists, school psychologists, psychiatrists, and other professionals who work with potentially violent youth. It will also be of interest to juvenile justice professionals, and may serve as a supplemental text in graduate-level courses."--BOOK JACKET.
