Beschreibung

"I consider the Handbook of Child and Adolescent Systems of Care edited by Drs Andres Pumariega and Nancy Winters, an outstanding contribution for its clarity, depth, and breadth in the topics covered. They have assembled an impressive list of chapter authors, each well known for their expertise in specific areas. The Handbook, while of encyclopedic dimensions, reads well and traverses the span of thought from early efforts in the field to current developments." --Alberto C. Serrano, professor and vice chair, Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, University of Hawaii John A. Burns School of Medicine Department of Psychiatry "This rich resource for mental health professionals and others who work with seriously emotionally troubled children and their families distills the most hopeful lessons from two decades of children's mental health reform. It provides multiple perspectives on systems change, balancing principles and clinical insights with compelling lessons from real world efforts that can serve as a map and inspiration for others." --Jane Knitzer, National Center for Children in Poverty, Columbia University, and author, Unclaimed Children "Written by the experts in the mental health systems of care field, this book is a must for anyone involved in public sector child and adolescent psychiatry. Authoritative and practical, it is a great primer for those seeking to learn about this evolving mental health area." --Theodore A. Petti, Arthur B. Richter Professor of Child Psychiatry, Indiana University School of Medicine "This systems of care handbook presents the conceptualization and implementation of landmark innovations in treating children with emotional disturbance and their families. The elimination of 'silos' of care, strength based approach, and family and child involvement are the hallmarks of these creative and effective programs." --Mary Jane England, M.D., president, Regis College, former president, American Psychiatric Association and the Washington Business Group on Health
