Henggeler and Borduin take a research-oriented approach in their attempt to integrate family therapy and individual therapeutic approaches to resolving behavior problems of children and adolescents. Focusing on the practitioner, they describe an approach to treatment that has proven effective in several major therapy outcome studies and in years of clinical work. Chapters are devoted to assessing and intervening in individual-cognitive, marital, parent-child, family, peer, and school systems, and to developing comprehensive treatment strategies for difficult problems such as chemical dependancy, incest, and serious delinquency. While acknowledgingthat family systems conceptualizations and treatment pf behavior problems have significant advantages over traditional clinical approaches, the authors propose that family therapists have taken an unnecessarily narrow view of behavior problems and an overly restrictive approach to beahvior change. These limitations are addressed by the multisystematic approach to the treatment of psychosocial problems. This book should be of interest to advanced and graduate-level courses in clinical psychology.

Therapy intervention which is brief and focused on specific developmental crises and passages is increasingly necessary in the face of shrinking financial support and government policy. Brief psychotherapy is a specifically developed skill. Brief Psychotherapy presents the therapist with a working knowledge of the forms of brief psychotherapy, techniques and strategies. Several major orientations and therapeutic contexts are considered. Other issues addressed include the type of crucial choices the therapist must make during therapy.

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.
