High-risk sexual behavior has been linked to social problems such as substance abuse, domestic violence, homelessness, and deprivation. This volume's unique multidisciplinary biopsychosocial approach combines relevant medical information regarding disease states with the cultural, social, and psychological facets of successful prevention programs. Becker and Rankin outline specific interventions that address the needs of particularly vulnerable populations: women, ethnic minorities, and the gay community. Useful chapter summaries which review the pros and cons of different approaches will aid both the student and the practitioner.

Management of chronic illness in children and adolescents often is a multifaceted challenge that requires the attention and expertise of individuals from a variety of disciplines that include psychology, psychiatry, social work, and medicine. The aim of this book is to provide readers with a practical overview of the definitions, characteristics, theories and models, diagnostic and treatment indications, and relevant aspects and methods of evidence-based psychosocial treatments for chronic illness in children and adolescents. Although treatments and research for chronic conditions are reviewed in general, particular attention is directed at asthma, cancer, cystic fibrosis, diabetes mellitus, and sickle cell disease due to the high incidence of these chronic diseases among children and adolescents. Case vignettes and suggestions for further reading are provided for the interested reader."The Advances in Psychotherapy" series has been developed and is edited with the support of the Society of Clinical Psychology (APA Division 12). In conjunction with the Society, a system of home study continuing education courses has been developed for each book that an individual can complete on the web.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is a common condition that affects both children and adults, and can have serious consequences for academic, emotional, social, and occupational functioning. When properly identified and diagnosed, however, there are many interventions for the disorder that have established benefits. This volume in the new series, "Advances in Psychotherapy - Evidence-Based Practice", provides therapists with practical, evidence-based guidance on diagnosis and treatment from leading experts - and does so in a uniquely "reader-friendly" manner. Readers will gain an understanding of recent advances in the etiology and symptom presentations of ADHD in children and adults, as well as the use of stimulant medications, other psychopharmacological approaches, and psychotherapeutic interventions. The book is both a compact "how-to" reference, for use by professional clinicians in their daily work, and an ideal educational resource for students and practice-oriented continuing education.

The result of a collaboration that began when the coauthors were Congressional Fellows in 1992-93, this book argues that solutions to the problems facing children and families in the US today will be found when all the systems serving children and families converge to work toward common ends. It considers the commitment of parenting, risk factors in infancy and early childhood, traumatic experiences of childhood, adolescent risk factors and outcomes, intergenerational transmission of positive and negative development, and implication for public policy. Appends personal reflections by each author on their experiences in the capitol as part of the Congressional Fellowship Program. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
