"In this book, Thomas J. Dishion and Elizabeth A. Stormshak describe their family-centered, ecological approach, which may be used as an intensive intervention or as a periodic preventive check up. To have the greatest public health impact, the approach can also be delivered in community settings such as schools." "The authors demonstrate how they examine psychopathology in children and adolescents in the context of the ecology (families, peer groups, communities, and schools) in which they live. They present their empirically derived approach and illustrate how developmentally and culturally relevant interventions are shaped."--Jacket.
