Behavior Disorders of Adolescence : Research, Intervention, and Policy in Clinical and School Settings

"This volume is one in a continuing series of publications sponsored by the Banff InterƯ national Conferences on Behavioural Science. The conferences have been held each spring since 1969 in Banff, Alberta, Canada. They serve the purpose of bringing together outƯ standing behavioral scientists and professionals in a forum where they can present and disƯ cuss data related to emergent issues and topics. Thus, the International Conferences, as a continuing event, have served as an expressive "early indicator" of the developing nature and composition of behavioral science and scientific application. Distance, schedules, and restricted audience preclude wide attendance at the conferƯ ences. Consequently, the publications have equal status with the conferences proper. They are not, however, simply publications of the papers presented at the conference. Presenters at the Banff Conferences are required to write a chapter specifically for the forthcoming book, separate from their presentation and discussion at the conference itself. The original conference had as its theme "Ideal Mental Health Services." The policy consciously adopted at that conference, and followed ever since, was to identify for the preƯ sentation of each year's theme those behavioral researchers who could best identify the state of the art. In 1969, the conference faculty were Nathan Azrin, Ogden Lindsley, Gerald PatƯ terson, Todd Risley, and Richard Stuart. The conference topics for the first 19 years were as follows: "Ideal Mental Health Services" 1969: I"--Font no determinada Front Matter....Pages i-xiv Early Adolescence: Behavior Problems, Stressors, and the Role of Family Factors....Pages 1-11 Epidemiology of Behavioral and Emotional Disorders of Adolescence: Implications for Treatment, Research, and Policy....Pages 13-26 Risk-Taking Behavior in Adolescence....Pages 27-37 Attention Deficits, Impulsivity, and Hyperactivity with or Without Conduct Problems: Relationships to Delinquency and Unique Contextual Factors....Pages 39-61 A Multisystemic Approach to the Treatment of Serious Delinquent Behavior....Pages 63-80 Empirical Bases for Integrating School- and Family-Based Interventions Against Early Adolescent Substance Abuse....Pages 81-97 Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa: What Knowledge of Diagnosis and Pathogenesis Has Taught about Treatment....Pages 99-110 Strategic Adaptations of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Anorexic and Bulimic Adolescents and Their Families....Pages 111-123 Suicide in the Young: Implications for Policy and Programming....Pages 125-138 Effective Caregiver Behavior in Working with Suicidal Adolescents....Pages 139-153 A Cognitive Behavioral Model for the Treatment of Social-Communicative Deficits in Adolescents with Autism....Pages 155-174 Severe School-Related Behavior Problems in Adolescents: The Use of a Home-Based Interpersonal Treatment Model with Parents as Mediators....Pages 175-190 Towards a Unified Perspective on Human Service Delivery Systems: Application of the Teaching-Family Model....Pages 191-205 Adolescent Mental Health Promotion: Policy and Practice....Pages 207-223 Back Matter....Pages 225-227 Based on the proceedings of the XX Banff International Conference on Behavioural Science, held in Banff, Alberta, Canada, March 20-24, 1988
