This up-to-date compendium is rich with information that clearly defines key principles and practices relevant to the theory and understanding of adolescent development in the 21st century. The authors present a balanced approach to alternative perspectives of theory and intervention, making Adolescent Mental Health: Prevention and Intervention a valuable resource for educators and practitioners. Case studies clarify concepts and illustrate procedures. Marion S. Forgatch, PhD, Senior Research Scientist Emerita, Oregon Social Learning Center, USA It is rare to find a concise summary of the literature on adolescent mental health that also is complete and readable. Ogden and Hagen, well known for their cutting edge research, have produced a gem, with up to the minute research described in the context of key lessons from history and the latest NICE and DSM-V guidelines. This book is required reading for serious students of the field and will serve as the foundation for meaningful and impactful practice and research in the coming decades. Dean L. Fixsen, Implementation Scientist, University of North Carolina, USA
