Summary
Summary
A recent report to the nation from the Commission on Children at Risk warned that rising rates of mental and emotional problems among U.S. children and teenagers signal a crisis for the country. Depression, anxiety, attention deficit, conduct disorders, suicidal thinking, and other serious psychological problems are striking more and more children and youths. In these volumes, dozens of experts describe in clear language what the maladies are, how they develop, what fuels them, and what can be done to stem the tide or eradicate these disorders. Particular situations are examined, and the roles of parents, family, peers, childcare leaders, school personnel and programs, as well as pediatricians are discussed.
A recent report to the nation from the Commission on Children at Risk warned that rising rates of mental and emotional problems among U.S. children and teenagers signal a crisis for the country. Depression, anxiety, attention deficit, conduct disorders, suicidal thinking, and other serious psychological problems are striking more and more children and youths. Conservative estimates say one in every ten children and adolescents now suffers from mental illness severe enough to cause impairment. Fewer than one in five ever gets treatment.
In these volumes, dozens of experts from across the nation, including a Nobel Prize winner and researchers from Harvard, Princeton, and Yale, describe in clear language what the maladies are, how they develop, what fuels them and what can be done to stem the tide or eradicate these disorders. Included are chapters on attachment disorders, aggression and antisocial behaviors, learning disabilities, suicidal behavior, and autistic spectrum disorders, among others. Particular situations examined include the mental health crisis for abused children, for immigrant, foster, African American, Latino, Indian and Alaskan children, for those living in poverty, and for teenagers among the sexual minority. The roles of parents, family, peers, childcare leaders, school personnel and programs, as well as pediatricians are discussed.

Choice Review
Fitzgerald (Michigan State Univ., Univ. of Michigan, and executive director of the World Association for Infant Mental Health), Zucker (Univ. of Michigan), and Freeark (Univ. of Michigan) bring considerable combined expertise and skill to this well-edited four-volume set. Together the volumes offer 51 chapters that reflect a diverse set of methodologies dealing with the science and practice underlying issues related to parenting, mental health, child care, and public policy. Cultural factors and formulations are embedded into all four volumes, making this remarkable set a cutting-edge tool. Each chapter includes references, and each of the four volumes includes a subject and author index. This resource will be valuable for psychologists (developmental, clinical, and counseling), social workers, practitioners working with children and youth, and those aspiring to work in these capacities. ^BSumming Up: Highly recommended.
