Updated and new, this practice text has both US and UK authors of distinction. It targets working with children and their families in the context of their daily lives - in their homes, families, and communities. The authors use a problem-solving approach to provide helping strategies for a variety of problems and problem behaviors that occur in families. Professors Harper-Dorton and Herbert take into account current pressures for short-term care, attention to measuring outcomes, family permanency, and various family structures and support systems that include mentoring and empowering families for their lifelong journey in their communities and homes.

This latest edition retains the merits of the earlier editions but is enhanced by expanded coverage of cross-cultural issues, family mentoring, and problems specific to adolescence.

Review:
"The new edition of this major book should be purchased by social work and applied psychology students, tutors and practitioners as well as those who work in parent education and support. This edition retains the strengths of the original, but also updates readers by taking account of the huge output of research in relevant disciplines during the last two decades".

Carole Sutton, De Montfort University

From the Back Cover:
Written for those who work with parents, adolescents, and children in various family contexts, this book describes the practical process of assessment and intervention which can lead to empowering individual families and improving their quality of life. Illustrative case material is used throughout the book to highlight the step–by–step assessment process, and to link theory and practice with evaluation. Flow charts and checklists are also included to assist practitioners in assessing client situations and in monitoring interventions and outcomes. In addition, the third revised edition: Expands the material on underlying theoretical approaches to understanding behavior. Gives attention to the problems which arise from intervening in personal relationships and interactions within families. Includes new chapters addressing how children and families can go beyond solving their immediate problem and find renewed interest in social and community networks. Stresses the importance of evaluating all practices and programs as service environments change and demands for accountability increase.
