Reviews

"The research papers in the collection are excellent. Both the Chicago group's study of murderous adolescents and the excellent study of adolescent suicidal behavior by Woznica and Shapiro are excellent examples of research that addresses clinically relevant questions without ignoring vigorous scientific method....Overall, this is a fascinating read. It touches on many of the crucial issues in the care of adolescent patients, teaching us much and pointing the directions in which we need to move to broaden our knowledge and understanding."-John E. Meeks, M.D. Author of The Fragile Alliance

"This volume is a vast treasure trove of theoretical, clinical, and research information on "The Adolescent in Turmoil.,.".The book, well written and skillfully edited, is a must read for clinicians working with adolescents. It can be studied in depth and used as a reference source."-James F. Masterson, M.D.
