Description
Book SynopsisResidential mental health placements remain an essential but controversial and costly part of the children's mental health service system.
Trade Review"This book is an outstanding accomplishment, representing a definitive portrayal of past, present, and future. It should be required reading for any professional working to design and implement remedial programs for children and youth in residential treatment. This is particularly true for social workers and all students preparing for treatment-related careers serving children and youth." -- D. Sydiaha, emeritus, University of Saskatchewan *
