5.0 out of 5 stars As a teacher in a juvenile detention center, January 10, 2005

By	Donna Coffeen (Walla Walla, WA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

this book is a must have. I find it invaluable for serving this population. It concisely and articulately covers the main information a professional must have to deal compassionately and effectively with this population. This book is easy to understand for those of us who do not have advanced psychology degrees and yet specific enough to be of use.This book is on my desk at all times and I refer to it frequently when planning educational experiences for my students and for designing behavioral plans. Ms. Boesky is not only very experienced with juveniles in the corrections population, but she clearly has compassion for dealing with their difficult behaviors. I recommend this book to all teachers, counselors, or social workers who work with teens in any setting.

By	Amy L. Sciangula (Denver, Colorado) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This manual is a must read for anyone working with mentally ill children involved with the juvenile justice system. The disorders are broken down into easy to read, well researched sections. The layout of the manual is very user friendly.
