description: In this revision of the 2000 edition, Capuzzi (counselor education, Portland State U., Oregon) and Gross (emeritus, Arizona State U.) define youth at risk and introduce the main themes of prevention of, and intervention in, the risky behaviors of this vulnerable population. The 17 chapters offer diverse perspectives on topics including dysfunctional families, teens with AIDS, suicide, gangs, school violence, and homeless youth. A chapter on resilience offers an alternative view of youth at promise. Annotation ©2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
