Description: "The capacity to discriminate the different personalities of youths who commit antisocial acts has become so sophisticated that clinicians can now identify subtypes, predict who will behave violently, and come up with strategies for treatments that work. This book presents the most recent advances in this challenging area of clinical practice. Bringing together clinical experience, personal concern, and fluency with the latest research findings, Dr.

Young has written a comprehensive and accessible book for those professionals committed to understanding and rehabilitating antisocial youth."--BOOK JACKET.
