First sentence: Developing and implementing effective and cost-efficient intervention services for youths who use alcohol or other drugs and have related problems, including contact with the juvenile justice system, remain critical needs (Sherman et al., 1997).
Description: "This book gives you a detailed review of a National Institute on Drug Abuse-funded, long-term clinical trial of the Family Empowerment Intervention. The subjects are youths who have been arrested and processed at the Hillsborough County Juvenile Assessment Center and their families.

With information on the conceptual foundations and clinical practices of the intervention and an examination of its one-year and longer-term impact on these youths' recidivism and psychosocial functioning, Family Empowerment Intervention: An Innovative Service for High-Risk Youths and Their Families will help you provide better services to these difficult-to-serve clients."--BOOK JACKET.
