Young People and Mental Health

Young People and Mental Health by Peter Aggleton

Mental health problems and disorders among adolescents are an increasingly endemic problem, causing anxiety and distress for young people themselves, challenges for the health care professional, social worker, teachers and parents, and demands on the managed care system. This is the only book of its kind to offer a comprehensive yet accessible introduction to this topical and rapidly developing field.

"This book is a welcome addition to an increasing literature on what is a broad subject" (Community Care)

"the book can be recommended for youth workers in the field of health, education and social work..." (International Jnl. of Adolesc. Med. Health, Vol 12/1, 2000)

"I recommend this book to anyone working with young people and urge you not just to read about your particular interests but to gain from the whole...." (British Journal of Guidance Counselling, Vol 29/2, 2001)

"...straightforward, accessible guide..thought provoking and informative..." (Behavioural & Cognitive Psychotherapy, April 2001)

“…serious and scholarly…a valuable resource…” (Metapsychology online 21/06/04)
