520    Violence in the Lives of Adolescents provides answers to 
       some of the most pressing questions about today's youth: 
       Why is there so much violence in their lives? Why is so 
       little being done about it? What can be done to shape 
       safer lives for adolescents? How can therapists evaluate 
       and treat an adolescent who has been touched by violence? 
520 8  The author describes the book's theoretical framework as 
       the ecology of violence; therapists can intervene to stop 
       violence on any of four ecological levels - individual, 
       family, community, social policy. Following a brief 
       history of adolescence in America, Chapter 1 explores the 
       effects of violence on normal adolescent and family 
       development. 
520 8  Chapters 2 through 6 present five case studies, which 
       illustrate the ecological approach to five crucial issues:
       suicide attempts, sexual abuse/running away, delinquency, 
       juvenile sexual offending, and physical abuse of 
       adolescents. For each case the author not only presents 
       theory and research, but also demonstrates the process of 
       individual and family treatment. 
520 8  . The final two chapters discuss community and self-help 
       approaches and social policy, development as ways for 
       curbing adolescent violence. Action at these two higher 
       ecological levels, community and social policy, influence 
       the extent to which violence will shape the lives of 
       adolescents; these two chapters suggest that today's 
       victims are not inevitably tomorrow's victims and 
       offenders. 
520 8  Despite the difficulties of living with, working with, and
       being an adolescent, this developmental period offers 
       wonderful opportunities to break the cycle of violence. To
       intervene most effectively, therapists have to be able to 
       view violence through personal, professional, and 
       political lenses. This book offers a way to put what we 
       know, and what works, into action.
