The Handbook of Child and Adolescent Systems of Care

"I consider the Handbook of Child and Adolescent Systems of Care edited by Drs Andres Pumariega and Nancy Winters, an outstanding contribution for its clarity, depth, and breadth in the topics covered. They have assembled an impressive list of chapter authors, each well known for their expertise in specific areas. The Handbook, while of encyclopedic dimensions, reads well and traverses the span of thought from early efforts in the field to current developments."

"This rich resource for mental health professionals and others who work
with seriously emotionally troubled children and their families distills the most hopeful lessons from two decades of children's mental health reform. It provides multiple perspectives on systems change, balancing principles and clinical insights with compelling lessons from real world efforts that can serve as a map and inspiration for others."
