Beskrivning

Teen drug use is a critical and timely health issue that deeply affects adolescent development in a number of important areas, including social, cognitive, and affective functioning, as well as long-term health and wellbeing. Trends indicate that drug use is starting at an earlier age, the potency of several drugs is much stronger than in the past, and more new drugs are illegally being manufactured to provide faster, heightened effects. In addition, illegal use of prescription drugs and drug diversion or the sharing of prescription medication is also on the rise amongst teens. Parenting and Teen Drug Use provides comprehensive coverage of the most current research on youth drug use and prevention, carefully and meticulously presenting empirical evidence and theoretical arguments that underlie the mechanisms linking parental socialization and adolescent drug use. Written by leading experts, chapters examine the causes and consequences of drug use, the myriad ways to prevent it, and the latest findings from the prevention research community regarding what works, with a specific emphasis on parenting techniques that have shown the most promise for reducing or preventing drug use in teens. Parenting and Teen Drug Use will provide valuable insight to a wide audience of clinicians, treatment providers, school counselors, prevention experts, social workers, physicians, substance abuse counselors, students, and those who work with youth on a day-to-day basis to influence positive youth adaptation.

"This is a terrific book. Scheier and Hansen bring forward an authoritative, comprehensive, and clinically valuable volume. Top-tier researchers and intervention developers present their own work, summarize the major developments connecting parenting practices and youth drug use, and specify a road map for family-based prevention and treatment professionals and scientists." -Howard A. Liddle, EdD, ABPP, Professor and Director, Department of Public HealthSciences and Center for Treatment Research on Adolescent Drug Abuse, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine"This vade mecum will prove indispensable to the practitioner, researcher, and policymaker who needs access to the latest approaches and empirical evidence on the nexus of parenting and drug use among youth. Scheier and Hansen have done a great service to the field in compiling into a single volume the corpus of practical, scientific knowledge in this area."-Steven Schinke, PhD, D'Elbert and Selma Keenan Professor of Social Work, Columbia University"This book thoroughly covers the topic of parenting and teen drug use. It is easy to read and full of research findings. The authors address theoretical arguments of parenting styles and the relationship to substance use in adolescence, along with presenting prevention and treatment programs. This book should be in the libraries of clinicians who work with teenagers and families." --Gary B Kaniuk, Psy.D., Doody's Health Science Book Review
