"Many books seek to explain adolescent aggression by focusing either on individual psychological problems or on environmental factors, such as violent video games or access to guns. This one takes a crucial step further to explore the complex interplay of individual, family, community, and societal forces that lead some adolescents to hurt others or themselves. Offering a fresh perspective on treatment, the volume sets forth an overarching framework and numerous specific strategies for working with at-risk teens and their families." "Drawing on extensive research and clinical experience, the authors identify four critical factors that foster violence among youth: devaluation, erosion of community, dehumanized loss, and rage. Effective ways to address each of these factors in clinical and school settings are described and illustrated with evocative case material."--BOOK JACKET.
