Appendix B: 1

APPENDIX B

Reading List for At-Risk Youth

The references in this appendix are practical and applied resources that have been helpful to at-risk children, adolescents, families, and the professionals who work with them. Although all are written toward helping professionals, students, parents, or clients can use them directly. Some are a bit old, but they focus on solidly based theory and can still be extremely helpful. The reader is asked to overlook the sometimes "quaint" language and dated examples and focus on the essential concepts.
