Violence in the Lives of Adolescents

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?

Martha Straus, Ph.D., is a clinical psychologist in private practice with University Associates in Psychology in Keene, New Hampshire.
