ElusivE AlliAncE TrEATmEnT EngAgEmEnT STrATEgIES WITh hIgh-rISk AdOLEScEnTS Edited by David castro-Blanco and Marc s. Karver For some time now, the therapeutic alliance has served as a clinically significant “common factor” in positive outcomes for adult clients in most all types of psychotherapy. Yet among adolescents, the alliance has garnered interest among clinicians and researchers only relatively recently, particularly in cases of “high-risk” adolescents—teens who need mental health treatment services for a variety of disorders peculiar to this age group (e.g., anxiety disorders, depression, externalizing/ disruptive behavioral disorders, etc.) but do not have access to these services or drop out of treatment prematurely. By getting a picture of the current state of the field while also getting an in-depth analysis of a few specific programs of research supported by evidence examining adolescent engagement, researchers and clinicians alike will be able to establish a more robust knowledge base that serves to advance future treatment process research on how to engage the challenging and underserved population of high-risk adolescents. Beyond the practical appeal to researchers and clinicians, this book will be of vital interest to scholars, practitioners, and policymakers at all levels who are involved in making mental health service delivery for youth more accessible and more cost-effective. 2010. 272 pages.
