About This Website
Offered free of charge by The Annenberg Foundation Trust at Sunnylands and Oxford University Press, this fully-searchable, updated electronic edition of Treating and Preventing Adolescent Mental Health Disorders provides quick and easy access to a groundbreaking, evidence-based survey of treatments and preventions for adolescents with mental health disorders.
This resource features the findings of commissions comprised of leading psychiatrists and clinical psychologists on adolescent anxiety, schizophrenia, substance use disorders, depression and bipolar disorders, eating disorders, and suicide. Coverage includes thorough definitions of each disorder, outlines and assessments of available treatments, prevention strategies, and suggestions for research agendas based on what we know and don't yet know about these various conditions.
As a meaningful counterpoint to its primary focus on mental illness, this work also incorporates the latest research from a commission on positive youth development, which addresses how we can fully prepare young people to be happy and successful throughout their lives.
