FROM THE PREFACE: ‘This book is designed for youth workers and those who intend to be youth workers. The term youth workers is deliberately vague, since this career is chosen by people of extremely varied backgrounds, experience, and education, and so it should be. The job is too significant to our society's future to allow one category of professional or paraprofessional to be labeled as the experts and the rest as the followers. This book is for those who face daily the enormous problems of extremely disturbed youths. This includes those working in mental health, youth corrections, social services, education, law enforcement, etc. This does not mean that anyone can be a youth worker. In fact, it is the author's opinion that the percentage of potential human services workers who have the abilities and skills necessary to work successfully with troubled youth is small. Chapters 5 and 6 discuss some of the personality characteristics necessary for quality performance…”
