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…”

FROM THE INTRODUCTION OF VOLUME 1: “This book addresses the legal issues that affect the mentally disordered inmate. Charters 1 and 2 set out the boundaries of the problem and give an overview of the legal issues generally. Chapters 3 and 4 provide a broad review of the laws governing the legal identity and basic rights of prisoners, including the right to treatment where a serious medical need exists and how that right carries over to a serious mental disorder. Subsequent chapters address in greater detail the problems in these areas and the legal discussions and holdings pertaining to them. The chapters provide extensive citations to leading cases and specific guidance on the legal obligations and duties of those who supervise or treat mentally disordered inmates, the rights of the incarcerated mentally ill, and best policies and practices. Problems related to specific populations are treated in detail. For example, Chapter 20 covers juvenile detainees and inmates and the special situations to which their cases can give rise. Chapter 21 covers sexual predators, discussing among other things the legal complexities associated with the rise of sex offender treatment programs.
