Cognitive Behavioral Interventions for
At-Risk Youth

Barry Glick, Ph.D., NCC, ACS, LMHC


“This book arrives at just the right time—when rehabilitation is enjoying a revival because of  contemporary research on the efficacy of interventions that deal with youths’ thinking errors and that provide cognitive restructuring as well as identifying skill deficits and teaching social skills. It introduces the reader to specific interventions, such as Aggression Replacement Training and Thinking for a Change, that have operated in many successful juvenile correctional programs throughout the country.  This book is essential for treatment programs that are serous about changing delinquent youths’ behavior.”
Ned Loughran, Executive Director, The Council of Juvenile Correctional Administrators

“There is no need for programs to struggle for success.  The answers and evidence to succeed are found here.”
Peter Kinziger, Executive Director, American Association of Community Justice Professionals

  • Choose the right intervention for the populations you serve—whether court-involved juveniles or at-risk youth in the community
  • Solve the common problems that arise when trying to establish a new program
  • Learn the keys to running effective group sessions that stay focused and productive
  • Manage administrative details more effectively—from budgets to quality control
  • Take advantage of user-friendly research and evaluation tools, including a model for assessing program efficacy
  • See how model programs actually work in the field.
