Abstract: 

This issue of the Report on Emotional & Behavioral Disorders in Youth includes three papers. The first article, by Barry Glick and Reginald Prince, provides the practitioner with a guide and useful tools to implement cognitive behavioral programs within school settings. The second, by Josephine M. Hawke and Julian D. Ford, focuses on several promising interventions, including adolescent adaptations of interventions that were originally developed for adults with co-occurring substance use and trauma-related disorders that can be used with substance using adolescents. This article reviews the current literature on the psychosocial interventions for the treatment of traumatic stress problems (including simple and complex posttraumatic stress disorder [PTSD], and associated disorders) among substance using adolescents. And the third article, by Maura A. Mulloy, delves into the origins of resilience theory, presents the tenets of resilience theory and shows the theory’s relevance to schools that serve at-risk students. The complete issue also includes a calendar of meetings and our regular review of the research literature, “What’s Hot … What’s Not” by Lorraine Dubuisson.
