Brendtro LK, Brokenleg M, Van Bokern S. 2002. Reclaiming youth at risk: Our hope for the future (Rev. ed.). Bloomington, IN: National Educational Service, 160 pp.

Annotation: This book focuses on the interactions between high risk adolescents and their environments rather than the traits of the troubled youths. There are three sections. The first focuses on destructive relationships; feelings of insecurity, inadequacy, and failure; powerlessness and learned irresponsibility, and the sense of lost purpose. The second section summarizes a Native American philosophy of child rearing. The final section outlines principles and approaches for working with high risk adolescents.
