Annotation: This book contains case studies on local systems of care for children and adolescents with serious emotional disturbances and their families. The case studies were developed by identifying and studying communities which have made substantial progress toward developing comprehensive, coordinated, community-based systems of care for children and adolescents with severe emotional disturbances and their families. Potential sites for inclusion in this study were identified through a process of consultation with key informants. Through these contacts, approximately 20 communities were identified as having made significant progress toward the development of community-based systems of care consistent with the philosophy and principles which have been promoted by the Child and Adolescent Service System Program (CASSP), which are listed in the book.
