"This is a terrific book. Scheier and Hansen bring forward an authoritative, comprehensive, and clinically valuable volume. Top-tier researchers and intervention developers present their own work, summarize the major developments connecting parenting practices and youth drug use, and specify a road map for family-based prevention and treatment professionals and scientists." -Howard A. Liddle, EdD, ABPP, Professor and Director, Department of Public HealthSciences and Center for Treatment Research on Adolescent Drug Abuse, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine"This vade mecum will prove indispensable to the practitioner, researcher, and policymaker who needs access to the latest approaches and empirical evidence on the nexus of parenting and drug use among youth. Scheier and Hansen have done a great service to the field in compiling into a single volume the corpus of practical, scientific knowledge in this area."-Steven Schinke, PhD, D'Elbert and Selma Keenan Professor of Social Work, Columbia University"This book thoroughly covers the topic of parenting and teen drug use. It is easy to read and full of research findings. The authors address theoretical arguments of parenting styles and the relationship to substance use in adolescence, along with presenting prevention and treatment programs. This book should be in the libraries of clinicians who work with teenagers and families." --Gary B Kaniuk, Psy.D., Doody's Health Science Book Review
