Kempley, Frances A.; And Others
This document consists of Part 3 of a book of readings on at-risk youth designed to provide information and strategies for counselors, teachers, parents, administrators, social workers, and others who work with youth at risk.

"The Secret and All-Consuming Obsessions: Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa" (Frances Kempley & Wanda Weber) addresses anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa from a female perspective, stresses signs and symptoms that alert the helping professional, and presents theories of both causation and treatment to deal with the problem.

Exemplary prevention and intervention programs are presented. "No Guarantee of Immunity: AIDS and Adolescents" (Lizbeth Gray & Reese House) provides information on Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome needed by the helping professional who works with adolescents. "'I Don't Want to Live': Suicidal Behavior" (Dave Capuzzi & Douglas Gross) considers the extent of the problem, signs and symptoms, and causation and treatment modalities. "Tough Enough: Gang Membership" (Alcena Boozer) examines the youth gang phenomenon, presenting information on youth especially at risk of gang involvement. "'Why Say No?': Substance Abuse Among Teenagers" (Sharon Robinson) examines adolescent substance abuse from a variety of perspectives--psychosocial, historical/legal, and psychophysiological. (NB)
