Family Connections provides a detailed description of the Treatment Foster Care model developed by Dr. Patricia Chamberlain at the Oregon Social Learning Center.

The primary focus is on the Monitor Program, an intervention for youths with a history of chronic delinquency who are at risk for placement in state training schools.

This practical book provides detailed information on the day-to-day workings of the Monitor Program and examines related clinical and theoretical issues.

Family Connections is a valuable resource for psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, counselors, and criminal justice workers who are seeking alternatives to group treatment approaches.

- from The Wall Street Journal, Friday, October 23, 1998.

"The [Monitor] program takes a U-turn away from the traditional
approach: It helps violent kids change by keeping them away
from other problem kids and teaching them the social skills
and discipline they will need to be accepted by well-adjusted
peers and adults."
