Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Written for an audience of applied researchers, clinical practitioners, community activists, and policymakers, this edited volume summarizes ongoing work at the Oregon Social Learning Center. Contributors make a powerful argument for an approach that pinpoints the antecedents of antisocial behavior all the way from toddlerhood through adolescence. This book will be of interest to anyone concerned about the quantifiable losses associated with behaviors such as violence and crime, incarceration, vocational failure, substance abuse, the use of emergency services, and irresponsible sexual conduct. Book News Annotation:The Oregon Social Learning Center in Eugene espouses a coercion
theory about the development of delinquency and other antisocial
behavior. After a brief history of OSLC's 30 years of research, staff
and a Wichita State U. psychology professor explain how such behavior
progresses from early coercive family relations to similar
interactions with others. The rest of the 14 papers discuss social
learning model-based interventions (e.g. multidimensional treatment
foster care, a preventive project linking families and elementary
school teachers, and an adolescent transition program), and future
extensions of these nurture-over-nature models.
