SYNOPSIS
Minnesota-based psychologist Thompson interviews 17 social workers who meet teen-age groups on street corners in their own natural environment. They try to develop a close association with them and get to know their needs as a group and as individuals, then help them engage in socially acceptable activities and change undesirable attitudes and patterns of behavior. Published simultaneously as vol. 19, no. 2 (1999). Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
