Therapeutic case advocacy: a model for interagency collaboration in serving emotionally disturbed children and their families.
A model for the creation of a system of care for emotionally handicapped children and their families is presented. The model delineates a framework for modifying environments and for identifying the clinical skills necessary to do so. Coordination of the efforts of both formal organizations and natural support systems is seen as an essential component of the proposed system.
