her research and creative writing added significantly to the final product Christina Leber was the primary contributor to the Appendix My academic colleagues, Jose Ashford and Judy Krysik, read drafts of some chapters and advised me along the way Together, all of you helped me plow through and meet my final deadline for completion of the manuscript www.Ebook777.com References 191 Greenberg, J S., Kim, W H., & Greenley, J R (2010) Factors associated with subjective burden in siblings of adults with severe mental illness American Journal of Orthopsychiatry, 67, 231–214 Greenberg, M (2008) Hurry Down Sunshine New York: Random House Hall, G S (1904) Adolescence: Its Psychology and Its Relation to Physiology, Anthropology, Sociology, Sex, Crime, Religion, and Education (Vols I & II) Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Prentice-Hall Hammer, S (1991) By Her Own Hand: Memoirs of a Suicide’s Daughter New York: Vintage Books Hanh, T N (1975) The Miracle of Mindfulness Boston, MA: Beacon Press Hansen, M., Litzelman, A., Marsh, D T., & Milspaw, A (2004) Approaches to serious emotional disturbance: Involving multiple systems Professional Psychology: Research and Practice, 35, 463 Hansson, R., & Nelson, E (1990) Adult children with frail elderly parents Family Relations, 39, 153–159 Harrington, A (2009) The Cure Within: A History of Mind–Body Medicine New York: W W Norton Harris, J R (1998) The Nuture Assumption: Why Children Turn Out the Way They Do New York: Free Press Hinshaw, S P (2005) The stigmatization of mental illness in children and parents: Developmental issues, family concerns, and research needs Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 46, 714–734 Hoagwood, K E., Cavaleri, M A., Serene Olin, S., Burns, B J., Slaton, E., Gruttadaro, D., & Hughes, R (2010) Family support in children’s mental health: A review and synthesis Clinical Child and Family Psychology, 13, 1–45 Hoagwood, K., & Erwin, H (1997) Effectiveness of school-based mental health services for children: A 10-year research review Journal of Child and Family Studies, 6, 435–451 Hochschild, A (1979) Emotion work, feeling rules, and social structure American Journal of Sociology, 85, 551–575 Hochschild, A (1983) The Managed Heart: Commercialization of Human Feeling Berkeley, CA: University of California Press Hoffman, J (June 1, 2008) When thumbs up is no comfort: Treating illness with a smile and metaphor The New York Times Horwitz, A V., & Wakefield, J C (2007) The Loss of Sadness: How Psychiatry Transformed Normal Sorrow into Depressive Disorder New York: Oxford University Press Horwitz, S M., Hoagwood, K., Stiffman, A R., Summerfeld, T., Weisz, J R., Costello, E J., Rost, K., Bean, D L., Cottler, L., Leaf, P J., Roper, M., & Norquist, G (2001) Reliability of the services assessment for children and adolescents Psychiatric Services, 52, 1088–1094 Howell, E (2004) Access to children’s mental health services under Medicaid and SCHIP The Urban Institute http://www.urban.org/uploadedPDF/311053 _B-60.pdf Huang, L., Stroul, B., Friedman, R., Mrazek, P., Friesen, B., Pires, S., & Mayberg, S (2005) Transforming mental health care for children and their families American Psychologist, 60, 615–627 Hughes, R (2003) Running with Walker: A Memoir London: Jessica Kingsley Jamison, K R (1997) An Unquiet Mind New York: Vintage 192 References Jensen, A., & Weisz, J R (2002) Assessing the match and mismatch between practitioner-generated and standardized interview-generated diagnoses for clinic referred for children and adolescents Journal of Clinical and Consulting Psychology, 70, 158–168 Jensen, P (1999) Are stimulants overprescribed?
