| Abstract | "In an earlier book (Sprinson and Berrick, 2010) we described a model for intervention with system-involved children and their families. This model was an effort to integrate three quite different ways of thinking and quite different approaches to assessment and intervention into a single, unified framework. The three "streams" gathered together in this model were relational, behavioral and ecological. The relational stream leveraged key insights from attachment theory. The behavioral stream was a fairly direct application of intervention concepts from learning theory. The ecological stream was described as a "fundamental third leg" of assessment and intervention, complementing the relational and behavioral streams. The discussion of the ecological stream, though, could barely have been more minimal. It consisted of only a handful of sentences and the briefest possible explanation. In contrast, the first two legs of what we came to call the "three stream model", the relational and behavioral approaches, received entire chapters that attempted to drill deeply into their theoretical roots and their research evidence and offered at least some concrete methodological direction for programs and teams. A discerning reader could have easily concluded that such a discussion of the ecological stream was little more than a placeholder, an effort to mark some territory for future exploration. Such a reader would have been correct"-- Provided by publisher. |
