“Positive Youth Development: What Clinicians, Researchers, and Educations Need to Know”
Richard M. Lerner, PhD
Bergstrom Chair of Applied Developmental Science; Director, Institute of Applied Research in Youth Development; Eliot-Person Department of Child Development, Tufts University

“Contemporary developmental science is framed by dynamic systems theories of human development, models that emphasize the plasticity of development that derives from mutually influential relations between individuals and the multiple levels of organization of the ecology of human development. Plasticity constitutes a fundamental strength of human development and legitimates optimism that relations between individuals and contexts may be identified or promoted in order to enhance the probability of positive, healthy human development. Over the past 15 years, this strength–based approach to human development has given rise to a new vision of and approach to research and applications pertinent to adolescent development. Termed the positive youth development (PYD) perspective, this approach counters deficit models of adolescence that, in earlier eras, have been predominant conceptual lenses for research, programs, and policies pertinent to this age period. The historical and theoretical bases and key hypotheses associated with the PYD perspective, and the results of a national, longitudinal study testing the ideas associated with the PYD perspective, the 4-H Study of PYD, will be presented. Implications for research, for practice, and for advocacy in support of promoting positive development among diverse youth will be discussed.

New England CCBD 2007
Dear Colleagues,
I have developed this edublog as a means of creating a presence on the web for our organization. Our parent organization, The Council for Children with Behavior Disorders (CCBD) can be found at http://www.ccbd.net. At this website you can find a vast array of information about CCBD, current information on advocacy issues relating to IDEIA 2004, conference information as well as our great journals, Behavioral Disorders and Beyond Behavior. I welcome you all to visit it if you have not done so.
In 2005 I have a first contact with many of you and then 2006 came and we were unable to see up a meeting with the executive committee. I am again trying to get those who responded plus anyone of you who would like to be an active member to try and revive our presence. As part of the 2007 effort my hope is to:
1. Post on this blog professional development events from various areas with a particular focus on Boston where I live.
2. Post any other professional development opportunities you send me in order to keep everyone abreast of opportunities
3. Work closely with MACEC as the National Conference approaches in 2008 here in Boston, MA
4. Post possible discussion topics, lates research or other topics
5. Do mass emails to you letting you content has been added (although you can do this yourself with an RSS feed)
Please feel free to post at anytime on the blog and share it with others as you see fit. Please remember that by supporting CEC and national CCBD we can continue to receive our valuable journals Behavior Disorders and Beyond Behavior.
Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns at rinaldic@bc.edu
Sincerely,
Claudia Rinaldi

“Advancing Multicultural Understanding of Child and Adolescent Psychopathology: Comparisons of Findings from Many Societies”
Thomas M. Achenbach, PhD
Professor of Psychiatry and Psychology, University of Vermont
“Throughout the world, children and those who work with them are increasingly affected by the mixing, blending, and clashing of cultures. Equally important, there is a growing internationalization of training, research, services, and communication pertaining to children’s mental health. In view of the needs and opportunities for multicultural perspectives, this presentation will provide detailed comparisons of findings on child and adolescent psychopathology assessed with the same standardized assessment procedures in many very different societies.”
