Abstract
Black, inner city, indigent youth present clinicians with an array of psychological, educational, social, economic, and behavioral problems that defy traditional treatment methods. City Lights is described as a comprehensive day treatment model that has the potential to succeed with high-risk youth. The program utilizes a self-paced computer-assisted education program within the context of a therapeutic community. Innovative strategies have been developed to accomplish both academic remediation and emotional development. Academic competence is seen as an essential component of psychological well-being.
