Abstract

The introduction of TCOM in my book Redressing the Emperor: improving our children’s public mental health system (Lyons, Redressing the Emperor: Improving our children’s public behavioral health system, Praeger, 2004) framed the development of the conceptual framework from the perspective of tensions and syndromes. Tensions are competing, unresolvable pressures actively that must be balanced. Syndromes are bad habits arising from these tensions. This chapter updates these tensions and syndromes based on experiences over the past two decades.
