DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Tackling the difficult issues facing those who work with traumatized and sometimes dangerous young people and their families, this new volume shows how professionals can bring about positive change and growth through the creation of "holding" and healing therapeutic environments. This collection of papers written by established and respected experts with extensive practice and research experience builds a powerful picture of the theory and practice of therapeutic community work with young people. A wide variety of therapeutic community approaches is considered alongside an analysis of the implications of this model for mainstream residential practice. Social work, health care and education professionals will find the text invaluable for its presentation of a well-founded analysis of their work with these most damaged and desperate children and young people.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Many children and adolescents face developmental or situational difficulties in areas where they live most of their meaningful experiences—at home, at school, and in the community. While adults who struggle with life events and stressors may look to professional help, young individuals are quite alone in coping with these situations. Perhaps unsurprisingly, most children and adolescents typically do not seek such help, and often resist it when offered. Author Zipora Shechtman has written this detailed text advocating group counseling and psychotherapy as a viable means of addressing these issues if we are to ensure the psychological wellness of children in society. Group Counseling and Psychotherapy With Children and Adolescents is arranged in four parts. Its chapters explore topics including: *who needs group counseling and psychotherapy; *therapeutic factors in children's groups; *activities in the group; *pre-group planning and forming a group; and *how to enhance emotional experiencing and group support. This text is a principal source of information for counseling psychology students, researchers, and practitioners working with young people, in addition to social workers, teachers, and parents.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Most courses in counseling, social work, therapy, and clinical psychology programs lump clinical work with "children and adolescents" together into a single unit while the social, emotional, physical, and neurobiological development of youth is often only a portion of a development course that covers the entire human lifespan. The consequence is twofold: department chairs, accrediting agencies, administrators, and faculty are tasked with covering too much content in too few course hours; and graduate students and beginning practitioners are woefully unprepared for working with difficult populations, including teenagers and young adults. Evidence-Based Psychotherapy with Adolescents helps new clinicians working in any treatment setting learn how to conduct psychotherapy with adolescents from a place of understanding and empathy. In addition to addressing adolescent development, psychological theories in practice, neurobiology of adolescents, clinical assessment, and evidence-based treatment approaches for a range of common mental health concerns, the text explains how to build therapeutic alliances with adolescent clients and work with vulnerable populations commonly seen in treatment. A complete guide that empowers readers with the insight and tools necessary to support adolescents as they progress towards adulthood, this book effectively builds the core skill sets of students and new clinicians in social work, psychology, psychiatry, and marriage and family therapy.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Although youth mental health providers often target a broad range of youth, family, and contextual concerns, outcome measurement has typically been limited to youth symptoms and functioning. Parent and family outcomes have been assessed in several controlled child psychotherapy trials, but in few adolescent trials, particularly among adolescents receiving "real-world" community-based care. This study addresses this gap by examining parent and family outcomes in 170 families of male and female adolescents (ages 11 to 18) receiving publicly-funded outpatient mental health treatment in San Diego County. Associations between adolescent, parent, and family outcomes are examined, as well as treatment characteristics that predict outcomes. High levels of parent and family problems were observed at both youth treatment entry and 6-month follow-up. For example, 60% of parents' intake CES-D scores reflected depression symptoms in the clinical range, improving to only 51% at follow-up. Significant improvements were observed in caregiver strain and parent-reported family relationship quality, but not in parental depression, perceived social support, or adolescent-reported family relationship quality. Parent and family changes were correlated with adolescent changes, with the strongest association between reduction of adolescent externalizing problems and reductions in parental strain and depression. Therapist endorsement of family systems theoretical orientation predicted greater reduction of parental strain. Better parent-therapist alliance was associated with better parental depression, strain and family relationship outcomes. Other treatment characteristics (number of sessions, type of treatment goals, parental expectations) did not predict parent or family outcomes. These findings evidence the high level of distress among parents and families of adolescents receiving community-based mental health treatment and indicate that significant but moderate improvements in family contextual concerns occur during the course of youth treatment. Increased attention to family concerns may be critical for improving the effectiveness of "real world" youth mental health treatment, in order to create more stable family environments in which youths' therapeutic gains can be fostered and maintained.
