Developmental-Systemic Family Therapy with Adolescents - Terry S (Western Michigan University Trepper - Bog

Teenagers are often a strain on families, and they can pose difficulties even in a family therapy setting. Developmental-Systemic Family Therapy with Adolescents integrates research and theory about adolescent development with different approaches to family therapy. By matching the adolescent client's developmental stage and particular issues with the most effective therapeutic approach, this book enables family therapists to tailor their treatment plan to meet each family's unique needs. Developmental-Systemic Family Therapy with Adolescents examines such specific issues as alcohol/substance abuse, suicide, interpersonal relationships, and self-esteem. Its well-balanced, pragmatic approach to therapy will help you properly assess your clients and offer them the services they need in a form they can accept.To view an excerpt online, find the book in our QuickSearch catalog at www.HaworthPress.com.
