Based upon and adapted from Aaron T. Beck's cognitive therapy for
depressed adults, this long-awaited volume provides general
strategies and specific tactics for the use of cognitive therapy
with depressed adolescents. Featuring strategies derived from years
of clinical work and repeated testing, Cognitive Therapy for
Depressed Adolescents provides patient-therapist narratives that
convey a clinical feel for how this therapy works, as well as
actual case vignettes illustrating effective techniques for
diagnosis and treatment. Throughout, the book stresses that the
approach be both interactive and educational. The manual opens with
a theoretical overview of cognitive therapy applications. Chapters
present then key principles of cognitive therapy with adolescents
and techniques for assessing and diagnosing depression. Part II
focuses on special issues that arise in the treatment of
adolescents - developmental considerations, ways to create and
sustain a therapeutic relationship, and how to involve the entire
family in the adolescent's treatment. Part III describes the
macrostages and microtechniques in cognitive therapy, with chapters
presenting an in-depth analysis of goal setting, intervention, and
termination. Part IV discusses comorbidity and strategies for
working with substance-abusing teenagers, survivors of sexual
victimization, and suicidal adolescents. Although the emphasis of
this manual is on outpatient treatment, brief periods of
hospitalization are often part of the management of depressed
adolescents, so one chapter in Part V is devoted to the use of
cognitive techniques in the inpatient setting, and another
describes general management issues and
psychopharmacologicaltreatment. Finally, the last chapter considers
therapeutic failures and obstacles one encounters when working with
this population. Providing guidelines and principles of cognitive
therapy techniques for the treatment of depressed adolescents, this
volume will be of value to psychotherapists, psychiatrists,
psychologists, social workers, and counselors. These adapted
techniques will also add to the repertoire of cognitive therapists
who normally work with depressed adults but also encounter
adolescents in their practice. Useful as a teaching text in courses
that discuss new applications for cognitive therapy techniques,
this book is also ideal supplemental reading in courses on
psychology and psychotherapy.
