This comprehensive book introduces and integrates adolescent
developmental themes and family system theory into a coherent
assessment and intervention model. Author Mark Worden views the
adolescent as active in shaping the family interactions as much as
the family is influential in shaping the adolescent's behavior. He
takes a pragmatic approach to therapy, emphasizing what best
explains the clinical phenomena and what works best for change. To
this end, a heavy emphasis is placed on the process of evaluation
and intervention of adolescents and their families with typical
therapeutic dilemmas. This practical book is organized to take the
reader through the first evaluation interview, through the planning
of intervention strategies, and through the beginning, middle, and
termination phases of treatment. Case examples bring Adolescents
and Their Families to life, highlighting conceptual discussions.
Topics discussed in this important book range from the integration
of adolescent and family psychology, to the employment of a
contextual-dialectic ("goodness-of-fit") paradigm to evaluate
adolescent-family interface, to matching the intervention with the
family. A step-by-step discussion of the first interview and
diverse intervention strategies are discussed, as are frequent
clinical syndromes--acting-out, underachievement, eating disorders,
divorce/single parenthood, depression, and suicide. Graduate
students and clinicians will find this appealing book an ideal
resource, as will experienced therapists beginning to work with
adolescents and families. The book will also serve as an excellent
primary or ancillary text for graduate courses in psychotherapy
with adolescents and in family therapy courses. High school
guidance counselors, social workers, and psychologists will also
find many valuable applications in this timely book.
