Adolescents are infamous for their rebellious behavior. Indeed,
much of the focus of therapy and clinical intervention with
troubled adolescents focuses on their presumed need to rebel
against their parents as they define their own identities. Yet
psychologist Vivian Center Seltzer argues that approaching work
with adolescent clients with this presumption in mind is likely to
miss the roots of their problem behavior.
Rather than acting out against parental authority, adolescents
in need of clinical help are most often dealing with their
disappointing comparisons with their peers--the most relevant
others to them during this period of their development. Seltzer
explains that it is countless interactions with their peers, at
school and elsewhere outside of the home, that are the primary mode
of psychological and social development for adolescents.
Practitioners must recognize this crucial influence, and perhaps
forgo traditional approaches, in order to better work with their
adolescent clients.
Peer-Impact Diagnosis and Therapy is a practical professional
guide for how to approach and aid troubled teens by accessing the
wealth of insight to be gained from understanding the influence of
peer interactions on development and on behavior. Full of
diagnostic categories and protocols for use with all types of
adolescents, as well as guidance, tips, case studies, and offering
a targeted model for adolescent group therapy, Seltzer provides
professionals with all the tools they need to assist teens on their
road to adulthood.
