Every teenager rebels against authority at some point--talks back, breaks curfew, or disobeys. But literally millions of teens take their rebellion to a point where it disrupts their families and endangers their own futures or even their lives. If one of these teens is yours, you've probably lived through years of conflicting advice and pat solutions that don't last. Finally, this breakthrough guide from a master therapist will show you the seven steps to positive, permanent change for you and your teenager:
1. Learn the real reasons for teen misbehavior. 2. Make an ironclad contract to stop that behavior. 3. Troubleshoot future problems. 4. End button-pushing. 5. Stop the "seven aces" -- from disrespect to threats of violence. 6. Mobilize outside help. 7. Reclaim lost love within the family.
Clear, compassionate, and packed with real-life solutions to real-life problems, this book gives parents the tools they need to turn their families' lives around for good.
... a well rounded road map for healing the trauma wounds... As a
child psychiatrist with over 35 years of practice, I can only say I
wish I had a guide like this when I was starting out. Highly
recommended!"" - Scott Shannon, MD author of Mental Health for the
Whole Child A step-by-step approach to trauma-informed treatment.
This is the first book that addresses trauma treatment for child
and adolescents using a Family Systems Trauma (FST) model which
goes beyond individual therapy to include the child and their
entire family. Co-written by a renowned family therapist who
created the Parenting with Love and Limits (R) model, it delivers a
research-based , step-by-step approach that incorporates the
child's immediate family along with their extended family to treat
the traumatized child or adolescent. Using a ""stress chart,"" the
child or adolescent's trauma symptoms are quickly identified. This
strategy guides therapists in accurately diagnosing root causes of
the child's trauma and culminates in the creation of co-created
""wound playbooks"" to heal trauma in both the child as well as
other family members. Additional helpful features include extensive
case examples, a menu of trauma techniques, wound playbook
examples, evaluation forms, client handouts, and other practical
tools to provide the therapist with a complete guide to
implementing this approach. Child and family therapists, social
workers, mental health counselors, and psychologists working in a
variety of settings will find this book a valuable resource. Key
Features: Provides a step-by-step, practice focused, time-limited
model Uses a family systems approach for addressing child and
adolescent trauma--the only book of its kind Includes useful tools
such as checklists, client handouts, and evaluation forms
This book illuminates the causes of severe adolescent behavioral
problems and presents a research-based, 15-step model for helping
families bring about meaningful change. Incorporating structural
and strategic principles, the author's cohesive approach focuses on
setting clear rules and consequences; changing the mood and
direction of confrontations; neutralizing such problem behaviors as
disrespect, truancy, running away, violence, and threats of
suicide; and restoring positive, nurturing family relationships.
Special treatment issues covered include adolescent substance abuse
and managing problems that arise in single-parent and divorced
families, as well as ways to collaborate effectively with outside
systems. Featuring a wealth of illustrative case examples and
reproducible materials, this is an indispensable clinical guidebook
and text.
