Working with Challenging Youth
Working with Challenging Youth, Second Edition is a practical, reader-friendly guide through the pitfalls and problems that arise when working with at-risk youth. As in the first edition, the new Working with Challenging Youth builds on a solid theoretical base in reality therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy, solution-focused therapy, systems theory, and humanistic philosophy to answer the question, "What distinguishes the really effective professionals from the rest?"
This second edition includes new sections on specialised, evidence-based approaches such as dialectical behaviour therapy, mindfulness, collaborative problem-solving, motivational interviewing, and multisystemic therapy. This book also offers seven guiding principles and 50 specific lessons to help bridge the gap between helping professionals and youth.
