Book Description
In Effects of Psychotherapy with Children and Adolescents, the authors provide an authoritative overview of the practice and study of child and adolescent psychotherapy. Research findings on the effects of child psychotherapy are pooled through the use of meta-analytic procedures and then analyzed and summarized by the authors. They discuss methods for increasing the effectiveness of everyday therapy and offer suggestions for future research. "This short book should be carefully read and its message thoroughly internalized by every professional who is involved in any way in either deciding about therapy for a child, vending or providing therapy for children, evaluating therapy for children, and imposing therapy on children." --Issues in Child Abuse Accusations "Overall, the book is an excellent orientation to the question of the effectiveness of psychological interventions for children and provides a good set of directions for future research. Although most of the material is available elsewhere in the form of individual articles, this highly accessible comparison and synthesis of outcomes is worthwhile reading for practicing clinicians and researchers alike. . . . The book would be a very suitable introduction to questions concerning the efficacy of therapy for children and adolescents. It should be essential reading for clinicians in training who plan to work with children, and is a useful integration of the research literature for researchers and practitioners as well." --Contemporary Psychology

Book Description
`I recommend this book to anyone who lives or works with families, children or teenagers′ - Nurturing Potential `This is a valuable book, worth attention in every child and family service. My own agency has ordered a copy!′ - Robert Cumming, Nurturing Potential `John Sharry′s book is a jewel in the solution-focused literature. It is clearly and engagingly written, draws on a host of ideas from different therapeutic approaches and is packed with practical examples. There is no better book on strengths-based therapy with children and adolescents. Every team should have one′ - Chris Iveson, Brief Therapy Practice Counselling Children, Adolescents and Families describes an innovative approach to therapeutic work which builds on the strengths of children and their parents. As the author′s experience shows, helping clients to focus on potential solutions rather than problems can be a powerful means of engaging them in the therapeutic process, even in the most conflicting family circumstances. Harnessing the client′s personal, family and community resources in this way also helps counteract their feelings of powerlessness and the possibility of increasing reliance on professional services. Part One outlines the basic principles of a solution-focused and strengths-based approach, tackling such thorny issues as how and when to use diagnosis. Part two describes creative applications of the approach, using groupwork, play-based activities and video feedback. Part Three, examines practical issues which arise in more ′difficult′ cases, such as child abuse and suicidal teenagers and children. This book is aimed at professionals and trainees in fields including social work, mental health, childcare, education, psychotherapy and counselling.

Book Description
Adolescent Counselling Psychology: Theory Research and Practice provides a thorough introduction to therapeutic practice with young people. As an edited text, it brings together some of the leading authorities on such work into one digestible volume. The text is divided into three major sections.The first provides a context to therapeutic work with young people. This outlines the historical background to such work, the types of settings in which individuals work and the allied professions that they will encounter. Following on from this, the second section introduces the psychology of adolescence and provides an overview of the research into youth counselling. Finally, the third section considers more applied issues. Initially the infrastructure of counselling services is discussed before moving on to reflect upon pluralistic therapeutic practice. To end, the ways in which outcomes may be assessed in such work are described. In covering such a wide territory this text acts as an essential resource to practicing counselling psychologists and other mental health professionals. It provides a foundation to the work that individuals are undertaking in this arena and advocates that individuals enter into therapeutic work in a critically informed way. At the heart of such considerations is the need to utilise psychological theory alongside research findings to inform therapeutic decision making.
