Book Effects of Psychotherapy with Children and Adolescents

Download or read book Effects of Psychotherapy with Children and Adolescents written by John R. Weisz and published by SAGE Publications, Incorporated. This book was released on 1993-02-04 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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

In twelve remarkable case studies, verbatim transcripts of individual play-therapy sessions are brought to life through running commentary on techniques and theory and a fine-grained analysis of what worked, what didn’t, and what else the clinician could have done to make the session as productive as possible. Clinicians will come away from the book with a unique window into how other therapists actually work as well as new tools for engaging children and adolescents in process-oriented treatment. They’ll also be guided through an exploration of common questions such as how else could I have handled that situation? What other paths could I have tried? Where might those other paths have led? What treatment strategies are most advantageous to my patients’ growth – and to my own?
