Description

In Therapy with Troubled Teenagers, Bob Bertolino describes his unique approach to treating adolescents and their families. He applies possibility-oriented interventions that focus on eliciting, evoking, and highlighting the strengths of clients, as opposed to their pathology and deficits. This approach, which is collaborative, resource-focused, respectful, and generally brief, is a highly effective type of therapy for young people at this fragile stage of life. Bertolino has collaborated with Bill O'Hanlon - pioneer in solution-oriented and possibility therapies, and the author of the Foreword for this book - and has expanded on and applied O'Hanlon's ideas to his work with troubled youth, including juvenile offenders and adolescents with substance-abuse or behavioral problems, with positive and successful results.
