Description
Bronagh Starrs offers a unique understanding of adolescent development and therapy in this groundbreaking book. Drawing on relational-phenomenological Gestalt principles, she provides a fresh perspective on how adolescents' presenting issues are rooted in compromised lifespace integrity. Starrs explores the impact of various life contexts, including family configuration, grief, adoption, and emerging sexual orientation and gender experience, on adolescent development. She also delves into therapeutic responses to common challenges faced by teenagers, such as anxiety, depression, self-harm, and substance use. This book is an invaluable resource for counsellors and psychotherapists seeking to deepen their understanding of working with adolescents. Suitable for both experienced practitioners and students of counselling and psychotherapy, Adolescent Psychotherapy: A Radical Relational Approach provides essential strategies for supporting adolescent integrity repair and navigating the complexities of therapy with teenagers.
