 |
Parent-adolescent discord is often handled
from a unitary perspective, whether the focus is on enhancing parenting skills, resolving
conflicts in family relationships, or working to improve the behavior of the individual
child. This important work shows the clinician how to incorporate all of these crucial
elements into a single, research-based treatment program. Presented is the authors'
influential integration of cognitive-behavioral constructs and family systems theory,
grounded in consideration of adolescent developmental concerns. The book describes
effective ways to conceptualize and assess the problems of embattled parents and teens;
use assessment data in treatment planning; overcome resistance and other therapeutic
hurdles; and implement carefully sequenced skills training, cognitive restructuring, and
functional/structural interventions. The theoretical and empirical bases of the treatment
approach are also discussed in depth.
