Pathways to Change
Brief Therapy Solutions with Difficult Adolescents
Matthew D. Selekman
Few therapists dispute the difficulties in treating "troublesome" or
"reluctant" adolescents. Filling a gap in the literature, this volume
specifically addresses the clinician's needs for working with this difficult population.
Matthew D. Selekman presents a Solution-Oriented Brief Family Therapy approach, a highly
pragmatic and innovative therapy model for working with these challenging cases.
Encouraging therapeutic improvisation and incorporating the use of humor, Selekman
demonstrates how the clinician can capitalize on the strengths and resources of family
members, peers, and other involved mental health professionals to resolve the client's
presenting problems rapidly. His approach artfully integrates cutting edge therapeutic
ideas from Steve de Shazer, Michael White, Tom Andersen, and the Galveston group.
