PATHWAYS TO SOLUTIONS WITH CHALLENGING ADOLESCENTS: A COLLABORATIVE STRENGTHS-BASED FAMILY THERAPY APPROACH
Matthew SELEKMAN
Adolescents presenting with explosive and violent, highly oppositional, serious eating-distressed, heavy substance abuse and self-injury, and delinquent behaviors can be a nightmare to work with even for the most seasoned of therapists. How we optimize for treatment success is to combine what works from family therapy science with evidence-based practice wisdom.
In this “hands-on,” practice-oriented workshop, participants will learn how to tailor fit and individualize the family therapy approach to honor family members’ unique preferences, theories of change, and optimize for their treatment success.
Target audience: (family) counselors, social workers, clinical psychologists, psychotherapists, psychiatrists
