Counseling Children And Adolescents - 9781793585660

The sixth edition of the best-selling Counseling Children and Adolescents offers readers a comprehensive exploration of the practice of counseling young clients. The book introduces several theories that have proven effective with young clients, then couples that information with developmentally and culturally appropriate interventions and counseling techniques. Additional chapters explore working with children who are historically disenfranchised and placed at-risk, children with exceptionalities, and youth affected by challenging circumstances. Other topics addressed in the text include working with parents and families in school and mental health settings, creative counseling techniques, basic counseling skills, and ethical considerations specific to children and adolescents. This edition retains the features of previous editions prized by instructors and students alike but incorporates important updates. A new chapter on trauma has been added and references, examples, and case studies have been updated as appropriate to reflect the current times. The accompanying Cognella Active Learning for students includes 16 brand-new videos that help make concepts come alive. This book features highly informative chapters and information based on rich experience of the authors. With an emphasis on practical applications and empirically based approaches, it is ideal for graduate-level courses in counseling, psychology, marriage and family, or social work, as well as for practitioners working with young clients.

A Statement from the Editors in Recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month 2023 "Focusing on the mental health needs of children, adolescents, and their parents is a critical need in the helping professions--especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many children continue to suffer from depression, anxiety, isolation, and suicidal ideation following the global pandemic. Counselors, social workers, psychologists and anyone who works with young clients are seemingly hungry for the kinds of information and practical ideas that we offer in our book. It's an honor for us to write alongside all of the wonderful contributors to Counseling Children and Adolescents (6th ed.). You can feel in every chapter the passion that all of the authors bring to content meant to bolster youth mental health and well-being."
