Thus, the early sessions with a teenaged client can consist of a standoff-skeptical or contemptuous teen on one side of a dialogue that isn't happening with an uncertain therapist on the other. This Reading Course offers a variety of perspectives and methods that can lead to more productive therapy with teens. William Doherty offers a new nomination for the problem of the decade: that childhood is becoming a rat race of hyperscheduling, overbusyness, and loss of family time. Janet Sasson Edgette shows how to be more genuine and benevolently candid with even the most difficult teen client. Ken Hardy demonstrates how to create a context of safety and connection in work with angry black teens in which the potentially explosive issues of race and chronic rage can be confronted. Jerome Price lays out the four most common mistakes in treating teens. Matthew Selekman offers a systemic approach to the problem of the self-harming adolescent.
