Counseling Children and Adolescents: Diagnostic and Treatment Considerations for Specialized Issues is a printed paperback here, never an epub.
The editors lay it out by developmental stage, from toddlers to 18-year-olds, and look at the family, the school and the other professionals around each young client.
How it is organized
Stage chapters cover physical, social, cognitive and moral change. Other chapters take on diagnoses such as ADHD and eating disorders, and methods from art therapy to EMDR.
From the publisher
Counseling Children and Adolescents: Diagnostic and Treatment Considerations for Specialized Issues explores the complexities of counseling children and adolescents within various system dynamics, including family, school, and other providers. This textbook equips counselors with a foundational knowledge of diagnosis, assessment, and skills tailored to the unique needs and stages of development of this population, while providing empirically supported research regarding effective intervention strategies.
The content delves into specific developmental stages-Toddlers/Preschool (ages 1-5), Elementary (ages 6-9), Preadolescent (ages 10-13), and Adolescents (ages 14-18)-and examines the physical, cognitive, social, and moral developments that occur within these time periods.
Discussions encompass a variety of disorders and treatment modalities, such as autism spectrum disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), specific learning disorder, gender dysphoria, and eating disorders, while also covering therapeutic approaches like school counseling, art therapy, trauma treatment, and EMDR therapy.
Counseling Children and Adolescents is ideal for courses in counseling, psychology, social work, and other mental health disciplines, as well as for mental professionals treating this age group. The book provides readers with a comprehensive guide to the intricacies of diagnosis and treatment through developmental milestones, mental health challenges during transitions, and appropriate therapeutic interventions for young clients.
