Therapeutic Conversations with Adolescents: Helping Teens in Therapy Thrive in an Ultra-Competitive, Screen-Saturated World [Hardcover]

Therapeutic Conversions with Adolescents takes readers into the office of a seasoned therapist, where they can be a fly on the wall of live therapy sessions.

In her newest book, Janet Edgette encourages us to be brave enough to violate some of the most hoary and archaic rules of psychotherapy. She reminds us that therapy is rooted in our capacity to think deeply and compassionately and that its not just about what to do with our adolescent patientsits about how to be with them.

Janet Sasson Edgette has yet again proved to us that she has her fingers on the pulse of what its like to be an adolescent today. This book illustrates the range of issues that kids face from the inside out and the range of responses that therapists can utilize to engage this population. I couldnt put this book down! Janets insight, perception and authenticity are so refreshing!
