Working with Challenging Youth

Book excerpt: "Working with Challenging Youth was written to address and fulfill these needs. It builds upon the author's years of experience working with challenging youth, and equally upon his extensive knowledge of the theoretical foundations of at-risk counseling and therapy techniques in general. As more practitioners make use of an eclectic therapeutic approach with at-risk youth, this book offers the tools to help them combine several different treatment methods in their work with this population. Embracing this versatile approach, Dr. Richardson presents his readers with a framework based on six general principles that distinguish effective counselors from the rest."--Jacket
