Beskrivning

Young adult men in their late teens and early twenties are statistically the least happy of any group of males surveyed. What’s more, scholarly research tells us that adolescent boys and young men have the highest rates of behavioral problems, completed suicides, and drug and alcohol problems of any demographic group. They also tend to have greater problems managing their emotions and successfully negotiating close interpersonal relationships, which makes therapy more complex and challenging. However, when done well, therapy with young men can be highly effective and quite rewarding for both the therapist and client. In Therapy With Young Men, Verhaagen presents a comprehensive model of therapy with young men that addresses each of these concerns, beginning with the rapport and engagement process, and then moving to ways to increase motivation for changing problem behaviors and increasing adaptive skills. The book describes a wide range of novel, effective cognitive-behavioral interventions that can readily be employed in the therapeutic process.

"Drawing on more than 20,000 hours of treatment with young men, Dave Verhaagen has developed a comprehensive therapeutic strategy to engage young men – not only in therapy, but actually engage them in their own lives. This book is more than ‘useful’ – it’s vitally necessary." - Michael Kimmel, SUNY Stony Brook–New York, USA; author, Guyland: The Perilous World Where Boys Become Men"Therapy with Young Men is an excellent book. Dr. Verhaagen describes a wide range of effective cognitive-behavioral interventions that can be implemented with adolescents and young adults with severe behavioral problems. For clinicians who want concrete tools that they can use in their practice to lower resistance and engage out of control adolescents, this is a must read." - Scott P. Sells, author, Parenting Your Out of Control Teenager; Treating the Tough Adolescent
