Adolescent Counselling Psychology: Theory Research and Practice provides a thorough introduction to therapeutic practice with young people. As an edited text, it brings together some of the leading authorities on such work into one digestible volume. The text is divided into three major sections.The first provides a context to therapeutic work with young people. This outlines the historical background to such work, the types of settings in which individuals work and the allied professions that they will encounter. Following on from this, the second section introduces the psychology of adolescence and provides an overview of the research into youth counselling. Finally, the third section considers more applied issues. Initially the infrastructure of counselling services is discussed before moving on to reflect upon pluralistic therapeutic practice. To end, the ways in which outcomes may be assessed in such work are described.In covering such a wide territory this text acts as an essential resource to practicing counselling psychologists and other mental health professionals. It provides a foundation to the work that individuals are undertaking in this arena and advocates that individuals enter into therapeutic work in a critically informed way. At the heart of such considerations is the need to utilise psychological theory alongside research findings to inform therapeutic decision making.

This accessible and engaging text introduces the reader to the history and development of counselling psychology before outlining its values, ways of working (therapeutically and when engaging with research), and other key areas.It promotes the diverse ways that counselling psychologists engage with individuals and the wider communities in which they work and serve, and in doing so, emphasises the core philosophical thinking that commonly underpins the work of counselling psychologists in therapy, research, education, or other leadership roles. Through practical examples and reflexive questions, this book highlights the roots of the discipline in value-based ethics and humanistic thinking, then explores the important psychological theories informing counselling psychology practice. These include the core therapeutic theories underpinning psychodynamic, cognitive behavioural, and humanistic therapies, and also contributions from intersectionality, social justice, and ecological systems approaches. Following a section on research methodology, this book goes on to look at the impact of counselling psychology across society and the avenues for further development.It is core reading for students in counselling psychology as well as those training in therapeutic disciplines such as counselling or psychotherapy.

Structured around common training topics, the book provides:

-consideration of what research is and why people do it

-discussion of key issues that individuals should consider before embarking on a research project

-an informed overview of common research methodologies and methods

-a reflection upon the need to place ethical mindfulness at the fore of any research project

This practical book demystifies research through a model of collaborative and experiential learning, with training exercises, student reflections, further reading, guidance on how to complete a thesis or dissertation, study skills and tips on how to use research supervision and dissemination.
