The Clinician's Guide to Time-limited Adolescent Psychodynamic Psychotherapy: A Developmentally-Focused Approach provides mental health professionals with a brief, developmentally-focused psychotherapy course (TAPP) for their adolescent and young adult patients dealing with a wide-range of mental health issues. TAPP fosters patient engagement by acknowledging the current social changes that impact young people, exploring the opportunities and vulnerabilities of the adolescent developmental processes, and studying the impact of social change on the psychological tasks of adolescence.
It sets out a clear theoretical framework, comparing different approaches of psychodynamic psychotherapy, and assesses the advantages and disadvantages of time-limited therapy. The book also includes detailed case studies of TAPP being implemented on a wide range of adolescent and young adult presentations, pathologies, and predicaments, while also exploring the adaptations that therapists need to make when working with adolescents in order to achieve a positive therapeutic outcome. Extensive use of clinical examples to illustrate theoretical ideas is featured throughout, and the book also looks at key questions, clinical dilemmas, and theoretical developments relating to the practice of time-limited psychotherapy.
