Teenagers today need therapists who can offer robust and unpretentious therapeutic relationships, as well as conversations that matter enough to hold their clients’ attention and make them want to come back for more.
Readers will come away from this book understanding how to tread the delicate balance between the support and confrontation, the forthrightness and discretion, and the humor and tenacity that therapists need to make a real and lasting impact with teenagers.
Janet Sasson Edgette, PsyD, therapist, author, and speaker, has worked with teenagers and their parents for over thirty years in her Philadelphia-based private practice.
