Opis

This series of highly practical guides provides social work and health professionals who work with adolescents and their families with concise and up-to-date information on adolescents' problems. The guides are designed for use in assessment and intervention with clients and in planning training or therapeutic programmes, and can also be used for teaching purposes. The Hints for Parents sections which appear at the back of each guide may be photocopied and given to clients; the questionnaires, checklists and assessment forms which appear in the appendices are also copyright-free.

Recenzje

"Some of these [books in the PACTS series 2] are quite outstanding guides for practitioners, full of practical steps to take and worldly wisdom as well as good theretical grounding ... The one on Depression and Attempted Suicide is by Alan Carr and, again, is thorough and broad in its approach, not shying away from medication if this is required in addition to psychological therapy ... Overall I would recommend that this series is present for anybody working with adolescents, as they provide a very useful guide for trainees to get stuck in with treatment." Stephen Scott, Institute of Psychiatry, London, Child and Adolescent Mental Health, Volume 9, No. 2, 2004, pp 92–96 <!––end––>
