Editorial Reviews

Review
"Practical and comprehensive . . . an excellent resource for beginning therapists, as well as for those wanting to expand their skills with adolescents." (Holly Stejskal, Youth and Family Counselor, SAY, San Diego, Inc.)

"Neil Ribner doesn't talk in generalities, rely on clinical jargon, or underestimate the complex issues involved in working with adolescents. Using a large number of clinical vignettes from his vast experience, he shows how the therapist's ability to align him or herself with the adolescent client is what typically spells the difference between being helpful or getting blown off. In culturally sensitive, down to earth language, Ribner describes how to empathically connect with the fears, anxieties, and resentments of troubled teenagers and their families in ways that promote change." (Fred Weiner, psychologist, Counseling and Psychological Services Center, Ohio University)

"In the most readable prose, Dr. Ribner outlines everything you want to know about initiating treatment with the adolescent client. Psychotherapists in training in all disciplines should read this manageable and straightforward book; their supervisors and other experienced clinicians could also benefit from this compact yet comprehensive reminder." (Donald J. Viglione, professor and director, Clinical Doctor of Psychology Program, California School of Professional Psychology, San Diego)

"Refreshing and direct . . . this book will benefit those who work with adolescents in a variety of settings." (oanne E. Callan, professor, California School of Professional Psychology)
