Child and Adolescent Psychology

CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS: MENTALIZATION-BASED TREATMENT WITH A 10-YEAR-OLD BOY

With Norka T. Malberg, PsyD, and Karin Ensink, PhD

Mentalization is an ability that most people naturally develop in late childhood involving the ability to accept that other people's actions derive from inner states and intentions, and the ability to imagine what those inner thoughts and desires might be. Similar to the ability to empathize, mentalization is key to regulating emotions and developing relationships.

Mentalization-based treatment for children seeks to help foster this ability and keep clients aged 5 - 12 on track developmentally.

In this video, Norka Malberg demonstrates this approach with a 10-year old boy with attention-deficit disorder. Dr. Malberg and Karin Ensink discuss highlights from the session and key elements of this therapy.

This video features an actor portraying a client on the basis of a composite of case material.

CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS: PRESCRIPTIVE INTEGRATIVE PLAY THERAPY

With Athena A. Drewes, PsyD, RPT-S

During the period of middle childhood, which occurs between the ages of 6 - 12, children will experience social, emotional, and cognitive developmental changes. Such changes can be challenging for therapists treating children within this age group who may have behavioral and psychological disorders.

Because behavioral and psychological disorders for children and adolescents are multi-layered and complex, often with several overlapping problems, a multifaceted treatment approach is needed.

Dr. Athena A. Drewes' approach to middle childhood play therapy consists of a prescriptive, integrative method. In this video program, Dr. Drewes demonstrates her therapeutic approach with an eight-year-old child who is a victim of bullying in school, has low self-esteem and anger management problems.

In the session, Dr. Drewes checks in with the client, demonstrates a directive approach using play-based techniques that address the presenting problem issues, and then conducts a nondirective, child-led period of time to facilitate relaxation and self-regulation.

SYSTEMS OF PSYCHOTHERAPY: THERAPEUTIC ASSESSMENT WITH ADULTS

With Stephen E. Finn, PhD

Therapeutic assessment is a short-term intervention in which traditional psychological tests are used collaboratively with clients to help them understand themselves better and find solutions to their persistent problems.

In its underlying philosophy, therapeutic assessment is related to humanistic and human-science psychology, to narrative, interpersonal, and systemic models of psychotherapy, and to intersubjectivity theory. However, therapeutic assessment also uses techniques from many schools of psychotherapy, including cognitive therapy, behavior therapy, psychodynamic therapy, interpersonal therapy, and Gestalt therapy.

In this video, Dr. Stephen E. Finn demonstrates how the core values of therapeutic assessment - collaboration, respect, humility, compassion, openness, and curiosity - are all used to help a client acknowledge and process the dilemma of change and consider viable alternative ways of dealing with difficulties.

CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS: COGNITIVE-BEHAVIORAL GROUP PLAY INTERVENTIONS

With Linda A. Reddy, PhD

In this video, Dr. Linda A. Reddy demonstrates evidence-based approaches to implementing cognitive-behavioral group play interventions with children who are 4-10 years old. Often times, children with neurocognitive and behavioral issues such as ADHD, have trouble interacting with other children and adults.

The cognitive-behavioral approach shown here uses group play interventions to help children develop prosocial skills such as sharing, asking for and offering help. Dr. Reddy's group-play interventions include a multimodal approach that integrates cognitive-behavioral interventions and skill-intensive opportunities for learning through teaching modalities, as well as structured group therapy interventions.

In this video, Dr. Reddy demonstrates cognitive-behavioral group play interventions with four elementary-aged school children through several exercises in developmentally appropriate games.

RELATIONSHIPS: ATTACHMENT-BASED FAMILY THERAPY

With Guy S. Diamond, PhD

Attachment-based family therapy (ABFT) aims to repair interpersonal ruptures and rebuild emotionally protective, secure relationships between family members. With its unique emphasis on the adolescent's developmental need for attachment and autonomy, ABFT aims to facilitate corrective attachment experiences within the therapy session.

Although the model is trauma-focused and process-oriented, it provides a clear structure for this reparative process.

In this video, Dr. Guy S. Diamond discusses the core ABFT principles and clinical strategies, the theoretical basis of the approach, and the evidence base that supports it.

In the demonstration, Dr. Diamond works closely with a mother, a father, and their teenage daughter as they cope with the daughter's struggle with depression and her suicide attempt. Dr. Diamond listens attentively to all family members and then encourages the parents to focus on rebuilding an emotionally protective family structure for their daughter.

This DVD features clients portrayed by actors on the basis of a composite of several cases.

SPECIFIC TREATMENTS FOR SPECIFIC POPULATIONS: FUNCTIONAL FAMILY THERAPY FOR HIGH-RISK ADOLESCENTS

With James F. Alexander, PhD

In Functional Family Therapy for High-Risk Adolescents, James F. Alexander demonstrates his approach to working with families that have teenage children exhibiting behavior issues and associated emotional disruptions.

Teens with behavior problems are one of the most difficult populations with whom therapists work, as adolescents and their families frequently enter treatment against their will, either under legal order or at strong insistence of authority figures such as school administrators. Family interactions can be hostile, and a sense of hopelessness is not uncommon.

Dr. Alexander's approach involves working to increase family motivation to change by disrupting negative attributions they may have about themselves and other family members and replacing these with more positive and adaptive attributions.

In this video, Dr. Alexander works with a mother, father, and their 15-year-old son, who has been exhibiting behavior problems such as drug use and school truancy and who has recently been charged with breaking and entering. The session focuses not only on the son, but also the mother and father, whose relationship has been under significant strain for years due to the mother's own substance use and frequent disappearances from the family.

This DVD features clients portrayed by actors on the basis of a composite of several cases.

SPECIFIC TREATMENTS FOR SPECIFIC POPULATIONS: PARENTS OF CHILDREN WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER

With V. Mark Durand, PhD

In Parents of Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder, V. Mark Durand demonstrates his positive parenting approach to working with mothers and fathers of children who have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

ASD is an increasingly common diagnosis among children, and symptoms such as repetitive behaviors and communication deficiencies can challenge parents, often affecting their personal relationships and daily activities. The evidence-based approach demonstrated in this video focuses on increasing a sense of hope in these parents.

In this video, Dr. Durand works with a single-mother of an 8-year old boy with autism spectrum disorder. He helps her see that how she thinks about herself and her son impacts on her relationship with him at home. He then helps her focus on seeing the improvements she has seen in her son's behavior over time, and encourages her to take credit for these positive changes.

CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS: ADOLESCENTS WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER

With David J. Miklowitz, PhD

In Adolescents With Bipolar Disorder, Dr. David J. Miklowitz demonstrates a family-oriented approach to working with young clients with this diagnosis. Bipolar disorder manifests itself in drastic emotional highs and lows: People cycle between feeling elated and full of energy to states of severe depression. Diagnosing adolescents with this disorder can be especially difficult.

A family-oriented approach to working with this population involves examining the client's family context and how it affects the disorder, and how the disorder affects the family. Treatment often involves psychoeducation, working with the client's doctor or psychiatrist to adjust medication, and helping resolve family tensions that might exacerbate the client's symptoms through communication and problem-solving skills training.

In this session, Dr. Miklowitz works with a 17-year-old girl with both bipolar disorder and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder who has a history of self-harm. After assessing her family system and her other supports, Dr. Miklowitz helps the client identify the tools she has available to her for handling the different stages of her bipolar cycle.

CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS: FILIAL PLAY THERAPY

With Rise VanFleet, PhD

In Filial Play Therapy, Dr. Rise VanFleet demonstrates this approach to helping parents develop their relationships with their children through nondirective play. Filial play therapy creates a safe atmosphere where children can express themselves, try new things, learn about social rules and restrictions, develop family attachments, and develop effective social skills and bonds.

Because filial play therapy is a developmentally attuned way of communicating and understanding, it can be used with nearly all child problems. Research has shown that play therapy is more effective when parents are involved, so this approach involves training parents how to effectively play with their children.

In this session, Dr. VanFleet works with an 8-year-old girl and her mother. First she plays with the girl while her mother watches and then talks with the mother about how the play went. Afterward, Dr. VanFleet plays with the mother, training and coaching her in nondirective play skills that will help her develop a stronger relationship with her daughter.

CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS: TREATMENT WITH DEFIANT AND AGGRESSIVE ADOLESCENTS

With Fred J. Hanna, PhD

In Treatment With Defiant and Aggressive Adolescents, Dr. Fred J. Hanna demonstrates his practical approach to working with adolescents who have behavior problems. Dr. Hanna's precursors to change model has been used successfully with teenagers who are involved in drugs, gangs, violence, or serious misbehavior in school and other situations. This approach emphasizes seven precursors to change, including instilling a sense of necessity for change and the hope that change is attainable, along with the willingness to experience anxiety and confront issues.

In this session, Dr. Hanna works with a 17-year-old boy who says he wants to succeed in school, although he also asserts that it is all right to drink and party with his friends. Dr. Hanna first assesses the presence of the precursors to change, then creates cognitive dissonance between the two sides of the client's personality so that the client will seek to resolve this split and commit to making changes in his life.

RELATIONSHIPS: COMING OUT IN ADULTHOOD

With Ritch C. Savin-Williams, PhD

In Coming Out in Adulthood, Dr. Ritch C. Savin-Williams demonstrates his approach to working with gay, lesbian, bisexual, and same-sex attracted clients. Dr. Savin-Williams sees his therapeutic task as determining whether - and, if so, how - sexuality impacts a client's self-perception, identity, relationships with parents and friends, romantic relationships, career options, and choices among many life issues. Although primarily developmental and psychodynamic, Dr. Savin-Williams broadly employs an eclectic approach, the goal of which is to instill a sense of optimism in a world that remains heterocentric.

In this session, Dr. Savin-Williams works with an African American woman in her early 40s who had married and had two children before coming out as lesbian. Dr. Savin-Williams listens as the client recalls raising sons in a gay household, her mother's reaction to her coming out, and ongoing discomfort when in public with her partner.

RELATIONSHIPS: MULTIDIMENSIONAL FAMILY THERAPY

With Howard A. Liddle, EdD, ABPP

In Multidimensional Family Therapy, Dr. Howard A. Liddle demonstrates this integrative, empirically supported approach for working with families of adolescents with behavior and substance abuse problems. Multidimensional family therapy (MDFT) protocols guide therapists in assessing and intervening simultaneously in developmentally critical domains of a teen's and family's life. Emotions, cognitive processes, and behavior are interconnected and are all addressed in MDFT. Adolescent problems such as drug abuse and delinquency are multidimensional in etiology and current manifestation, and therefore attempted remedies and therapist behavior must be multidimensional as well.

As a multisystems model, MDFT clinicians work individually with the adolescent and the parent, with the family as a whole to facilitate new relationships, and with family members in relation to sources of ongoing influence such as school and juvenile justice systems to address current functioning and new solutions for the adolescent.

In this session, Dr. Liddle works with a 15-year-old boy, recently diagnosed with ADHD and depression, who seeks a better relationship with his father. Dr. Liddle meets with the adolescent client and his mother to help them move beyond previous therapy to make changes in their lives.

RELATIONSHIPS: TEENAGE GIRLS

With Karen Zager, PhD

In Teenage Girls, Dr. Karen Zager demonstrates her approach to therapy with adolescent girls. Teenage girls are a complex population difficult to pigeonhole; however, one general fact is that this group usually does not feel that adults listen to them. Dr. Zager therefore recommends listening as the key to working with teenage girls. Therapists must also respect what the client wants to obtain from therapy and avoid imposing therapeutic goals on the teenage girl.

In this session, Dr. Zager works with a 14-year-old girl named Lauren who is having issues with family tensions as well as relationship troubles with boys. Dr. Zager works with Lauren to help her see her problems from a broader perspective.

MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING FOR ADOLESCENT HEALTH BEHAVIOR

By Cathy Cole

Learn how to effectively support and empower adolescents dealing with health concerns using Motivational Interviewing skills and techniques.

In this course, MI trainer Cathy Cole, LCSW, outlines the basic principles of MI known as the "MI Spirit," and together with colleague Nikki Cockern, PhD, demonstrates how to apply these principles in 4 sessions with high school and college-age teens dealing with serious health issues: HIV, weight management, Type 1 diabetes, and risky sexual behavior.

Covering the four MI processes, change talk and sustain talk, and "the righting reflex" - our natural yet ill-advised urge to "fix" our clients - Cole emphasizes the method's nonjudgmental, client-centered nature.

In sessions with Sean, Carlotta, Olga, and Missy, you'll observe how to use MI to manage risk, communicate nonjudgment, deepen rapport, and draw out your clients' innate strengths. This video also offers realistic commentary, in which Cole discusses both the successes and the challenges of each session and how to work with your own "righting reflex."

You will see why MI is so widely adopted in health-care settings and how its spirit of collaboration reduces resistance and promotes adolescent interest in change.

MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING FOR ADOLESCENT SUBSTANCE USE

By Sebastian Kaplan, PhD, & Ali Hall, JD

Acquire practical Motivational Interviewing tools to help you manage challenging sessions with adolescent clients struggling with substance use.

Working with adolescents can be challenging enough without adding substance use issues to the mix. When teens' age-appropriate desire for autonomy gets compromised by substance use and addiction, it can be difficult for clinicians to effectively navigate heightened levels of client ambivalence alongside their own "righting reflex" - their desire to fix their clients.

In this compelling new video, Sebastian Kaplan, PhD, and Ali Hall, JD, demonstrate how to manage these elements using tools from Motivational Interviewing, a client-centered alternative to traditional, often confrontational addiction treatment. Here, you'll discover how to deepen rapport, diffuse resistance, and draw out adolescent clients' intrinsic strengths.

Learn strategies to engage teenage clients who do not even want to be in your office, much less receive treatment, through clinical demonstrations with three adolescent clients using marijuana, heroin, and opiates. Develop your skills to support adolescent clients, without conveying the disrespect they might expect from adults in authority roles.

This course is a must If you're seeking resources for teens, addiction and recovery, or client-centered counseling.

MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING IN JUVENILE JUSTICE SETTINGS

By Ali Hall

Without a strong alliance and clear boundaries, mandated clients will often shut down or act out - especially if they are teenagers. How do you work to meet both institutional and clinical goals? Here, Motivational Interviewing expert Ali Hall demonstrates how to use this collaborative approach in juvenile justice settings.

Are you looking for an alternative to the directive approaches traditionally used in Juvenile Justice settings? Working with mandated clients is a complicated endeavor to begin with, but when your clients are teens who are seeking - and testing the limits of - their autonomy, treatment can easily backfire without a collaborative working alliance.

In this course Ali Hall, JD, and her colleagues demonstrate how to reach effective outcomes with juvenile justice clients using Motivational Interviewing (MI). Through demonstrations with 4 clients, you will see how MI enables the counselors to partner with teens in ways that validate and empower them, even within the confines of the correctional system. What's more, you'll learn how to sidestep the urge to advise, direct, or confront struggling youth.

See how MI provides Hall with the tools to build a strong alliance with Samantha, on probation for marijuana possession, and how it enables her to take responsibility for her own behavior. Daniel Domaguin will show you how to deescalate angry clients using MI techniques in juvenile hall, while Deborah Collins demonstrates both MI-compliant and non-compliant approaches working with Tony, a teen mandated to counseling for substance use.

Finally, a roundtable discussion with the 3 counselors demonstrates how to provide ongoing coaching support for your staff.

This highly praised course fills a much-needed gap for training staff and counselors in this challenging environment.

MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING WITH ADOLESCENTS: CORE CONCEPTS

By Sebastian Kaplan

Learn how to apply Motivational Interviewing principles to resistant adolescent clients and how to support and empower them to change their destructive behaviors.

In this course, Sebastian Kaplan, PhD, demonstrates how to successfully apply MI in 4 individual and family sessions with 2 thirteen-year-old girls.

Marley's falling grades and increased truancy and Katie's self-harming behavior in response to bullying have brought them into a therapist's office. Watch as Kaplan demonstrates how to use MI to manage risk, deepen rapport, and draw out his clients' innate strengths. This video also offers in-depth commentary, in which Kaplan openly discusses his frustrations in session and then shows how to make therapeutic use of them.

In addition to an overview of Motivational Interviewing (MI) and its application to adolescents, you will learn how to bring parents into the clinical picture and discover helpful tools for working with your own internal responses to clients.

This course is an excellent resource for clinicians who want useful strategies for Motivational Interviewing, adolescent therapy, or family-based interventions.
