- Abstract
From the author of Hold On, But Don't Hold Still, the emotionally charged and eye-opening account of a mother who navigates the cacophony of best practices and urgent advice from parenting authorities in search of a way to support her teen as he maps his own path to mental health.When Kristina Kuzmič started to see signs that her otherwise sunny, resilient teenage son was struggling, she was sure a few simple fixes could right the ship. But over the following months, the issues her family faced became more nuanced, complicated, and pervasive than she could've predicted—and what began as a clear to do list spiraled into an emotionally fraught and seemingly endless push and pull between signs of progress and overwhelming fear. Despite her best efforts, Kuzmič had internalized a set of obligations, ideas, and unrealistic standards from parenting culture and social media that left her unprepared to guide her child when he needed her most. Featuring an urgent and affirming foreword by renowned and New York Times bestselling clinician Dr. Shefali Tsabary—Kuzmič's new book debunks ten'parenting truths” that kept her in crisis, and delves into her insecurities and the mistakes she made to reveal invaluable lessons and transformative approaches that worked. While her family stands on the other side now stronger than ever, Kuzmič's journey calls to parents who have felt the instinct to say “I can fix this” in situations where good intentions far exceed our abilities to enact change. more...

Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a serious eating disorder that most commonly develops during adolescence. Across Scotland, child and adolescent mental health (CAMH) clinicians have been trained in the delivery of manualised Family Based Treatment (FBT) for AN. FBT is an approach that requires the involvement of all family members. The limited evidence available is indicative of fathers initially attending FBT but disengaging during the treatment process. Parental alignment and empowerment have been associated with improved treatment outcomes. As such the absence of fathers during the treatment process represents cause for concern. The aim of this study was to develop an understanding of the experience of fathers and the contribution that they made to FBT when a young person had anorexia nervosa. Grounded Theory was chosen because it is a valuable methodology where little is known about an area of human experience and because it supports the development of a substantive theory. Fifteen fathers with previous involvement in FBT took part in individual interviews. Data was collected and analysed simultaneously, utilising the process of constant comparative analysis. Field notes and memos informed and guided the construction and generation of analytic categories from the data. Four categories emerged from the data: Being on the Outside, Finding a Way In, Finding a Way to Be and Finding a Way to Let Go. The core category of Repositioning reflects the way that FBT changes the father's position within the family. The substantive theory of Rescripting describes how fathers, in the context of AN in the family, redefine themselves and their role for the duration of FBT; it identifies the challenges fathers face within this new and different role. This study addresses a gap in knowledge regarding the paternal experience of and contribution to FBT. It informs CAMH clinicians practice in relation to supporting and involving fathers in treatment. more...

- Abstract
A father's stirring and tender tribute to the son he lost to suicide After years of battling clinical depression exacerbated by autism, Auggie Hubbard died by suicide at the age of 19. In this poignant tribute to his son, Robert Hubbard—a theatre scholar and actor—stages Auggie's life in a series of vivid and tender scenes: Auggie's insatiable hunger for Accelerated Reader points. His tireless lightsaber practice in the local park. His sonorous tuba practice in the ward of his inpatient program. Through these anecdotes of Auggie's life and the days following his death, readers journey with a family shaken by mental illness and share in their hard-won joys in defiance of depression. Refusing easy answers and clichés about “God's plan,” Hubbard unflinchingly asks: Does faith matter amid such tragedy? What do you do when awareness isn't enough? When you've tried so hard to keep your child safe, but your efforts fail? His honesty and vulnerability—and his tender portrait of Auggie—are gifts to all who live with their own questions in the wake of a loved one's death.Foreword Reviews INDIES Book of the Year Award in Grief/Grieving Finalist (2023) more...

- Abstract
Educators as First Responders is a comprehensive, hands-on guide to adolescent development and mental health for teachers and other educators of students in grades 6-12. Today's schools are at the forefront of supporting adolescents with increasingly complex, challenging psychosocial needs. Moreover, students are more likely to seek out a trusted teacher, advisor, or coach for support than to confide directly in a parent or even a school counselor. Succinct and accessible, this book provides tips and strategies that teachers, coaches, nurses, counselors, and other school professionals can put into immediate use with students in varying degrees of distress. These evidence-based practices and real-world classroom examples will help you understand the “whole student,” a developing individual shaped not just by parental pressure or psychiatric diagnosis but by school and broader cultural and systemic forces. more...

Los profesionales de la Salud Mental nos encontramos con serias dificultades para tratar a algunos adolescentes borderline graves, que dicen que no les pasa nada. Mediante el estudio de cómo estructuraron su identidad durante la infancia, pudimos observar que su proceso evolutivo mental tuvo serias dificultades a la hora de desarrollarse, ya que quedó bloqueado en etapas infantiles. Y cuando llegan a la adolescencia siguen teniendo una mentalidad infantil. No tienen consciencia de sus actos ni de las consecuencias. Funcionan como niños y no aceptan ser ayudados. También hemos comprobado que estos adolescentes habían crecido en organizaciones familiares de características narcisistas o desestructuradas, que no supieron ayudar a crecer a sus hijos bajo las funciones parentales. Hubo un funcionamiento deficiente de estas funciones parentales. Proponemos un nuevo modelo de tratamiento inspirado en las funciones parentales para resolver el bloqueo mental que sufre el adolescente y así poder iniciar con él una psicoterapia individual focalizada en la transferencia, siempre que sea posible. Finalmente, exponemos un ejemplo de tratamiento. more...

For each of these, they provide definitions as well as early signs of detection, symptoms, diagnoses, and even treatment options. In doing this, they emphasize the importance of working with youth and caregivers and why social workers should address mental health issues like these using a strengths- and trauma-informed perspective. Painter and Scannapieco break each diagnosis into two chapters to ensure they give adequate coverage for each diagnosis. The first chapter for each discusses and includes the DSM criteria, the biological aspects of the disorder, differential diagnosing, and a case study applying the diagnostic criteria. The second presents evidence-based treatments and medications and follows-up the preceding case study with a discussion of the outcomes. This new edition includes discussions of the 21st Century Cures Act, cultural humility, techniques for intervention with youth, childhood trauma, and more. The final chapters discuss the importance of collaboration between schools, mental health providers, child protective services, and families. Promoting positive mental health in youth from a system of care perspective, readers will learn about the mental health issues facing children and adolescents as well as the relevant definitions, etiology, and evidence-based treatments to ensure they can gather enough information to make a proper diagnoses. more...

- Abstract
Profesjonelle samtaler med ungdom beskriver ulike måter å forstå ungdoms psykiske vansker på. Vanskene kan forstås som noe som oppstår inne i den enkelte ungdom, eller noe som oppstår i samspill med omgivelsene. Forståelsen vi legger til grunn, får betydning for hva vi tenker er hjelpsomt. Forfatteren argumenterer for at psykiske vansker hos ungdom må forstås som livsvansker og relasjonelle vansker knyttet til ungdomstiden. For å hindre at store ungdomsgrupper sykeliggjøres, må vanskene forstås i et kultur- og samfunnsperspektiv. Boka beskriver hvordan profesjonelle hjelpere kan samtale med ungdom på måter som gjør dem bedre i stand til å mestre vanskelige følelser, relasjoner og situasjoner. I slike samtaler involveres de unge aktivt i sine egne endringsprosesser. Boka bygger på teorier om ungdoms utvikling, forskningsbasert kunnskap og egne erfaringer. Det ungdom selv sier er til hjelp når de har det vanskelig, vies spesiell plass. more...

- Stress in adolescence, Teenagers--Mental health
- Abstract
Life can be stressful, especially for teens, and this stress can have negative impacts on both physical and psychological health. This book answers readers'questions about the causes and consequences of stress and how it can be prevented and managed.Overscheduling, the pressure to get into a good college, bullying, body image, conflicts with friends, and social media are just a few of the many sources of stress for today's teens. And, while teens may face just as many, if not more, stressors than adults, they are less likely to have the coping mechanisms and stress management tools needed to effectively combat the stress they feel. Part of Greenwood's Q&A Health Guides series, Teen Stress: Your Questions Answered follows a reader-friendly question-and-answer format that anticipates readers'needs and concerns. Prevalent myths and misconceptions are identified and dispelled, and a collection of case studies illustrates key concepts and issues through relatable stories and insightful recommendations. Each book in the series also includes a section on health literacy, equipping teens and young adults with practical tools and strategies for finding, evaluating, and using credible sources of health information both on and off the internet-important skills that contribute to a lifetime of healthy decision-making. more...

Unconditional helps those experiencing the challenges of intense emotional issues to let them know they are not alone. Unconditional takes readers through Allison Garner's own journey with her daughter as they face her daughter's emotional, mental, and behavioral struggles. With bracingly honest reflection, Allison shares her own struggles learning how to parent a child with major emotional and mental struggles, from multiple suicide attempts to cutting school. She openly admits to the thoughts most mothers never have the courage to say out loud and tackles her own growth head-on to show parents that it's okay not to have all the answers—and they don't have to be a “normal” parent or “good” mother. Including excerpts from her daughter's journal, Unconditional, while not shying away from reality, paints a beautiful picture of hope and growth on an imperfect journey and reassures parents that there is nothing wrong with them or their children. more...

- Abstract
Experts discuss the potential of early intervention to transform outcomes for people with mental disorders.Mental illness represents one of the largest disease burdens worldwide, yet treatments have been largely ineffective in improving the quality of life for millions of affected individuals—in part because approaches taken have focused on late-stage disorders in adulthood. This volume shifts the focus by placing the developmental stage of “youth” at the center of mental health. The contributors challenge current nosology, explore mechanisms that underlie the emergence of mental disorders, and propose a framework to guide early intervention. Offering recommendations for the future, the book holds that early intervention in youth has the potential to transform outcomes for people with mental disorders and to reconfigure the landscape of mental health.The contributors discuss epidemiology, classification, and diagnostic issues, including the benefits of clinical staging; the context for emerging mental disorders, including both biological and sociocultural processes; biological mechanisms underlying risk for psychopathology, including aspects of neural circuitry; and developing and implementing prevention and early intervention, including assessment and intervention modalities and knowledge translation in early treatment of schizophrenia.

- Abstract
Your Teen's Miraculous Brain provides advice for parents to help their teen succeed when nothing else is working. Traditional psychiatry, psychotherapy, and pastoral counseling … many Christian parents have tried these methods to help their troubled tweens, teens, and young adults, but have found that nothing works. These parents are frustrated, feel criticized by their church community, and no one seems to understand their teen with caregivers providing outdated advice. In Your Teen's Miraculous Brain, Dr. Nina Farley-Bates combines Christian principles and scientific methodology to bring relief to struggling families, gleaning from her twenty years of experience to help teens thrive. She walks parents through how to make eight essential changes, sharing valuable information to improve teens'brains, including what parents need to know to launch their teen into a better adulthood, how teens can get more restful sleep, and more. With Dr. Farley-Bates's help, parents watch their teens take quantum leaps into a more successful future, make lasting positive changes in their life, and become the hands that productively rock their world. more...

- Abstract
La consultation avec un adolescent est spécifique en plusieurs points : il s'agit d'une consultation avec un jeune mais également avec sa famille, la décision de consulter étant généralement prise par les parents ; les craintes des parents sont différentes des préoccupations immédiates du jeune patient ; enfin, la relation de l'adolescent avec son thérapeute est soumise à un temps au cours duquel l'ado joue, teste, examine son examinateur. Mais une fois l'alliance établie, le consultant sera en mesure d'accompagner et d'aider l'enfant dans sa traversée de l'adolescence, de ses troubles et de ses désarrois. Cet ouvrage a l'ambition de mettre en scène les diverses situations, les moments et les lieux de consultations. Organisé en 9 chapitres, il aborde successivement : • l'histoire de la psychiatrie d'adolescents, les approches sociologiques, la pédopsychiatrie positive ; • les consultations à l'hôpital, les rencontres avec les adolescents ; • l'adolescent et le spécialiste, l'adolescent et son environnement ; • des situations originales (cancer, addiction, adolescents d'ailleurs…) ; • l'enseignement de la consultation d'adolescents. Des cas cliniques viennent illustrer ces propos. Ce livre permettra à tous les professionnels confrontés aux désordres des adolescents une réflexion, une interrogation sur leurs pratiques. Il s'adresse aux pédopsychiatres, psychiatres, psychologues, et aux professionnels de l'éducation et du secteur social engagés dans le travail auprès des jeunes. more...
