A Mindfulness-Based Approach to Working With High-Risk Adolescentsis an accessible introduction to a new model of therapy that combines the Buddhist concept of mindfulness with modern trends in psychotherapy. Drawing on years of experience working with at-risk adolescents, the chapters explore ways to develop authentic connections with patients: building relationships, working with resistance, and ways to approach change using mindfulness-based techniques. Real-life interactions and illustrations are used to show how a mindfulness-oriented therapist can approach working with adolescents in individual and group settings, and the book also provides practical suggestions designed for immediate implementation. A Mindfulness-Based Approach to Working With High-Risk Adolescentsis a must for any mental health professional interested in using mindfulness and other contemplative practices with at-risk youth. | A Mindfulness-based Approach To Working With High-risk Adolescents by Sam Himelstein, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
