THE ADOLESCENT AND YOUNG ADULT SELF-HARMING TREATMENT MANUAL: A COLLABORATIVE STRENGTHS-BASED BRIEF THERAPY APPROACH

Matthew D. SELEKMAN

The first of its kind and comprehensive treatment manual for utilizing Collaborative Strengths-Based Brief Therapy with adolescent and young adult self-harming clients and their couple partners and families. The most up to date research findings on adolescent and adult self-harm are presented clearly that can inform clinical practice with this challenging treatment population. The treatment manual covers individual, couple, family, group, intensive outpatient, and school-based day treatment modalities. It is filled with many case examples and practical guidelines illustrating how to use the major therapeutic strategies and tools described in this book. Special treatment dilemmas with highly complex case situations and trouble-shooting guidelines also are presented.
Lynn Hoffman says: "Matthew Selekman's treatment manual is a big, chewy plumcake of a book. A grateful clinical audience can generalize from this book to almost any other dilemma. Selekman continually surprises us."
