Counseling theories and techniques for children and adolescents
Links for application

The counselor faces the client, and the teacher deals with the student.
In this way, counseling is a process of bringing about change by facing the other person.
The Chinese character '相', which means facing each other, is shaped like the character '目' looking at a tree (木).
So, it is said that the original meaning of 相 was “to look closely” or “to observe.”
Because you have to look closely to know if it is good wood.
This is in line with the basic counseling principle that 'seeing' nonverbal messages is more important in communicating with others than 'hearing' verbal messages.
When counseling children and adolescents, it is especially important to 'look' at them compared to adults.
Because verbal expression is limited, emotions and thoughts are unconsciously expressed through facial expressions and gestures.
Counselors talk to clients, and teachers talk to students.
In this way, counseling is a process of bringing about change through storytelling.
The Chinese character '談', meaning story, is a symbol of sparks (炎) ​​flying through words (言).
It involves passionate conversation, like a negotiation where a decision is made after a heated debate.
However, in the case of children and adolescents, seeking change through words in this way is often limited.
Children and adolescents have difficulty expressing themselves and understanding themselves through abstract language because their language development is not as complete as that of adults.
Therefore, while counseling for adults primarily involves language-mediated change, for children and adolescents, tools, which are specific mediators that facilitate this verbal interaction, are needed to facilitate change.
This book introduces various tools to help overcome the limitations of verbal interaction with children and adolescents during the counseling process.
As Piaget (J.) argued, children's thinking is facilitated through concrete operations.
When we engage in activities that involve touching and manipulating things with our hands rather than using abstract language, our thinking is facilitated, we express our emotions more easily, and we express ourselves better.
So, in the case of children and adolescents, the word 相? rather than 相談 may better express the characteristics of child and adolescent counseling.
Most counseling theories and techniques have been developed and studied with the assumption of adult counseling.
That's why techniques that work for adults are often not effective for children and adolescents.
To effectively counsel children and adolescents, you must connect with them psychologically.
This book introduces various methods to create that connection using tools.

"Child and Adolescent Counseling Techniques Using Tools" introduces methods for creating psychological connections with children and adolescents using 17 different, easily accessible tools.
This book is designed to help you easily understand the counseling stages through five-panel illustrations and explanations. Each chapter's main activities are presented in detailed abbreviations, which can help you learn specific counseling methods.
In addition, specific tips presented in individual/group counseling are described so that they can be easily learned and applied in actual counseling situations with children and adolescents.

We can provide training on the topic of “Practical Child and Adolescent Counseling Techniques Using Tools” for counselors (professional counselors, professional counselors, child and adolescent counselors) or teachers (elementary and secondary school teachers).
The author of this book will personally teach the course, and training based on case studies is available for various practical applications in the field.
