Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Children and Adolescents
 |
Description
Book Introduction
When it comes to treating children with mental health challenges like depression or anxiety, we already know that adult treatment techniques and interventions often don't work for young clients.
Children need developmentally appropriate psychotherapy plans and tools to help them regulate intense emotions and cope with life's challenges.
Based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), the methods presented in this professional guide are easy to implement in actual counseling sessions and include simple techniques that children can use directly in their daily lives, at home, at school, and in academies.
This book presents ACT Kidflex, a customized adaptation of ACT Hexaflex, a key component of ACT, to help young clients build resilience and develop psychological flexibility.
You'll find resources to help children regulate their emotions through detailed case studies, dialogues, activities, experiential exercises, journals, and session plans.
Finally, you will discover strategies for engaging parents in treatment when appropriate, and for mobilizing and collaborating with parents as their child's "ACT coaches."
Whether you're an experienced ACT therapist or new to ACT, this guide contains everything you need to help children thrive and grow.
