Description

Assessing and Treating Suicidal Thinking and Behaviors in Children and Adolescents is a guide to working with children and young people who present with either obvious or hidden suicidal thoughts, preoccupations, or plans. Chapters explore a range of treatment approaches and focus on how to support parents, caregivers, families, and schools. Expressive therapies are highlighted, but the chapters also cover evidence-based models such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), and prescriptive play therapy. Expressive therapists, school-based counselors, and other clinicians who work with at-risk children and adolescents from diverse communities and backgrounds will come away from this book with the tools they need to integrate the individual child�s capabilities, sources of distress, and internal and external resources in order to build a developmentally sensitive treatment plan.Typham this is the title: Assessing and Treating Suicidal Thinking and Behaviors in Children and Adolescents A Play Therapy Guide for Mental Health Professionals in Clinical and School-Based Settings 1st Edition
