Description
Description:
Adolescents go through very deep changes, and go through them more rapidly than their parents did. Many adolescents find that they cannot elaborate these changes. Finding a “safe place” where teens can talk about these processes in group therapy normalizes their feelings; eases tension and may help them regain their inner resources by using Ericksonian hypnosis. The oppositional defiant teenager may find ways to be helped solving their most common problems easily.
Educational Objectives:
- To describe three common issues therapists find when working with adolescent groups and techniques for addressing them.
- To describe how adapting Ericksonian techniques can be helpful in these groups.
