Description
Working with adolescent clients poses some special challenges and presents with unique pitfalls. We’ll be discussing many of the most common ones and how to navigate them. These challenges and pitfalls often occur when clients won’t open up (“I’m good”); disclose their drug use (or won’t); glamorize drugs; come to sessions intoxicated; challenge therapists to play “Go ahead try to make me quit”; doubt your credentials based on drug use (or lack of it); misbehave in group sessions, etc. Also, we’ll discuss pitfalls in dealing with parents and the courts. Some may be familiar, and some might be eye opening.
