Counseling and Psychotherapy with Children and Adolescents: Theory and Practice for School and Clinical Settings
Our goal for this volume remains much the same as the first volume—to provide a
comprehensive overview of major approaches for helping children and youth experiencing social-emotional difficulties. We also feel it is important to understand the context of
child/adolescent treatment. Ethical and legal concerns, diversity issues, and issues relating to disabilities potentially all have impact regardless of theoretical approach. In the
first volume, we used the term intelligent eclecticism. We obviously believe in the importance of theory as being the base of our interventions but we also encourage professionals
not be bound to a single theory. Our belief is that professionals can utilize a range of
perspectives and blend approaches depending on the circumstances, and thoughtfully
(i.e., intelligent eclecticism) develop comprehensive approaches to working with children and youth. It is also clear that counseling and therapy with youth does not occur
in a vacuum—comprehensive interventions that include counseling and therapy also
should consider the various systems that impact children. In addition to direct work with
a child, successful interventions often include teachers, parents, other family members,
and community social supports.
