Question Answered step-by-step 1. A common theme when discussing adolescent resistance lies in the… 1. A common theme when discussing adolescent resistance lies in the reality that many teenagers are assigned (i.e. ‘forced’) to engage in counseling – versus attending on their own volition. Especially in inpatient or treatment center settings. How might you specifically address this challenge, and how might you encourage the other group members to assist with the process of engendering ‘buy-in’ on the part of a new member?  reference:https://laconciergepsychologist.com/blog/7-ways-to-encourage-your-teen-to-go-to-therapy/https://mountvernontherapy.com/resistant-teen-into-therapy/ 2. The challenge of developmental age ranges (i.e. 13-year-olds versus 17-year-olds, as an example) is a common one when working with adolescents. in group counseling with adolescents it is ideal to have age ranges be as close together as is possible. However, in many agency settings this may not be possible, therefore a 13 year old may be in sessions with 17 year old.  How might you address such a dynamic if your group was assigned adolescents with varied ages and/or maturity levels? Reference:https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/childdevelopment/positiveparenting/adolescence.htmlhttps://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/childdevelopment/positiveparenting/adolescence2.htmlhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4777050/https://youth.gov/youth-topics/adolescent-health/adolescent-development Social Science Psychology HSV 502 Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
