This book is written for all mental health clinicians, allied professionals, line staff, social workers, and students whose focus is on the adolescent in residential treatment and the problems facing the aging-out young adult and his transition to independence. Readers will find that the book elucidates upon the fundamentals of assessment, clinical descriptions of theoretical constructs, and the application of technique. All of these domains are regarded as areas of interest and concern for front line staff during their supervision and monitoring of adolescents. This book also addresses the role of the social worker during interventions with families and while conducting group work, and reviews guidelines for treatment staff that will enable them to assess a youth's overall development, self-esteem, and sense of self.Assessments of youngsters include a description of developmental maturation, the level of stability or self-control, and the type of support or structure needed to enhance the youth's life. There is also a comprehensive overview of contextual practice, which details an explicit theoretical basis for understanding the process that brings about change. Of importance for residential staff is to be aware of the effect that expectations within the environment and communication patterns have on youngsters. In this regard the reader will be shown how to approach the youth on his level of understanding and relating, and to recognize which youngsters have learned to survive by not talking. Finally, there is information on how to connect with withdrawn youth, to encourage them to be more open in relationships as well as to deal with their feelings. It will also be of interest to researchers, practitioners, educators, and policymakers who seek to refine their skills and knowledge of residential treatment and to learn specifically about contextual practice.

In Treating Complex Trauma, renowned clinicians Mary Jo Barrett and Linda Stone Fish present the Collaborative Change Model (CCM), a clinically evaluated model that facilitates client and practitioner collaboration and provides invaluable tools for clients struggling with the impact and effects of complex trauma. A practical guide, Treating Complex Trauma organizes clinical theory, outcome research, and decades of experiential wisdom into a manageable blueprint for treatment. With an emphasis on relationships, the model helps clients move from survival mindstates to engaged mindstates, and as a sequential and organized model, the CCM can be used by helping professionals in a wide array of disciplines and settings. Utilization of the CCM in collaboration with clients and other trauma-informed practitioners helps prevent the re-traumatization of clients and the compassion fatigue of the practitioner so that they can work together to build a hopeful and meaningful vision of the future.

Residential treatment centers are restrictive and intensive care environments intended to address the needs of adolescents with high-risk emotional and behavioral dysfunction and issues of complex trauma. Individual, milieu, and group therapies are key treatment modalities for adolescents in these settings. While collective treatment outcomes are commonly discussed in previous research, there is a limited body of literature detailing the provision of the specialized services offered--especially group psychotherapy, which targets the critical task of interpersonal development for adolescents through group process. Many features of residential treatment settings differentiate them from settings for which standard models of treatment were originated. Thus there are some significant disparities between theory and practice. A comprehensive understanding of group therapy services for adolescents in residential treatment centers, particularly those with process components, requires a phenomenological examination of the treatment process, as implemented by clinicians with interdisciplinary mental health backgrounds in these settings. This exploratory study investigated the experiences of clinicians facilitating groups with process components for adolescents in residential treatment centers. Ten clinicians who have facilitated such groups within the last five years participated in the study, which used a qualitative research design. Participants were interviewed using a semi-structured questionnaire. Themes emerging from their responses were analyzed using grounded theory techniques. Identified themes included (a) preparation for clinical work in residential treatment centers; (b) impact of variety of contextual factors; (c) clinician influence on facilitation of group process; (d) the need to move to system-level trauma-informed care; (e) impact of direct care staff on group process; (f) attention to and focus on individual needs; (g) balancing structure and flexibility in group facilitation; (h) variety in group types as treatment component; and (i) the benefit of group process for adolescents in residential treatment centers. Implications for future research direction, training needs, group clinicians facilitating these groups, and residential treatment centers were discussed.

In Residential Treatment of Adolescents, Pazaratz discusses how practitioners can remain emotionally available for the needs of their residents without feeling overwhelmed. Readers will be apprised of ways to deal judiciously with residents who try to circumvent, con, play workers off each other, and even attempt to seduce or manipulate the worker. Each chapter instructs readers to observe their clients and comprehend how they relate to the total environment, in order to determine what the resident is feeling and how he or she makes use of personal resources. This contextual understanding helps to answer questions such as: What are the youngster’s goals? What factors obstruct the change process? What are the youngster’s defenses and against what? How does the youngster use the milieu (staff and peers) and the community as resources? How can the youngster get significant others to react differently to him or her? Ultimately, Pazaratz demonstrates that effective treatment staff do not create dependent youth, make treatment oppressive, or enact a role based upon giving consequences. Instead, the reader will learn to integrate diverse intervention strategies into the resident’s normal cycle of daily life and how to interact within a team structure.
