Addresses the particular problems of engaging young people with mental health problems and conduct disorders in psychotherapy. Although underpinned by psychoanalytic ideas, the book also takes into account developmental, biological and cultural issues that affect young people. Part one considers the theoretical and practical aspects of engaging and maintaining young people in treatment. Part two describes services that have been devised to meet the needs of particular groups such as persistent young offenders and those that are disabled, who are difficult to reach with a traditional clinical approach. The particular needs of young women seeking contraception are also discussed. The third part concludes with an examination of tried and tested methods for routinely evaluating the effectiveness of clinical interventions.
