TREATING ABUSED ADOLESCENTS
Eliana Gil
Guilford Publications, 1996

LEARNING OBJECTIVES - This course was designed to allow the reader to:
• Learn a framework and techniques to communicate and work with adolescents who have suffered from abuse
• Learn the special therapeutic needs of these adolescents
• Learn how members of this population often provoke fear, resentment, anger, and general mistrust among adults, including professionals, which can interfere with clinical interaction
• Understand the impact of abuse on development
• Understand how 'acting out' can be understood as a bid for attention and help
• Learn specific ways to overcome obstacles in treatment

Eliana Gil, Ph.D., has a private practice in Rockville, Maryland; is Director of the Center for Advanced Clinical Development; former President of the California Professional Society on the Abuse of Children; and author of THE HEALING POWER OF PLAY: WORKING WITH ABUSED CHILDREN and PLAY IN FAMILY THERAPY.
