Age groups: adolescents Books

Book SynopsisDo you wish your son or daughter would tell you more about what is happening in their life, and that they would open up to you more often? Are you worried about them as they seem to be spending more and more time in their bedroom and on their smart phone? The teenage years can be a time of concern and worry for parents and carers from all backgrounds. However, Why Won't My Teenager Talk to Me? offers the parent and care-giver insightful and practical advice, as to how to encourage positive and respectful two-way communication between you and your teenager. The new edition of this essential book offers a positive way of thinking about the teenage years. So much has changed in the last five years since the book first appeared. Our knowledge of the human brain has increased, and this new edition includes a whole chapter devoted to the changing teenage brain. Trade Review‘This book merges the voices of parents and teenagers with Dr Colemans's authoritative, well-defined framework, offering practical information and advice for parents of today’s teenagers.’ Janey Downshire, Teenagers Translated, UK‘John writes in a generous, practical and informed manner about difficult subject areas. He provides a frames work ‘STAGE’ for reflection and reference, but most of all an open-minded approach to get the most out parenting during the teenage years – he even allows us to consider that this can be a wonderful and not terrible experience because he talks to both parents and teenagers themselves.’ Jez Todd, CEO of Family Lives, UK‘In today’s pressured and competitive world, it seems that parents have much to worry about and too little sensible guidance. Parents are full of questions, for their experiences are new to them and, in the case of the fast-changing digital world, new to everyone. John Coleman’s years of expertise, sound research and sympathetic vision allows him to offer wise yet practical answers in a lively, accessible and thoroughly up-to-date manner.’ Professor Sonia Livingstone OBE, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK‘This book is essential reading for anyone with a teenager. Fostering and maintaining good communication with a teenager can feel impossible – conversations end up turning into arguments and everyone starts to feel worried or upset. This book gives parents the insights they need to keep family communication channels open. It’s insightful and practical and should be on every parent’s bookshelf.’ Vicki Shotbolt, Founder and CEO of Parent Zone, UK‘This is the book that every parent of a teenager should have on their bedside table. Read it through, dip in and out – it contains so much that can help you. Coleman combines wisdom and sympathy with practicality and facts. He gives tips and suggestions on how to talk to your teenagers, and how to listen. But far more important, he gives you insight into why your teenagers act and feel the way they do and dissects the increasing pressures they come under in today’s world. This new edition contains the latest research on the teenage brain.’ Suzie Hayman, Agony Aunt for Woman Magazine and Trsutee of the charity Family Lives Table of ContentsPart 1 1.

Book SynopsisPublished in 1983. Adolescence is a period of change for all and turmoil for some. Many adolescents have problems which are easily identified but for others the problems are more subtle. There is an interaction between their own difficulties and the systems of home, school and their own society. In this case, problems, which are very real, are more difficult to define and to deal with.This book aims to help teachers to recognise and understand the common problems of adolescents, as they are relevant to their schooling. In addition, suggestions are made to help both teachers and adolescents overcome these difficulties. Besides the more immediately obvious issues of learning and behaviour, there is also discussion of sexual behaviour, vandalism and substance abuse.Throughout the book the common theme is that all problem behaviour must be understood and acted upon within a context, and not regarded as examples of individual delinquency. Finally, the implicatTable of Contents1. Children with Special Educational Needs: An Overview, Lindsay. 2. Identifying Problems, Lindsay. 3.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Adolescents and Young Adults: An Emotion Regulation Approach provides a unique focus on therapeutic practice with adolescents and young adults, covering everything from psychological theories of adolescence to the treatment of common emotional difficulties. Beginning with a review of development through adolescence into adulthood, and the principles of CBT, the book highlights problems with traditional models of CBT for adolescents and young adults. In a fresh approach, this book separates CBT from diagnosis and grounds it instead in emotion science. Adolescents and young adults learn not about disorders and symptoms, but about emotions, emotional traps', and how they can use CBT to bring about change. There are chapters on fear, sadness, anger, emotion dysregulation, and happiness. Each chapter provides an outline of emotion science, a clear cognitive behavioural formulation (trap'), and evidence-based interventions. Clinicians are

Book SynopsisHidden Youth and the Virtual World examines the phenomenon of hidden youth' or hikikomori, as it is better known in Japan as well as Hong Kong.

Book SynopsisAwareness of peer-on-peer abuse is on the rise and is a matter of increasing international concern. Abuse Between Young People: A Contextual Account is the first book to offer a contextualised narrative of peer-on-peer abuse that moves beyond recognising an association between environments and individual choice, and illustrates the ways in which such interplay occurs.Using both sociological and feminist perspectives, Firmin reshapes the way that peer-on-peer abuse is perceived and investigates the effect of gendered social context on the nature of abuse between young people. This text also uses an in-depth case study to explore associations between abusive incidents and young people's homes, peer groups, schools and neighbourhoods, in addition to broader societal influences such as pornography and politics. National and international policies are woven into each chapter, along with insights from parenting programmes, the troubled families' agenda, and bullying aTable of ContentsSection 1:Setting the scene: peer-on-peer abuse and contextual investigation 1.

Book SynopsisSubstance Misuse and Young People: Critical Issues is a comprehensive source of information on young people's requirements for assessment, treatment and other interventions because of their misuse of substances. It highlights approaches that enhance understanding of the routes that lead young people to substance misuse and also the routes away from it. The emergence of new substances and methods of misuse makes this ever more relevant. The authors are international experts in the fields of psychiatry, paediatrics, medicine, psychology, genetics, resilience, neuropharmacology and epidemiology.This book acknowledges how widespread both substance misuse and psychiatric disorders are and explores the complex, challenging links between co-occurring conditions. Use of substances is associated with illness and premature mortality, and more so for people who have combined disorders. The authors critically assess the vital need for intervention during adolescence and eTrade Review"Given the current crisis in adolescent mental health services, this timely handbook is a valuable and enlightening contribution to discussion, training and education. It explains the why and how of substance misuse among young people and gives guidance on what to do. The overall framing derives from addiction psychiatry but is relevant to all professions in today’s multi-disciplinary, multi-agency set of services. Succinct, clear and accessible chapters include comprehensive literature and evidence reviews, demonstrate the critical issue of complexity and show the way forward for prevention and early intervention."- Professor Susanne MacGregor, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine"Drug use generally starts when people are young so it is vital to understand the roles played by various factors in order to improve prevention, minimise immediate and enduring associated harms and optimise treatment. This book brings together a range of experts to provide the latest evidence alongside pragmatic advice in all these areas. It is a vital resource as specialist knowledge and services may be hard to access resulting in a large unmet need."- Professor Anne Lingford-Hughes, Professor of Addiction Biology, Imperial College London & Hon Consultant Psychiatrist, Central North West London NHS Foundation Trust.

Book SynopsisOffers a challenging interpretation of the ways in which young people's non-participation is becoming marginalised and criminalised. It re-examines the causes and consequences of youth unemployment in and beyond the UK from an unusually wide range of social science disciplines and perspectives.Trade ReviewA wide-ranging, knowledgeable and sophisticated attempt to offer fresh insights and a strong challenge to the ways in which the young are marginalised and manipulated by dominant social forces." Professor Roger Smith, Critical Social Policy"Young People, Welfare and Crime is scholarly. It is readable. It provides an original analysis. This book excels on all levels …It offers a stunningly clear theoretical framework… Its interdisciplinary analysis is utterly compelling and masterful. The implications are profoundly unsettling…" Professor Jo Phoenix, British Journal of Criminology“Ross Fergusson shows that there is not just an economic and social crisis that affects the young in rich-world countries but also a crisis in our understanding of how and why it has come about. His book is a major new critique of several theories. It suggests what can be salvaged from current academic misunderstandings, and how academics can better work with others to begin to turn the tide for young adults who are treated as if they are no longer needed, or are useful only for menial work of little real value.” Danny Dorling, Halford Mackinder Professor of Geography, University of Oxford“Educational under-achievement and exclusion, diminishing labour-market opportunities and wholesale criminalisation comprise the adverse conditions within which complex youth-adult transitions are increasingly defined and disfigured internationally. Fergusson’s timely publication engages with these conditions empirically and theoretically with a level of analytical precision and authority that will make it an indispensable source for sociologists, social policy analysts and criminologists.” Barry Goldson, Charles Booth Chair of Social Science, University of Liverpool“Young people invariably bear the brunt of social and economic change – especially recessions, and the neo-liberal austerities and criminalising and neglectful injustices that follow them. Fergusson's original interdisciplinary analysis sets a convincing late modern context for grasping the depths of our crisis of youth as it explains why, how and upon whom the burdens of social exclusion fall the hardest.” Peter Squires, Professor of Criminology and Public Policy, University of Brighton"An extensive and detailed analysis ... [which] introduces us to new ways of conceptualising, theorising and analysing, within the social sciences, the criminalisation and marginalisation of youth." - Cambridge Core Journal of Social Policy"This is an important book. It challenges established approaches to understanding the lives of young people; works across disciplines; … and locates debates about participation, welfare and crime in a critical constellation of perspectives… The implications … are serious - not only for those young people who continue to defy the strictures of the state, but also for the principles of social justice and democracy... " Professor Robin Simmons, Young“This is an exciting book. Too often scholarly debates and policy thinking about young people take place in separate disciplinary fields, limiting the theoretical potential for understanding. Here Ross Fergusson has produced an important and novel contribution to the way that we should think about the exclusion of young people. The book is to be commended for its ambition in bringing together theory and research from youth studies, criminology, sociology and social policy, better to understand work, welfare and crime.” Rob MacDonald, Professor of Sociology, Teesside University“Ross Fergusson has important things to say. His book cuts through much muddled thinking about young people’s non-participation. It challenges dominant policy discourses about contemporary youth and much academic thinking, and offers an original and critically-informed analysis which disrupts the traditional disciplinary restrictions which limit our understanding of the lives of young people on the margins of education and work.” Robin Simmons, Professor of Education, University of Huddersfield“Working in sophisticated fashion across disciplines and theoretical approaches, this unique – and very welcome – book provides much-needed contemporary insights into the complex relationships among youth unemployment, welfare and crime.” Nick Ellison, Professor of Social Policy, University of YorkTable of ContentsPart One: The crisis of non-participation; Crises of non-participation; Part Two: Work, welfare and crime: research and policy; Young people and non-participation: discourses, histories, literatures; Non-participation, wages and welfare; Non-participation and crime: constructing connections; Unemployment, crime and recession; Interlude: Interpretive review; Part Three Theorising non-participation; Lines of division, points of entry: two theories; Theorising the non-participation-crime relationship; Part Four: Criminalising non-participation; The advance of criminalisation; Review and concluding comments.
