When Teen-agers Cry, Help!: How to Counsel Effectively
When Teenagers Cry Help How to Counsel Effectively Author:Roger L. Dudley Many people probably think of counseling as a sort of psychiatrist-couch situation in which the counselor elicits from the counselee the deep secrets of the subconscious and then draws upon his own great knowledge of the human mind and psyche to give advice. But this is not so, Dr. Roger L. Dudley asures us. — Most counseling of young people has ... more »to do with just plain listening and helping the teen-ager arrive at his own solutions to his problems. In doing this it is, of course, necessary to have certain insights into human nature. At least as important is to have a sensitivity and love for young people -- to be someone in whom the teen-ager can have confidence.
In this book Dr. Dudley lists some of the common problems teen-agers have, and gives interesting case histories of some that he had to deal with.
Anyone who is called upon to work with youth but who is aware of his counseling inadequacies will value the practical help found in these pages.« less
