Summary: "This is a series of surprising and demystifying conversations held between author Nick Luxmoore and professionals working with young people. Based entirely on stories from the author's experience of supervising counsellors, it looks at how we talk to young people, the stumbling blocks faced on both sides, and offers invaluable guidance to anyone working with teenagers. Adolescents themselves are in a constant state of change, be that in their brains, bodies, the way they see themselves and the ways others perceive them. Luxmoore posits ways forward for practitioners which are adaptive and allow them to respond personally, practically and theoretically. In this follow-up to Practical Supervision for Counsellors Who Work with Young People, he relates a range of experiences, including those of professionals dealing with suicide, anorexia and long-term illness in young people. One chapter sees a counsellor trying to empathise with a boy whose father abandoned his family only to return two years later, another a teacher struggling to know how to speak to a fourteen-year-old with an inoperable brain tumour. Recounted in a style that motivates, engages and inspires, The Art of Working with Anxious, Antagonistic Adolescents allows professionals to gain a better understanding of their capacity, particularly developmentally and pastorally, and not reach for easy answers or a quick fix. These are lessons in the art of working with today's teenagers"-- Provided by publisher.
