Brief psychotherapy with children and adolescents: a developmental perspective

Article Abstract:

Brief psychotherapy is a significant mode of intervention that suits the therapeutic needs of infants, children, or adolescents with developmental problems. It can cause effective development in periods of disruption, reorganization, consolidation and integration. However, in comparison to long-term psychology, it fails to provide in depth understanding of one's internal life. A brief period of therapy can engage parents in empathetic parenting, helping in resumption of effective parenting. A case study of the development of a child with respect to brief psychotherapy is discussed.

A cultural perspective on the study of Chinese adolescent development

Article Abstract:

The dominant Western theory of adolescent development is foreign to Chinese cultural system. Differences between the Western and the Chinese societies and culture and in the perception of man contribute to the indifferent conceptions of adolescent development. It is argued that the Western concept of the self in relation with others does not conform to the Chinese concept of familism. Given their very different definitions of man, family, human relationships and human, development, Western theory seems inappropriate in examining Chinese adolescent development.

Serving children and adolescents in the school: can social work meet the challenge?

Article Abstract:

Educational reforms stress the importance of family support and social services for children and adolescents in schools. However, agency-based social workers fail to consider the role of personnel staff and school social workers. School social workers are unable to cater to the needs of all the students and their families. The agency social workers should consider those school and community factors which could have a negative impact on students. The multiple needs of the students should not be categorized. Services should be provided to underserved students.
