This book describes clinical strategies for therapists, as well as the theoretical basis of the approach and the evidence base that supports it.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ABFT emerges from interpersonal theories that suggest adolescent depression and suicide can be precipitated, exacerbated, or buffered against by the quality of interpersonal relationships in families. ABFT aims to repair interpersonal ruptures and rebuild an emotionally protective, secure-based, parent amp ndash child relationship. The treatment initially focuses on repairing or strengthening attachment and then turns to promoting adolescent autonomy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In particular, the authors delineate five treatment phases, or  amp quot tasks, amp quot  which each have distinct goals and strategies. Thus, while the model is trauma-focused and process-oriented, it includes a structure and a clear roadmap for facilitating the reparative process. The chapters blend empirical research with clinical guidance, illustrative vignettes, and a case study.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e With its unique emphasis on the depressed adolescent's need for attachment and autonomy, this book will show family therapists how to create in-session, corrective attachment experiences where adolescents seek - and parents provide - love and support.\u003cbr\u003e   \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e Introduction: The Context of Adolescent Depression \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Historical Roots and Empirical Support for Attachment-Based Family Therapy \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Theoretical Framework of Attachment-Based Family Therapy \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Task I: Relational Reframe \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Task II: Adolescent Alliance \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Task III: Parent Alliance \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Task IV: Repairing Attachment \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Task V: Promoting Autonomy \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Case Study \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Recommended Additional Readings \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e References\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003cbr\u003e About the Authors \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"American Psychological Association","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52670831132952,"sku":"9781433838798","price":58.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/attachment-based-family-therapy-for-depressed-adolescents-paperback-softback-9781433838798","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
