Human Givens Therapy with Adolescents: A Practical Guide for Professionals

Human Givens therapy recognises and addresses innate needs - or 'givens' - common to all humans. The innovative approach is a highly effective way of dealing with the emotional difficulties faced by young people, and this book covers everything the practitioner needs to know about its theory and practice. The three-part book begins with a comprehensive background to the Human Givens approach, therapeutic structure and potential outcomes. Part two takes the form of a workbook comprised of assessment tools, detailed explorations of each Human Givens need, and practical interventions, all supported by photocopiable materials such as record sheets for the practitioner, and questions for the client. The book concludes with a comprehensive case study taken from the author's research, which consists of a session-by-session therapeutic outline designed to communicate exactly how Human Givens works in practice. This complete guide to Human Givens therapy will equip educational, clinical and social care professionals working with adolescents with all they need to know to put this effective approach into action.
