DESCRIPTION
Suicides jumped 29% among adolescents ages 15-to-19 over the previous decade. In addition to those who die by suicide, there are many more adolescents who have suicidal thoughts or attempt suicide and survive. Youth suicidal ideation, attempt and completion are on the rise. One survey showed that 18.8% of high school students seriously considered attempting suicide and 8.9% actually attempted suicide.
Attachment-based family therapy, a well researched, trust-based, emotion focused psychotherapy designed to improve family and individual processes associated with adolescent suicide and depression, has been found to be an effective tool in protecting our adolescents from threats to themselves. Learn about this from one of its primary developers.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:
1. Explain the theoretical foundation of ABFT that guides therapists in therapy implementation.
2. Discuss the purpose of the five treatment tasks.
3. Design therapy to focus on interpersonal growth rather than behavioral control.
