Human Givens Approach to Working with Parents of Challenging Teens

Human Givens Approach to Working with Parents of Challenging Teens is written by Dan Jones, a psychological therapist with Asperger's who has worked extensively with parents and families.

This book was previously released as 'Using a Humanistic Solution Focused Approach with Parents and Families to Reduce Anti-Social Behaviour and Youth Offending'. This edition is updated and has an additional chapter of case studies.

Dan has been using a Human Givens Approach with parents and families since 2007. Prior to this his focus was working with children and teens with challenging behaviour. He carried out research on using the Human Givens Approach to help to reduce youth criminal offending and antisocial behaviour. The results were based on working with over 300 families who were monitored over a one year period, and over 90 families were monitored over 3 years. He has also used the Human Givens Approach to help get parents back into work, and youth back into school.

The aim of this book is to add to your toolbox of strategies, skills and techniques that you already use with parents and families.

This book is written for professionals working within a social work setting that would like to integrate a Human Givens Approach into their practice. So worker may work within Family Link Work Services, Family Resource Services, Children's Social Services, or a wide variety of other keyworker services where your role is to support parents of challenging teens.
