Family-Centered Treatment With Struggling Young Adults: A ClinicianÆs Guide to the Transition From Adolescence to Autonomy

Family Therapy With Struggling Young Adultsis an indispensible guidebook to the unique set of problems and opportunities that families face when young adults are hesitant to pull anchor and set sail. Renowned clinician Brad Sachs provides both a conceptual framework for understanding the reasons behind the increasing number of young adults who are experiencing difficulty achieving psychological and financial self-reliance, and a treatment framework that will enable practitioners to help these young adults and their families to get unstuck and experience age/stage-appropriate growth and development. Clinicians will gain an in-depth understanding of the complex psychological challenges that parents and young adults face as the latter forges a path towards success and self-reliance. And they'll come away from the book having learned an innovative approach to promoting family communication-one that reduces tension, resolves conflicts, and promotes growth and self-esteem on both generations' parts.
