TREATING ADOLESCENTS WITH FAMILY-BASED MINDFULN...

A new take on therapeutic mindfulness with specific applications to troubled and delinquent
youth is the focus of this innovative text. It introduces Family Mode Deactivation Therapy
(FMDT) and its core concepts and methodologies  differentiating it from other cognitive and
mindfulness therapies for adolescents with problem behaviors and comorbid conditions. Step by
step applications of FMDT from case conceptualization to assessment and treatment are featured
with detailed case studies demonstrating its effectiveness in treating mood disorders 
aggressive behavior and trauma and guidelines for its use with abusive families and other
complex cases. The book's depth of clinical detail and appendix of therapist tools make it
especially practical. Included in the coverage: A comparison of MDT with other cognitive
approaches. The empirical status of MDT. Mindfulness in MDT process  and in the treatment room.
FMDT and sexual offender youth. MDT and mindfulness in the context of trauma. Treating the
untreatable: FMDT and challenging populations. While Treating Adolescents with Family-Based
Mindfulness is immediately useful to practicing psychotherapists  it should also be of interest
to other professionals with a role in adolescent health care  such as policymakers  social
workers  supervisors  juvenile corrections and youth center personnel and students and
researchers.
