Working Therapeutically With Young People
A Training Programme in Adolescent Mental Health
This new development for the north of England provides an escalator of training opportunities for professionals working directly with adolescents and young people.
The programme is specifically designed for those whose main interest or workload consists of work with young people. It covers the adolescent developmental process from a broad psychoanalytic perspective as well as taking into account biological and social influences on development. The programme provides an introduction to the problems and disturbances of adolescence.
"Adolescents pose a challenge to all who work with them. This programme explores ways of working with young people and offering an effective service for them.”
