Adolescents who've been traumatized frequently act out in violent or aggressive ways. Labeling troubled youth as "bad" or "mad" overlooks the unmourned losses in their lives and the anesthetizing pull of violence. In this workshop, we'll explore a treatment model that emphasizes working with violent kids' rage, counteracting their devaluation, and rehumanizing their losses. You'll learn how to use the Loss Diagram to identify the tangible and intangible losses teen clients have experienced, to help them begin to mourn. We'll discuss the therapeutic qualities necessary to accept and validate clients whose behavior seems intolerable, to develop therapeutic relationships that can reclaim those lost kids. We'll give special attention to the needs of teenagers in juvenile detention, residential treatment, and foster care.
