Adolescent
Threapy

Adolescents are living in an exciting time of change and confusion.
Learning to deal with the stressors of a changing body, peer pressure,
academic challenges, and cooperative living in the home can be a
challenge. A nonjudgmental listener can assist the teenager in exploring
different roles and opportunities for changing behaviors.
Dr. Bateman believes that if the adolescent is having difficulty the parents
are probably also experiencing frustration with this developmental phase.
Consequently, Ken only sees teenagers whose parents are willing to be
involved in therapy also.
Issues addressed in these sessions include testing for ADHD (if it appears
needed) and organizational skills for academic performance; addressing
behavior and social skills; and learning to cooperate with parents. Dr.
Bateman’s philosophy is that the adolescent is best served if he/she can
stay in the home. If, however, there is a crisis that calls for out-of-the-
home placement, websites and literature can be shared with the parents
for their investigation of programs that fit both the family and the
adolescents needs.
