The thriving adolescent : using acceptance and commitment therapy and positive psychology to help teens manage emotions, achieve goals, and build connection / Louise L. Hayes, PHD, Joseph Ciarrochi, PHD

By: Hayes, Louise L [author]Contributor(s): Ciarrochi, Joseph [author]Publisher: Oakland, CA : Context Press, an imprint of New Harbinger Publications, Inc., [2015]Description: xi, 305 pages ; 26 cmISBN: 9781608828029 (paperback)Subject(s): Stress in adolescence | Acceptance and commitment therapy | Mindfulness | Emotions | Social skills | Teenager | Adolescent | PsychologySummary: The Thriving Adolescent offers teachers, counsellors, and mental health professionals powerful techniques based in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and positive psychology to help adolescents manage emotions, connect with their values, utilise mindfulness, and develop healthy relationships. The book includes worksheets, exercises, and scripts focused on helping young people develop the tools they need as they transition into adulthood. We've developed a simple yet powerful approach to working with young people, called DNA-V. It's based on the framework of contextual behavioural science, which takes a philosophical approach of functional contextualism and incorporates scientific knowledge from evolutionary science principles (variation, selection, and retention for the purposes of adaptation), operant principles (for contingent learning), relational frame theory (for language and cognition), and acceptance and commitment therapy (for applied mindfulness and behaviour change). We also include applied knowledge on growth and development gained from positive psychology interventions in schools. Audience: Professional
