Teens Who Hurt: Clinical Interventions to Break the Cycle of Adolescent Violence by
Kenneth V Hardy and Tracey A Laszloffy (USA)
Price: $
59.50
(incl. GST) + shipping. Change currency
The respected authors’ approach is based on the premise that violent adolescents are not just ‘bad’ or ‘mad’, but rather are fundamentally hurt (thus the ambiguity of the term ‘hurt’ in the title). For some teenagers, this hurt turns into violence toward others or themselves. In short, this book details the kind of heartbreaking losses that too many young people experience (a prime loss being their own sense of self-worth), reveals how these losses are often unacknowledged and describes how the natural emotional rage that accompanies such losses can result in violence. Hardy and Laszloffy are clear to point out that rage is not the problem, however. The critical issue involves what they do with their rage. They offer skills and strategies for harnessing and directing the power of their rage positively so that it shapes and creates rather than attacks and destroys.
