Understanding the Angry Adolescent - A Psychiatrist's Perspective

Adolescence can be a difficult period for both parents and the child. What makes an angry adolescent? Why is it so hard to communicate with them? What are they thinking now? This book summarizes the skills and experiences required for managing and treating adolescents and is not limited to managing adolescents in a psychiatric setting. Physicians from other disciplines may also use the guides given in the book for their interactions with adolescent clients. This book may also be used as a parenting aid, and provide a new perspective of the issues troubling the adolescents and how the parents can modify their interactions with their children to improve the family dynamics. The book can be read by parents of young children, as the correct parenting skills can result in less frustrated adolescents as they grow up. They will have better bonding with the parents as well. This book encapsulates 20 years of working experience with adolescents from a Psychiatrist's perspective and hope to guide the readers to having better relationships with them.
