Look beyond angry behaviour and find ways to reach defensive teens. When teens are clearly troubled this book can help. If feelings of rejection, anxiety and low self-esteem overwhelm, they may withdraw or vent their anger through anti-social behaviour.

This comprehensive resource contains vital theory and practice, tools and techniques as well as case studies from contributors with extensive hands-on experience of working with troubled young people. The extensive selection of illustrated worksheets and exercises have been developed in consultation with teenagers themselves, and will be a vital aid to helping young people deal with their feelings.

  • Full of practical ways to connect with young people
  • Learn how to initiate and develop conversations
  • Includes key parenting skills
  • Experienced contributors offer tried-and-tested interventions
  • Understand what lies behind aggressive behaviour
  • Help teens address their feelings so they don't act inappropriately
  • Learn why youngsters move into anti-social behaviour
  • Worksheets developed with teens address key feelings and issues
  • Use the worksheets to connect in a non-confrontational way
  • Outlines research and brain science about what makes young people offend

A vital resource for professionals and parents who seek to help teens who struggle with anger and feelings of alienation.
