Miscellaneous
In this interview, we discuss one of the most concerning problems facing therapists, adolescent depression and suicide. We explore an evidence-based therapy for treating it, attachment-based family therapy (ABFT). We delve into these topics in a focused interview where I interview Jonathan Singer Ph. D., Associate Professor of Social Work at Loyola University Chicago. First, we review the epidemic of adolescent suicide in American society then we talk about attachment-based family therapy (ABFT). Dr. Singer explains the theory behind ABFT, the five stages of this family therapy approach, and the main tasks and challenges of each stage. Throughout the discussion, Dr. Singer provides clear explanations and real-life examples to help you understand this powerful technique. Earn 1 CE (we are an APA-approved sponsor).
