Summary:Issues like violence, drinking, self-mutilation, and eating disorders are on the rise among teens. The author has more than 20 years of experience working with troubled teens as well as serving as a special consultant to major research centers including Yale and Columbia Universities. This book includes compelling stories of some of the author's patients - the problems they have struggled with and how they found their way to a healthier identity. Each story illustrates the issue of developing identity and how the author has helped these troubled teens. Each chapter concludes with practical information for parents to use in helping their children, plus a Q & A section that addresses the most common questions asked by parents and teens.
