The Importance Of Psychotherapy in Children and Adolescents
In overcoming psychiatric and psychological problems in childhood and adolescent periods, and with the help of child-adolescent psychiatrist in required aituations; psychotherapy plays a crucial role. Psychotherapy includes a program planned according to the child’s or adolescent’s needs. For example, for a child suffering from “Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder” experts perform activities such as special education, attention training, learning techniques, behaviour studies, urge control activities, stress management (Neurobipfeedback activities), personality development, social skills training (communication, empathy, problem solving) etc.
For obsessive compulsive disorder, experts use cognitive behavioral techniques in addition to personality development and social skills training. A level of awareness is provided towards the individual’s obsessions and he/she is given several assignments. As different from adult psychotherapy, counselling of the family and school becomes more important and supportive. In cases where this cooperation cannot be provided, the level of imporvement will be limited.
The purpose of psychotherapy is avoiding recurrences of problems by eliminating situations which cause the problem as well as treating the psychiatric illness.
