摘要
青春期可能是一个敏感的时期,包括个人身体、情感和社会福祉的重大变化,有时是具有挑战性的变化。这一发展阶段可能对集体家庭单位构成挑战。照顾者必须调整育儿的几个方面,因为他们在孩子小时候建立的规则和界限可能与青少年在继续发展和成熟时感到受到限制的规则和界限相同。对于有心理健康问题的青少年来说,这一时期可能更具挑战性。在布拉德利医院,针对青少年的几个项目包括个人、家庭和团体门诊项目,住院和部分住院水平,以及强化门诊项目。鼓励父母积极参与所有这些形式的治疗,通常是通过家庭治疗。家庭治疗是必不可少的,以确保可持续的长期变化治疗环境之外。行为、沟通和家庭关系的失调或功能障碍的主题出现在家庭治疗会议中。了解这些主题和潜在的解决方案可以使布拉德利医院系统内外的家庭受益。虽然家庭有各自的挑战和优势,但照顾者和青少年认为,开放的沟通和青少年主导的对话有助于提高家庭功能(Bandura et al., 2011)。
Managing the challenges of adolescence through improved family functioning
Adolescence can be a sensitive time encompassing significant, sometimes challenging, changes in an individual's physical, emotional, and social well-being. This developmental stage can involve challenges for the collective family unit. Caregivers must adjust several aspects of parenting, as the rules and boundaries they established when their child was younger can be the same ones adolescents feel confined by as they continue to develop and mature. This period can be even more challenging for adolescents with mental health challenges. At Bradley Hospital, several programs for adolescents in distress include individual, family, and group outpatient programs, inpatient and partial levels of hospitalization, and intensive outpatient programs. Parents are encouraged to actively engage in treatment in all these modalities, often through family therapy. Family therapy is essential in ensuring sustainable long-term changes outside the therapy environment. Themes of dysregulation or dysfunction in behavior, communication, and family relationships emerge in family therapy sessions. Understanding these themes and potential solutions can benefit families in and out of the Bradley Hospital system. While families have individual challenges and strengths, caregivers and adolescents identified that open communication and adolescent-directed conversations support a high sense of family functioning (Bandura et al., 2011).
