Clearly, effective interventions for this population are essential. However, research also suggests that due in part to deficits in executive functioning (e.g., memory, organization, planning), youth with disruptive behavior disorders are unlikely to benefit from interventions drawing strictly from cognitive or insight-based therapies. Therefore, the literature regarding counseling and therapy for adolescents seems to divide along two general lines: 1) a rich and growing counseling literature on internalizing disorders (e.g., CBT for social anxiety) and transition planning (e.g., college and career counseling), and 2) an equivocal counseling literature on externalizing disorders, where theory, research, and practice are rarely integrated.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe proposed book bridges the gaps in the literature by integrating research and practice specific to the difficulties experienced by adolescents with disruptive behavior disorders. Much of our discussion will be based on our research of the Challenging Horizons Program and the High School Treatment Development Project conducted at James Madison University. During the course of these studies, graduate and undergraduate students have been trained to build alliances with adolescents, their teachers, and their families for the purpose of implementing evidence-based interventions. \u003cem\u003eCounseling Adolescents with Disruptive Behavior Disorders\u003c\/em\u003e describes this process in detail--drawing directly from the research and the relevant literature--with a focus on how this research can inform practice. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis therapeutic approach is best described as \"solution-focused\" because it uses a trans-theoretical model, similar to that advocated by Steve de Shazer, John J. Murphy, and others. \u003cem\u003eCounseling Adolescents with Disruptive Behavior Disorders\u003c\/em\u003e builds on this tradition by describing how these concepts and techniques can be applied to youth with disruptive behaviors, while providing the reader with specific intervention ideas, troubleshooting strategies, and research findings from these studies and others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis innovative volume details counseling interventions for secondary students with ADHD and its associated academic and conduct problems, particularly focusing on youth at risk for developing serious disruptive behaviors. It addresses the continuing debate over counseling for youths with ADHD by identifying key elements common to reputable therapies and suggesting a framework for their successful implementation. The core of the book discusses the Challenging Horizons Program (CHP), a behavior- and solutions-focused approach to counseling adolescents with ADHD that has been studied extensively for more than 15 years. Based on the quality of research, the CHP has been included in the National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices maintained by the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). Excerpts from actual sessions illustrate typical therapist-client interactions in the CHP, and sample modules from the program's treatment literature expand the book's descriptions of effective hands-on interventions. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCounseling skills featured in this book include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridging the research-into-practice divide.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEstablishing a therapeutic alliance with students with ADHD.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeveloping and implementing interventions for memory, organization, and planning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnhancing young clients' social skills.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnlisting family members in the intervention process.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorking directly with teachers to improve student behaviors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eA Practical Guide to Implementing School-Based Interventions for Adolescents with ADHD \u003c\/i\u003eis an essential resource for researchers, clinicians and related professionals, and graduate students in such disciplines as school and clinical child psychology, social work, educational psychology, psychotherapy and counseling, and learning and instruction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBrandon K.
