Child and adolescent psychotherapy

Therapy with children and adolescents is an animal of a different color compared to traditional adult therapy in which a verbal adult sits on a chair and reflects on his/her feelings while the therapist listens closely to each word.

chandigarh, India (prHWY.com) December 6, 2011 - Ethics is defined as a system of moral principles and rules of conduct recognised with respect to a particular class of human actions or a particular group (1). Ethical issues in child and adolescent psychotherapy and psychiatry have been addressed by organisations related to child psychiatry, worldwide. These rules and regulations bind child and adolescent psychiatrists to a code that supports quality care for the proper treatment of child and adolescent psychiatric problems. These rules are essential for the betterment of children, their families, and society at large.

Using the most basic example of the difference between children/adolescents and adults centers on one well established method for dealing with the limitation of communicating with children, play therapy. There, a child is able to convey their experience through the act of play. Play therapy involves simply a different language, a symbolic language that requires a well trained professional to decipher. Frequently though, skeptical parents may say "all the therapist does is play with my child." But, this play has a special language to it, a language that children and well trained attentive adults understand. It is not so simple as board games or the like, rather an open ended form of expression that allows the child to utilize the full extent of their own symbolic language to convey their message, to communicate about the problems they are facing.
