청소년의 심리정서적 욕구와 단기가족치료의 접근 = The Adolescent' s Psycho - Emotional Needs and the Approach of Solution - focused Brief Family Therapy

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper suggests that problems of adolescents are natural incidents resulting from adolescents' biological, psychological and social transformation. In adolescence, the youngster is psychosocially enforced to complete his/her developmental tasks, such as achieving self-identity, independence, and career although he/she is not ready to achieve them. This gap results in emotional conflicts and problems among adolescents. In this resptect, the psychosocial approach is the useful way of conceptualizing the problems and advancing the possibilities for effective treatment.
Among the effective psychotherapies, this paper presents the Solution-focuced Brief Family Therapy as the most powerful intervention working with adolescents. Out of the ecological context, such as family, peers, school, community, the SFBFT therapist focuses on family as the primary system causing adolescent's problems. The adolescent is extremely vulnerable to changes within his/her family system as well as his/her own developmental transformation. Due to this influence of a family system, therapist working with the disturbed adolescents primarily helps their families to change parent-child relationships and child-rearing skills in order to match family system with adolescents' developmental needs.
