Assessment and Intervention with Children, Adolescents, and Adults with Neurocognitive Challenges
View through CrossRef
Neurodivergent children, adolescents, and adults demonstrate both learning and attention challenges that contribute to academic, social, and workplace failures. The emotional consequences of these disorders can often include lowered self-esteem, pervasive feelings of shame, profound insecurity about academic skills, and a deep sense of vulnerability. This leads many individuals with neurocognitive difficulties to consult with psychotherapists for help in alleviating their psychiatric symptoms. Nechama Sorscher argues that it is therefore essential for clinicians to be mindful of the various types of learning disorders and their impact on the developing psyche while facilitating insight and awareness of these issues.Assessment and Intervention with Children, Adolescents, and Adults with Neurocognitive Challenges: A Psychodynamic Perspectiveprovides an overview of the different types of learning disorders, reviews the literature on common psychological themes found in the psychotherapy of individuals with these disorders, and offers practical suggestions for treatment, as illustrated in case histories. This book discusses how to accurately assess and successfully intervene with children, adolescents, and adults with learning disabilities, attention disorders, and autism spectrum disorder.
