The diversity and distinctiveness of the college student population--as well as the unique characteristics of the collegiate clinical setting--pose special challenges for professionals who staff college mental health services and counseling centers. COLLEGE PSYCHOTHERAPY provides a realistic view of the problems and issues confronting today's college psychotherapists and counselors. Nearly two dozen prominent professionals from a cross-section of institutions--colleges and universities, large and small schools, private and public institutions--explain how they handle frequently encountered problems. Among the specific topics addressed are: * suicide and other crises * substance abuse * academic underachievement * anorexia nervosa and bulimia * family problems * sexual problems * and AIDS. Also examined are problems unique to ethnic and international students; older, returning students; adult children of alcoholics; and chronically disturbed students. The illuminating case studies and vignettes featured throughout these discussions yield valuable insights about these problems. Pragmatic in its approach, COLLEGE PSYCHOTHERAPY explores the difficulties college students experience, the conclusions therapists draw, and the exchanges that typically take place in the client-therapist relationship. The ways in which the collegiate setting influences the therapeutic process are discussed in detail, as well as problems of privacy, confidentiality, and time constraints on treatment. COLLEGE PSYCHOTHERAPY provides practical assistance to beginning and experienced college therapists alike. In addition, school administrators, student affairs personnel, and members of campus ministries will find authoritative guidance in the common yet complex student problems that they are called upon to handle. It is also an ideal text for graduate program courses, practica, and internships on counseling or on adolescents and young adults.
