The ""Troubled"" Adolescent: Challenges and Resilience Within Family and Multicultural Contexts is written for students and clinicians who want to learn about adolescent behavioral health and psychosocial development. It focuses on the experiences of culturally diverse adolescents and families including, but not limited to, diversity based on race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, spirituality, ability/disability status, age, nationality, language, and socioeconomic status. Written from a bioecological and strength-based perspective, it views adolescents as having the power to initiate growth and recover from setbacks.

The book is clinically focused and intended to build readers’ multicultural competence when working with youth and families. Six chapters focus on challenges and treatment for specific concerns, such as trauma- and stressor-related disorders, depression and anxiety, suicidal and nonsuicidal self-injury, eating disturbances, substance use disorders, and disruptive behaviors. The book balances theory and application, and provides information about screening, diagnosis (based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, DSM-5), prevention, and treatment. Chapters contain case vignettes, self-reflective questions, discussion questions, suggestions for working with adolescents, and key terms. Special attention is given to family and cultural expressions and explanations for symptoms. Interactive learning opportunities are included as QR codes to meet diverse learning needs and to help readers apply information.

Reviews for The Troubled Adolescent: Challenges and Resilience within Family and Multicultural Contexts

""Through skillful use of case vignettes and reflection questions, Lovell and White bridge theory and clinical practice to foster a strengths-based understanding of adolescents within a bioecological context. This book is an indispensable resource for anyone seeking to cultivate multicultural competence in their work with adolescents and their families."" - Omar G. Gudiño, University of Kansas, USA ""This book is very timely given the diverse representation of society. This edition is a remarkable piece of work that highlights cultural complexity and addresses the intersections of race, gender, and sexuality. The vignettes are particularly useful applications for clinicians and resources for teaching psychology courses."" – Erlanger A. Turner, University of Houston-Downtown, USA
