Pastor's Shelf - Counseling Help

Pastor's Study

Author - Dr. Les Parrott III
Publisher - Zondervan Publishing
	Helping Your Struggling Teenager - A Parenting Handbook on 36 Common Problems
	Helping the Struggling Adolescent - A Guide to 36 Common Problems for Counselors, Pastors & Youth Workers

Favorite Features:

both books clearly explain the 36 problems teens may face - how to recognize the problem and how to handle it
the counselor's version provides 43 rapid assessment tests to help counselors discern where the teen is in relation to specific problems
each problem includes information on what the struggle looks like, why it happens, how to help and when to refer

These books provide helpful information to help parents and youth workers learn to recognize, understand and help teens with specific problems. While these books are not all a parent/counselor needs to effectively counsel teens, they do give a place to start, a direction to head and information to help you recognize when to refer the teen to professional help. Very well done Les and Zondervan Publishing.
