NURS6640 Week 9 Discussion: Counseling Adolescents Walden University
The adolescent population is often referred to as “young adults,” but in some ways,
this is a misrepresentation. Adolescents are not children, but they are not yet
adults either. This transition from childhood to adulthood often poses many
unique challenges to working with adolescent clients, particularly in terms of
disruptive behavior. In your role, you must overcome these behaviors to
effectively counsel clients. For this Discussion, as you examine the Disruptive
Behaviors media in this week’s Learning Resources, consider how you might
assess and treat adolescent clients presenting with disruptive behavior.
