Adolescent Therapy
  Adolescents are obviously different from adults, and must be approached differently in a therapeutic setting. The therapist will consider their many factors, including individual developmental issues, values and belief systems, age, gender, cultural background, and environmental considerations - particularly peer influences.

Therapists often will not prematurely diagnose or label adolescents as this may do more psychological harm than good in the long run. In addition, therapists will often involve the adolescent's family. Naturally, the family can be a powerful support system and agent of change in the adolescent's development. In particular, those therapists who are trained in Family Systems theory - which focuses on the role of the family as a whole who works together to maintain a balance (whether functional or dysfunctional) - will strive to involve the entire family in treatment.
