This research paper undertakes the beginning steps of an intervention model for use in residential facilities. The value of art therapy with adolescent girls who struggle with self-harming behaviors is addressed through a contemporary lens, and the suggested interventions were created within the frame of a solution-focused approach. The review and analysis of literature surrounding group art therapy with female adolescents, the specific issues encountered by female adolescents and those who self-injure, the role of mindfulness, and considerations regarding attachment needs, will provide support for the concept of a self-care themed art therapy group for female adolescents. A psychodynamic perspective will be used to understand the experience of adolescence and group session dynamics in art therapy. The structure of the art therapy group intervention will be described, including duration and session content, and sample art directives and group rituals are suggested through which the theme of self-care may be explored.

Art Therapy Practices for Resilient Youth highlights the paradigm shift to treating children and adolescents as "at-promise" rather than "at-risk." By utilizing a strength-based model that moves in opposition to pathology, this volume presents a client-allied modality wherein youth are given the opportunity to express emotions that can be difficult to convey using words. Working internationally with diverse groups of young people grappling with various forms of trauma, 30 contributing therapists share their processes, informed by current understandings of neurobiology, attachment theory, and developmental psychology. In addition to guiding principles and real-world examples, also included are practical directives, strategies, and applications. Together, this compilation highlights the promise of healing through the creative arts in the face of oppression.

Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a baffling, troubling, and hard to treat phenomenon that has increased markedly in recent years. Key issues in diagnosing and treating NSSI adequately include differentiating it from attempted suicide and other mental disorders, as well as understanding the motivations for self-injury and the context in which it occurs. This accessible and practical book provides therapists and students with a clear understanding of these key issues, as well as of suitable assessment techniques. It then goes on to delineate research-informed treatment approaches for NSSI, with an emphasis on functional assessment, emotion regulation, and problem solving, including motivational interviewing, interpersonal skills, CBT, DBT, behavioral management strategies, delay behaviors, exercise, family therapy, risk management, and medication, as well as how to successfully combine methods.
