Brief Psychosocial Intervention for Adolescents: Keep it Simple; Do it Well (Original PDF from Publisher)

Revolutionary Talking Therapy for Adolescent Depression: A Breakthrough in Mental Health Care

Author: Ian Goodyer and Raphael Kelvin

Adolescence is a critical period in life when clinical depression often emerges. In fact, 70% of all mental health issues that recur throughout a person’s life begin during this stage. Unfortunately, most interventions for young people have been developed with adults in mind. However, a groundbreaking talking therapy called Brief Psychotherapy for Adolescents (BPI) has been specifically designed for and with adolescents.

BPI is the culmination of thirty years of clinical experience working with mentally ill adolescents and two major randomized controlled trials of treatment. This innovative approach has been proven to be as effective as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in treating adolescent depression, with and without comorbid anxiety and conduct disorder.

A Brief yet Effective Solution

BPI can be taught to mental health practitioners in just sixteen hours, allowing them to immediately start delivering care. After a six-month supervision period, practitioners can offer evidence-based and NICE-approved treatment in their usual clinical practice.

This brief psychosocial intervention has the potential to revolutionize the way we approach mental health care for young people.
