“…The client is empowered to brace up for the forthcoming change in her life and adaptation to the pending normal life. According to (Geldard, 2005), counselling can be viewed as an interpersonal relationship between someone actively seeking help and someone trained and willing to give help in an environment that allows help to be given and received. The research findings concur with these definitions because in counselling as a tool to rehabilitate and reintegrate prostitutes into the society, the client need to be actively seeking help which shows her readiness to deal with the maladaptive behaviour and readiness to live a normal life with less chances of relapsing.…”

The research design used in this study was a case study. In addition, interviews and questionnaires were also used as research instruments. The data obtained from observations and interviews were presented in themes. The research revealed that counselling is an important intervention strategy in rehabilitating and reintegrating prostitutes into the society. The study also found out that respondents understood the definition of counselling in regard to rehabilitation and reintegrating prostitutes into the society as a helping relationship where prostitutes shun prostitution and return back to the society to live their ‘normal’ life. Short lived projects such as poultry and donation of basic commodity hampers are some of the intervention strategies being done in rehabilitation and reintegrating prostitutes into the society. Lack of sufficient funding and top-bottom approach are some of the challenges being faced in rehabilitating and reintegrating prostitutes into the society. Also, prostitutes input is being left out in coming up with intervention strategies to help them and a blanket strategy is being provided using the top-bottom approach regardless of different geographical settings among other considerations. This research also found out that counselling alone cannot be an effective strategy in rehabilitating and reintegrating prostitutes into society.

“…The author adapted the eco-map in the therapy setting with UASA, by using miniature physical objects as symbols to represent people and other important relationships and belief systems [61]. Psychotherapy work with symbols was originally conceptualised by Carl Jung, [62,63], who used symbols with clients to allow unconscious material to be brought into conscious thinking. This approach is particularly useful when working with adolescents, as the process of adolescent individuation and self-awareness development involves an interaction between the unconscious and conscious self [64].…”

Adolescences Disrupted in Displacement: The Protective Effect of Friends as Proxy Family for Unaccompanied Adolescent Refugees Resettling in Ireland

Adolescences

It has become very clear throughout my psychotherapy work with unaccompanied and separated adolescents (UASA) in Ireland, that friendships often provide a critical source of protective psychosocial support within adolescences frequently interrupted by conflict, violence and perilous journeys. Although the increasing importance of friendships in adolescence and more specifically during times of adolescent stress, is well-documented, friendships are likely to be brought into even sharper focus during unaccompanied adolescent displacement, as they typically take on functions more traditionally associated with the absent family. This qualitative exploration of the protective effect of friendships for UASA uses reflexive thematic analysis to analyse composite clinical case material and composite eco-maps to capture the lived friendship experiences of UASA. The data clearly illustrates that UASA friendships provide a safe, accepting, protective space and enabling context in which they can gain psychological and practical peer support and approval.

“…As such, a certain trust and ability to communicate symptoms may need to be developed with the person before there is ▲ Approaches to Children, Young People and Mental Health 185 ▲ full and accurate disclosure that would contribute to accurate diagnosis. Such communication with children and adolescents is often difficult in time-limited and resource-deficient situations, particularly among children who live in quite chaotic life circumstances (Geldard & Geldard, 2002). Consequently, disorders among children may be diagnosed on the basis of reports from significant adults, reports that may be affected by bias, misunderstanding, misinterpretation, the reporter's agenda for presenting the child, or mental disorder of the reporting adult him-or herself (Vernon, 2004).…”

“…The importance of the therapeutic alliance has been emphasised in many studies in terms of bringing about change (Martin, Garske, & Davis, 2000), especially among children and young people (Geldard & Geldard, 2002). In recognising the importance of this alliance, the role of the therapist as person must then be acknowledged.…”

Approaches to Children, Young People and Mental Health: Confusion in the Ranks, Confusion Among the Commanders

The need to provide support for the mental health needs of children and young people is not in dispute. However, there does exist confusion as to the most appropriate means and methods of providing such support. This confusion is particularly evident among those who work closely in providing daily for the mental health needs of children and young people, yet who lack specific mental health training. The confusion is heightened by the fact that those who have developed expertise in mental health cannot offer a consensual approach. This article discusses this confusion and its implications for other sectors by considering some of the theoretical and practical debates in the psychological literature concerning the most effective approaches to mental health interventions. Some commonsense recommendations from this literature for those working with children are offered.
