“Joining Techniques” in the Treatment of Resistant Children and Adolescents
Abstract
Several clinical vignettes illustrate types of resistive children and adolescents: the shrugger, the silent child, the rose-colored-glass child, the mistrustful adolescent, the cheater and rule changer, the thrower. Several joining techniques are demonstrated such as hypervaluing, tutoring the therapist, ordering, and mirroring. Limited anxiety, enhanced ego strength, and facilitated therapy result. Neal Miller’s conflict model provides a theoretical framework for the approach.
