Using Treating the Tough Adolescent as a text provides my students with a clear, concise understanding of the strategic therapy model and its applicationMany students (as well as veteran therapists) are intimidated by the idea of working with out-of-control teens and their families.

Bradley, PhD, Department of Family Therapy, Texas Woman's University
This book is a gem. Sells provides front-line clinicians with a step-by-step road map for doing effective family therapy with difficult adolescents.

Dr. Sells's approach, which is theoretically derived, extensively researched, and carefully refined, is logical, considerate, eminently practical, and easy to follow. His explanations of what to do, why to do it, and how to do it should be accessible and useful to all. --from the Foreword by Neil Schiff
