Participation of children and adolescents in counselling : empirical findings and implications for practice
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper reflects the experiences of young people in child guidance and family counselling. For this purpose, first the institutional background of these counselling services in Germany is outlined. The fact that the adolescents concerned feel partly excluded and insufficiently integrated into the counselling process is illustrated through qualitative analysis of the experiences 17 young people had during their counselling process. These empirical findings are critically discussed in terms of the institutional conditions and methodical approaches which counteract the involvement of the actual addressees of the counselling service. The closing thoughts include methodical options for a stronger orientation of professional behaviour towards facilitating participation.
