EP 171 ARE WAYWARD KIDS CHANGEABLE?
It’s seems as if we have a lot of young people today who are adrift, particularly our boys, and they have no direction home. And the ways we go about trying to ‘reform’ them don’t work. Jails aren’t the answer. Detention doesn’t result in changed behavior.. So, what do we do? Dr. J. Stuart Ablon, director of ‘Think:Kids’ in the Department of Psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital and an associate clinical professor at Harvard Medical School, thinks the answer is collaborative problem solving. And he’s got a lot of empirical evidence to prove it. In his book ‘Changeable’ he he offers options that can change lives at home, school and work. And he joins us on this podcast to share his research. We have other episode on the crisis with our kids including the boy’s crisis episode #133 and boys adrift episode #132
