Understanding Subjective Depressive Experiences of Adolescents: Its Implications to Intervention

KS Yip


Abstract

Subjective experiences of depression are easily ignored by professionals in working with adolescents with depression. Professionals may only diagnose and label rather than listen, understand and communicate these subjective experiences. In this paper, the writer asserts the importance of the subjective experiences of adolescent clients with depression in intervention. All these experiences influence the expression, communication and coping of clients in facing their depression. The writer suggests ways to reconstruct the subjective experiences of adolescent clients with depression. Based on this, the writer constructs a model in intervention with adolescent clients with depression.
