| Summary: | Government guidelines for mental health interventions emphasise the importance of taking young people's views into account. This review examines what is known from the adolescent's perspective in research investigating the outcome of psychological therapies. The literature in three mental health domains that are particularly relevant to adolescence is focussed on: anorexia nervosa, depression and antisocial behaviour. Both quantitative and qualitative studies are examined and what has been asked of adolescents is explored. This rev iew highlights what can be learnt from eliciting adolescents' views and considers how these v iews can better inform treatment. |
