✦ Synopsis

Adolescent sexual acting out behaviors frequently occur in the context of comorbid issues, such as depression, trauma, behavioral disorders, and developmental deficits, thus rendering any single treatment modality less effective. Augmenting traditional treatment with an existential‐humanistic perspective enables counselors to more effectively address a host of common co‐occurring conditions.
