The Analysis of Causes and Treatments of Adolescents' Psychological Disorders in China

Abstract

According to the Report on Development of Youth in China, about 30 million children and adolescents under the age of 17 are suffering from various mood disorders and behavioral problems. Studies have pointed out the worsening effect of the lack of personality development in schools and the backwardness of family values on this phenomenon. Under this circumstance, this study mainly focuses on how family factors and school education deteriorate emotional disorders of adolescents. In addition, this study also discusses the possible treatments, drama therapy, and psychological counseling in alleviating adolescent emotional disorders. The Integrative Five Phase Model, the Role Method, and Developmental Transformation are three approaches introduced in this study in drama therapy. In the end, this study explored the impacts of family and school as contributors to emotional disorder and the alleviating effects brought by drama therapy and psychological counseling. This paper hopes to contribute to the development of mental health in adolescents.
