Adolescents are more likely than any other age groups to engage in
behaviors that contribute to injuries, violence, unintended
pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases, and reckless alcohol,
tobacco, and drug use. At-risk adolescents may also exhibit signs
of moodiness, aggression, and even self-injury, and these behaviors
often cause parents, teachers, and clinicians to become extremely
frustrated. Adolescents themselves may even believe that change is
impossible.
Drawing on proven-effective dialectical behavior therapy (DBT),
"Dialectical Behavior Therapy for At-Risk Adolescents" is the first
reader-friendly and easily accessible DBT book specifically
targeted to mental health professionals treating adolescents who
may be dangerous to themselves or others. If you work with
adolescents who exhibit at-risk behavior, you know how important it
is to take immediate action. However, you may also have trouble
"breaking through" the barrier that these young people can build
around themselves. This book can help.
The DBT skills outlined in this book are evidence-based, and have
been clinically proven to help build emotion regulation skills,
which are useful for all age groups, though perhaps especially for
the millions of at-risk adolescents experiencing depression,
anxiety, anger, and the myriad behaviors that can result from these
emotions. This book also includes practical handouts and exercises
that can be used in individual therapy sessions, skills training
groups, school settings, and when working with parents and
caregivers.
Adolescents stand at the precipice of the future, and the
decisions they make now can have life-long impacts. By showing them
how to manage their emotions and deal with the stresses that are
common in day-to-day life, you are arming them with the tools they
will need to succeed and thrive.
