Dialectical Behavioral Therapy for Multi-problem Teens and their Families

An adaptation of DBT was created to treat emotional instability in adolescents by Dr. Alec Miller & Dr. Jill Rathus. In this program, the teen receives one-on-one treatment, but skills training is done with the teen & parents together in a multi-family skills class. In this format, families can support each other while all learning and using the same skills, so that skillful behaviors can be rewarded & family conflict is reduced.
