Filling a tremendous need, this highly practical book adapts the proven techniques of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to treatment of multiproblem adolescents at highest risk for suicidal behavior and self-injury. The authors are master clinicians who take the reader step by step through understanding and assessing severe emotional dysregulation in teens and implementing individual, family, and group-based interventions. Insightful guidance on everything from orientation to termination is enlivened by case illustrations and sample dialogues. Appendices feature 30 mindfulness exercises as well as lecture notes and 12 reproducible handouts for "Walking the Middle Path," a DBT skills training module for adolescents and their families. Purchasers get access to a Web page where they can download and print these handouts and several other tools from the book in a convenient 8 1/2" x 11" size.

Industry Reviews
"This book is a creative synthesis of the new and old that offers a useful treatment manual to be applied and further tested with the taxing population of suicidal adolescents....An excellent work....The ideas and tools are well explained, inviting application, skill building, and ultimately analysis of the effectiveness of this approach. This work goes a long way toward moving us forward in treating this most taxing dilemma of treating suicidal adolescents. This is a nice synthesis. Well done."
