      abstract = {"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"--},
