TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - Dialectical behavior therapy for suicidal adolescents with borderline personality disorder JO - Child and adolescent psychiatric clinics of North America A1 - Klein, Dena A. A1 - Miller, Alison L. SP - 205 EP - 216 VL - 20 IS - 2 N2 - Although research to date on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) for adolescents has its limitations, growing evidence suggests that DBT is a promising treatment for adolescents with a range of problematic behaviors, including but not limited to suicidal and nonsuicidal self-injury. This article introduces dialectical behavior therapy's theoretical underpinnings, describes its adaptation for suicidal adolescents, and provides a brief review of the empirical literature evaluating DBT with adolescents.
