Parental Involvement in Psychosocial Distress Among Self-Harming Adolescents in a DBT Program

This study aims to examine the influence of parental involvement on psychosocial distress among self-harming adolescents receiving Dialectical Behavior Therapy. We hypothesized that increases in parental involvement will predict decreases in adolescent psychosocial distress. Within our sample of 14 participants, parental involvement did not significantly predict psychosocial distress among adolescents.
