Intervening in Adolescent Problem Behavior
A Family-Centered Approach
A Family-Centered Approach
Thomas J. Dishion and Kate Kavanagh
This book presents a multilevel intervention and prevention program for at-risk adolescents and their families. Grounded in over 15 years of important clinical and developmental research, the Adolescent Transitions Program (ATP) has been nationally recognized as a best practice for strengthening families and reducing adolescent substance use and antisocial behavior. The major focus is to support parents' skills and motivation to reduce adolescent problem behavior and promote success. Spelling out the why, what, and how of this proactive, culturally informed intervention, the volume provides all of the materials needed to implement the program in school or community settings, including reproducible handouts and forms.
