Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to understand adolescents' expectations and preferences before starting dialectical behavior therapy for adolescents (DBT-A), using a specially developed survey called the Adolescent Expectancies for Therapy Scale (AETS).
- Participants included 21 adolescents aged 13-18 from diverse backgrounds, who completed the AETS and a Preferences Rating Form to express their treatment preferences.
- Results showed that adolescents had moderate expectations for DBT-A outcomes, with many preferring some separation from parents during group sessions and suggesting the addition of weekly teen-only support groups, highlighting the importance of tailoring treatment to their preferences for better engagement.
