Psychosocial Treatment for Youth with Bi-polar Spectrum Disorders and Their Families

Tina R Goldstein PHD is the Endowed Pittsburgh Foundation Professor of Psychiatry. This Podcast focuses upon DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Treatment) for children and youth, a cognitive therapy, with special consideration of teaching skills for everyday life with patients and their families. This is an excellent example of deploying evidence- based therapy and intervention for psychiatric and psychological disorders that potentially include suicidal behavior.
