ABSTRACT
The treatment of personality-disordered adolescents remains a therapeutic challenge. These adolescents manifest behaviors that cause significant impairment in social and occupational functioning or subjective distress (American Psychiatric Association, 1987). As for other adolescent psychopathology, there is no single psychotherapeutic method that is suitable to all. These problem children are still in great need of parental support, and the difficulties of their family are important and intermingled with their own individual problems. A multilevel approach, including family therapy, appears to be indicated.
