“…In sum, we understand and place a great deal of emphasis on the therapist-teenager relationship as distinct from the therapist-parent relationship and agenda. We believe and are now testing the notion that each of these therapeutic alliances constitutes related but separate challenges in familybased adolescent therapy (Liddle, 1994&). Developmental knowledge (in areas such as identity formation, needs for autonomy, renegotiation of a new relationship with parents, greater affiliation with peers) guides assessment and intervention.…”

“…This finding has also been found in drug abuse treatment (Me Lellan et al, 1993). Today’s interventions for adolescents are also likely to be rooted in or least influenced by developmental knowledge (Kazdin, 1994; Kendall et al, 1984; Liddle & Schmidt, 1994; Shirk, 1988).…”

“…This knowledge reveals how important parents continue to be in the ongoing development of their children in the second decade of life (Steinberg, 1987). And, with some "translation," the knowledge/information offers intervention directions (Liddle & Schmidt, 1994; Sperling & Lyons, 1994). Even in the face of the development of problem behaviors related to drug use, parents can influence continuation or desistance of serious problem behaviors (Steinberg et al, 1994; Wills, 1990).…”

“…3In the area of adolescent psychotherapy, particularly adolescent treatment from a family systems perspective, there are few good models that are based deeply on adolescent development principles. Although some work has begun in this regard (Liddle et al, in press; Liddle & Schmidt, 1994; Selman & Schultz, 1990; Spivak, Platt, & Shure, 1974), it must be considered only at a beginning stage. There are more prototypes in the child literature of how developmental knowledge can guide interventions (see volume by Shirk, 1988).…”

Therapy with adolescents challenges even the most skilled clinicians. Teenagers are difficult to engage in treatment, and the systems in which they are involved (schools, juvenile justice) frequently do not understand or support therapy's goals. Adolescents with behavior and drug problems live in families characterized by emotional estrangement or turmoil, sometimes both. Adolescents showing problems are involved with peer systems that are difficult for therapists to understand because of their secretive nature. Parents of these adolescents have generally not found previous attempts at seeking help useful or effective. In the face of these formidable challenges, therapists work in settings in which they must carry large caseloads, too often with inadequate This article is based on a paper by the author delivered at a symposium titled "Engaging Family Members in Drug Abuse Treatment" (E. Rahdert, Chair) at the 1994 American Psychological Association Annual Meeting in Los Angeles.

“…Correspondingly, the philosophy, theory, and methods of our treatment model reflect the consensus of the field about this disorder (Newcomb, 1995;Segal, 1986). A commitment to study and use clinical and basic research has been a guiding principle in the development of our model (Liddle, Dakof, & Diamond, 1991;Liddle & Schmidt, 1994).…”

Family-based treatments for adolescent drug abuse and related behavior problems have been developed and evaluated with success. Empirical support exists for the efficacy of family-based treatments, and process studies have begun to identify mechanisms by which these treatments may achieve their effects. This article discusses theory and related clinical refinements in a contemporary family-based intervention, multidimensional family therapy. Expansions in the theoretical basis of the model are discussed. I highlight 2 aspects of the theory evolution process, resulting in a sharper clinical focus on intrapersonal development and on adolescents' and families' functioning vis-à-vis influential extrafamilial ecologies of development.
