How can I be attentive to both a teenager’s distress and their capacity to care?
The focus here is prosocial behavior and attachment as potential resources in a clinical sample.
Who was studied?
Adolescents seeking mental health care who reported depressive symptoms
Age / stage: 11–17 years
Read with three questions
- How did the authors investigate prosocial behavior and attachment as potential resources in a clinical sample?
- How were families recruited into the clinical setting, and what exactly was assessed?
- How did the study define impairment for an adolescent already receiving mental health care?
Keep the limits in view
The results concern adolescents seeking clinical care. Prosocial behavior is not a substitute for clinical assessment or treatment.
