title: Psychotherapy of disadvantaged acting-out adolescents.
abstract: Since the causes of acting out among delinquent adolescents are both psychologic and social, treatment requires both psychotherapy and social therapy. Acting out is manifested in many ways and although situations vary, a number of treatment methods are specified. Broadly, treatment consists of a tripod of vectors: support, control, and uncovering.
