title: Cognitive therapy with adolescents.
abstract: Cognitive immaturity and distortion are frequently observed in normal adolescents, as well as those with severe psychiatric and behavioral disorders. Misunderstandings of the therapy process and an unstable therapeutic alliance often complicates treatment. Cognitive therapy provides a paradigm for therapeutic intervention and management of therapeutic-alliance problems with adolescents.
