The author has split the self-regulation training process into three functional areas: physical, emotional, and cognitive. Using strategies based soundly upon evidence-based cognitive-behavioral psychology, this resource will help you move teens progressively through skill areas in each of these three areas.

This resource was designed to help professionals increase the long-term impact of their work with teens. Versatile and complimentary of most of the current social/emotional philosophies used with adolescents today, the strategies are creative, fresh, and engaging in a way to help bring about sustainable personal change, quickly.
