Abstract Objective To preliminarily explore the application of multi-family skills training group model ofdialectical behavior therapy to adolescents（DBT-A）in China. Methods Eight adolescents with emotional disorders and their families who visited the Department of Clinical Psychology, Xinhua Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, from March to November 2020 were selected for 19 -week-long dialectical behavior group skills training.Before and after intervention, child anxiety related emotional disorders（SCARED）, self-rating scale for depressivedisorder in childhood（DSRSC）, and simplified coping style questionnaire（SCSQ）were used for questionnaire evaluation. Results Four adolescents and their parents completed 19-week-long group training and assessments after intervention and 6 -month follow-up. Compared with that before intervention, the adolescents’ depression score of DSRSC was marginallysignificantly lower（0.05<P<0.1）after intervention and continued to decrease during follow-up. The adolescents’ anxiety scores of SCARED continued to decrease during the 6 -month follow-up, and showed a marginally significant decreasecompared with the baseline（0.05 <P<0.1）. The adolescents’ positive coping style of SCSQ increased significantly（P<0.05） and remained constant during follow-up. After the positive coping style was improved, anxiety and learning motivation changed from negative correlation to positive correlation. In terms of intervention acceptance, the average score of the work alliance factor was higher than 3 points, indicating that the work alliance was in good condition, and the course attendance rate was 93.3%. Conclusion DBT-A can significantly improve the emotions and positive coping styles of adolescents with emotional disorders. At the same time, the group model has good feasibility, acceptability, and good clinical value.
