Adolescence is the stage of life characterized by independence and trying new things. It is also the time when parents begin to feel like they have lost touch with their children. A parent begins to notice that friends are more important than family and communication becomes strained. When communication breakdown occurs, it is common for anger outburst to happen between parent and child. In some cases the anger can become so extreme the adolescent acts out both verbally and physically. This can be a scary time for parents and other family members. Parents begin to question how much or how little structure to provide, which can result in feelings of powerlessness.

Individual and group therapy is available for persons whose anger is beginning to affect community or school functioning, as well as family life. Individual treatment is designed for persons who do not benefit from the group therapy experience.
