Özet

Adolescence brings about many changes that are observed biologically, psychologically, and socially. This period is viewed as challenging in many cultures and can be a time when adolescents have difficulty controlling their emotions. Researchers focusing on the emotional state of adolescence emphasized that uncontrollable anger negatively affects' adolescent mental health and social relationships. In this systematic review article, studies using Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) or DBT-informed studies assessing anger among adolescents have been examined. Characteristics as well as findings of these studies have been discussed. In general, DBT is a promising psychotherapy approach in increasing adolescent anger management; however, more methodologically rigorous experimental and meta-analysis studies are warranted.
