Abstract

Introduction: The objective of the study is to explore the presence and the evolution of a common orientation among the participants to two closed groups participating in a Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills training. One group is composed by adolescents and the other by some of their parents. The evolution was assessed via their answers to the “absurd questionnaire” and we will analyze the results in the light of the previous experiments we have conducted. Methods: The “absurd questionnaires”, composed of 50 pairs of images was administered to the participants who were asked to choose one image from each pair. In this experiment we were able to submit to the participants a version of the questionnaire before the groups were formed. We have analyzed their initial picture choices and how these evolved over time considering the changes in the choices, the differences in the two groups of participants, the flux and the focus of the answers.
