Thrive Girls Ranch and Home understands that you want to find help for your struggling teen girl who may be suffering with AntiSocial Personality Disorder. We’re here to help at our affordable specialized boarding school program, set in a safe, positive and structured environment near Austin, Texas.
What is AntiSocial Personality Disorder?
This is an unceasing mental condition in which your adolescent might show signs of dysfunctional thinking and relating to others, perhaps acting with absolute apathy to their feelings. She may also break the law, scheme, lie and not show or admit any feelings of remorse.
These can all be signs of AntiSocial Personality Disorder, and we can provide a safe haven as your child struggles to overcome this serious problem.
AntiSocial Personality Disorder (ASPD) is defined (by the American Psychiatric Association) as “a pervasive pattern of disregard for, and violation of the rights of others.” Symptoms include failure to conform, impulsive actions, bad temper, and indifference for safety (for themselves, and for others).
It is often difficult for parents to recognize ASPD traits in their children. But it’s quite important to have the Disorder correctly diagnosed and treated, so that your child won’t suffer additional, life-altering consequences, such as risky activities, reckless behaviors, or even repetitious law-breaking that leads to incarceration.
Here to Help your Teen with AntiSocial Personality Disorder
There is not a universally agreed upon successful treatment for this disorder, and it is an extremely complicated one to treat. There is some success seen in therapies that show the high cost of unlawful and unacceptable behavior. Some studies find contingency management or reward systems to be advantageous in routing behavior to a more suitable norm (not to be confused with normal, parental attempts at punishment and reward).
Your teen girl will need lasting treatment for ASPD, as well as for any linked conditions, such as depression, risky activities and anxiety. At Thrive Girls Ranch and Home, we want to help you, so that ASPD doesn’t control your child’s life!
How Your Teen Girl Can Change and Thrive
We provide therapeutic counseling to each individual girl, plus daily learning experiences and activities that nurture a true change of heart–and help her thrive in life.
Thrive Girls Ranch and Home offers life transformation to girls who struggle with life-controlling and self-destructive behaviors or attitudes. We desire to see every girl discover her God-given potential, and live out our core values of integrity, compassion, community, vision, stewardship, servanthood, and faith in Jesus Christ.
Here, teen girls receive fully accredited middle and high school curriculum through Alpha Omega Academy. We also offer extensive academic recovery options, and help her prepare to transition into a normal, healthy lifestyle in college, ministry or the workforce. And because we highly value family restoration, parents can visit their girl once a month, and receive good insight on improving family relationships.
