AB The stressful life events experienced by adolescents with problematic behaviors, should beconsidered for implementing effective interventions. This study aimed to examine the adjustment ofadolescents with problematic behaviors, and to assess the effectiveness of a family-based treatment,namely Scene-Based Psychodramatic Family Therapy (SB-PFT), according to different stress profiles.Ten SB-PFT sessions, over 17 trials were implemented. Stressful life events and adolescent adjustmentwere evaluated at pretest and posttest, for the SB-PFT participants (n = 104 adolescents) and acontrol group (n = 106). The adolescents were categorized into three profiles depending on thenature of the stressors: family stress profile, individual and family stress profile, and low stressprofile. The individual and family stress group showed worse adjustment. Effectiveness analysesrevealed improvements in SB-PFT participants’ emotional intelligence, but not in anger and hostility.Furthermore, adolescents with low and family-related stress profiles showed enhancements in parentattachment. In conclusion, interventions involving adolescents with problematic behaviors must betailored to the stressful life events experienced. Specific treatments should be used alongside SB-PFT,when adolescents are met with individual-related stress. Nevertheless, SB-PFT seemed to promoteemotional intelligence and parent attachment, particularly in adolescents with problematic behaviorsthat experienced only family stressors.
