Dysregulation in children and adolescents: lessons learned so far from the presidential taskforce

The first meeting of the AACAP Presidential Initiative Task Force on Emotion Dysregulation in Children and Adolescents was held at the 2019 AACAP Annual Meeting. This 16-member task force meets monthly to discuss the initiative of Gabrielle A. Carlson, MD, to improve the assessment and treatment of children and adolescents with severe outbursts who are often referred to inpatient and outpatient treatment and are managed in emergency and residential settings. These presentations will present the goals of the initiative, provide early reports from the working groups on measurement and treatment, and allow for membership input into the work of the task force.
