Concern for adolescents who act in dangerous, life-threatening ways has heightened dramatically in recent years. Many of these adolescents appear to come from nuclear families isolated from their kinship systems. Without the mediating effects of kin, the adolescent transition can become a major crisis. Kinship systems remain cohesive when members can reconcile their beliefs about essential aspects of family functioning with the demands for adaptation during major life transitions. Reconciliation is lost when members believe that kin can no longer be trusted to insure their well-being. Kinship fragmentation ensues as family members leave the field or are excluded. Isolated nuclear families then rapidly lose the resilience to respond to life transitions without resorting to extreme, maladaptive solutions. The Systemic Crisis Intervention Program (SCIP) uses the opportunity of the crisis precipitated by the adolescent's life-threatening behavior to alter family myths that have led to network fragmentation. Crisis teams mobilize and meet with kin in four-hour gatherings to foster reconciliation and kinship system reintegration.
近年来，对那些有危险、危及生命行为的青少年的关注急剧增加。这些青少年中的许多人似乎来自与亲属系统隔绝的核心家庭。没有亲属的调解作用，青少年的过渡可能会成为一场重大危机。当家庭成员能够使他们对家庭功能基本方面的信念与重大生活转变期间的适应需求相协调时，亲属系统会保持凝聚力。当成员们认为亲属不再值得信任以确保他们的幸福时，这种协调就会丧失。随着家庭成员离开或被排斥，亲属关系就会瓦解。然后，孤立的核心家庭在不采取极端、适应不良的解决办法的情况下，迅速失去应对生活转变的恢复力。系统危机干预计划（SCIP）利用青少年危及生命行为引发的危机这一契机，改变导致亲属关系网络瓦解的家庭观念。危机处理小组动员起来，与亲属进行为期四小时的会面，以促进和解及亲属系统的重新整合。
