Longitudinal studies and meta-analyses have shown cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to be effective. Mode deactivation therapy (MDT) is a form of CBT based on the theory of a network of cognitive, affective, motivational, and behavioral components that create a personality – “modes.” Modes are activated and create emotional dysregulation and behavioral disorders. In MDT, using a manualized treatment, the therapist reduces symptoms of behavior disorder, physical and sexual aggression, anxiety, and traumatic stress while keeping the juvenile offenders out of long-term, out-of-home placements. This present study examines 39 adjudicated Pennsylvania males (ages ranging from 14 to 17).
About NIC SearchThe National Institute of Corrections is targeted toward an adult audience, though it is available for any internet user. NIC does not provide search result filtering, so terms that may trigger some individuals may appear in search results. You can manually remove key words you don't want to appear in your results by using the minus sign modifier before a word, for example: -handcuffs Using the "-" dash or minus character immediately before a word in the search box will remove any search result containing that term. You may use as many search terms and removed words as you would like in the search box. |
