This comprehensive guide provides extensive
clinical description of the Multisystemic Treatment (MST) approach for treating youths
with serious antisocial behavior. A proven alternative to expensive and often ineffective
out-of-home placement, MST is a family- and community-based treatment. It focuses on
ameliorating the known determinants of antisocial behavior within the young person's
family, peer, and school networks. Nine core principles comprise the parameters for the
book's flexible, team-based intervention framework, which targets such areas as promoting
family strengths and resiliencies, removing youths from antisocial peer groups, enhancing
school performance, and developing indigenous social support systems. The book features a
wealth of illustrative case material and is extensively documented with findings from
controlled outcome studies.
