Originally developed to treat antisocial behavior, multisystemic therapy (MST) has emerged
as a leading evidence-based treatment for serious emotional disturbance in children and
adolescents. This clearly written manual presents the MST approach to working with this
challenging population. Delineated are ways to develop and implement collaborative
interventions to connect children and families to treatment and support networks, manage
psychiatric emergencies, improve family functioning, and build needed social and
educational skills. Special topics covered include the role of pharmacological
interventions and the need for community-based safety plans for high-risk youths.
Featuring a wealth of case material, the manual is extensively documented with findings
from controlled outcome studies.
