Thomason, M.S., Jeffrey Duong, M.A., & Kristine M. Jacquin, Ph.D. Original Publication Site & Date: American College of Forensic Psychology 2022 Summary: Multisystemic therapy (MST) is an effective method for reducing recidivism rates and improving overall mental health of juvenile sexual offenders (Henggeler, 2001). MST was developed as a comprehensive treatment model targeting juveniles who presented criminal behaviors ranging from drug abuse, violence, and sexual assault (Henggeler, 2008). MST incorporates caregivers into treatment to facilitate acceptance of the juvenile’s offending behavior, resulting in increased knowledge, communication, and the removal of barriers in the adolescent’s relationships (Borduin et al., 2009).
