Multisystemic Therapy

Multisystemic Therapy is an intensive family and community based treatment model that addresses the multiple determinants of serious antisocial behavior in juvenile offenders. The multisystemic approach views individuals as being nested within a complex network of interconnected systems that encompass individual, family and extrafamilial (peer, school, neighborhood) factors.
