The Presenter The Families of Juvenile Delinquents Outline

Outline
The Families of Juvenile Delinquents
Juvenile delinquency can result from a host of factors. It
can occur despite skillful parenting. Yet, there is a large
body of research showing problems in the family dynamics
of juvenile offenders. To help these families, it is critical to understand the family histories of our youth. This
seminar will explore the “Coercive Family Environment”
identified by Patterson more than 30 years ago. It will
provide practical techniques for joining with these families in a helpful way. Also, evidence based treatments for
Conduct Disorder, all of which utilize family therapy as
their focus will be discussed.
