Multisystemic Therapy ® : Clinical Overview, Outcomes, and Implementation Research

Henggeler, Scott W., Schaeffer, Cindy M.·2016·Family Process

Abstract

Multisystemic therapy ( MST ) is an evidence‐based treatment originally developed for youth with serious antisocial behavior who are at high risk for out‐of‐home placement and their families; and subsequently adapted to address other challenging clinical problems experience by youths and their families. The social‐ecological theoretical framework of MST is presented as well as its home‐based model of treatment delivery, defining clinical intervention strategies, and ongoing quality assurance/quality improvement system. With more than 100 peer‐reviewed outcome and implementation journal articles published as of January 2016, the majority by independent investigators, MST is one of the most extensively evaluated family based treatments. Outcome research has yielded almost uniformly favorable results for youths and families, and implementation research has demonstrated the importance of treatment and program fidelity in achieving such outcomes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
