“…Juvenile delinquents are often treated in group settings with treatments largely untested in rigorous randomized trials (Zimpfer, 1992). There has been considerable concern regarding the destructive potential of group treatment for adolescents (Dishion & Kavanagh, 2003; Gifford-Smith, Dodge, Dishion, & McCord, 2005).…”

The purpose of this study was to determine whether motivational interviewing (MI), compared with an attention control condition (relaxation training [RT]) enhances substance abuse treatment engagement in incarcerated adolescents. At the start of incarceration, adolescents were randomly assigned to individually administered MI or RT. Subsequently, therapists and adolescents (N = 130) rated degree of adolescent participation in the facility's standard care group-based treatments targeting crime and substance use. All adolescents received the facility standard care treatment after their individual MI or RT session. MI statistically significantly mitigated negative substance abuse treatment engagement. Other indicators of treatment engagement were in the expected direction; however, effect sizes were small and nonsignificant. These findings are significant, given concerns regarding the deleterious effects of treating delinquent adolescents in groups and the potential for adolescents to reinforce each other's negative behavior, which in turn may lead to escalated substance use and other delinquent behaviors after release.

“…These interventions should enhance the maturational functioning and improve the psychological states of these adolescents. Offender adolescents, being susceptible to peer pressure, are particularly responsive to interventions that involve peers (Zimpfer, 1992). Group work may also be the preferred intervention of offender adolescents because they frequently operate in gangs (i.e., to make plans, finalize decisions; Macedo, 1955).…”

The impact of personal construct and psychodynamic group work on the psychosocial functioning of offender adolescents was evaluated. The repeated measures design involved 3 data collections. Data from 102 participants included measures of 5 pairs of maturational processes and 5 psychological states. Group work was effective immediately after terminating treatment in increasing helpful maturational processes and in reducing the less helpful maturational processes. The group work was also effective to some extent in reducing less helpful psychological states. The implications of this research for future interventions and its evaluation are discussed.
