Psychosocial Treatment of Traumatized Juveniles

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

In the motion picture, Good Will Hunting, Matt Damon portrays a character whose history of severe physical abuse appears to be linked to his extensive juvenile record and mental health problems in young adulthood. This is an unfortunate example of art imitating life, where as many as 90% of juveniles involved with the U.S. justice system will report having experienced a traumatic event at some point in their lifetime (Abram et al. 2004). This high prevalence of exposure to traumatic events among juvenile offenders underscores the need for mental health providers and administrators alike to understand the trauma-related clinical implications for psychosocial treatment of this population. Thus, the goal of this chapter is to aid clinicians in better serving the mental health needs of juveniles who have experienced traumatic events. The chapter is divided into two sections. The first section provides necessary background information regarding the link between trauma and delinquent behavior, which serves as a framework for psychosocial treatment of this population. The second section describes existing empirically supported treatment options for traumatized juveniles and provides a list of clinical implications and recommendations extending from the literature reviewed throughout the chapter. Ultimately, we hope the information in this chapter will help alter the trajectory of traumatized juvenile offenders in a more positive direction.
