Abstract
A variety of methods have been used by counselors and therapists in the treatment of juveniles under the supervision and care of children service and juvenile justice agencies. The specific treatment technique used is dependent on the situation, the youth’s needs, and the resources available. A counselor or therapist must be knowledgeable in a variety of techniques, and flexible in the selection of treatment methods. Various forms of treatment, including behavior modification, positive peer culture, and guided group interaction are frequently used in institutional settings and in group homes. Individual counseling includes crisis intervention, reality therapy, anger management, assertiveness training, and, in rare cases, psychotherapy.
