Originally published in Contemporary Psychology: APA Review of Books, 2004, Vol 49(6), 788–790. Review of book Treating Chronic Juvenile Offenders: Advances Made Through the Oregon Multidimensional Treatment Foster Care Model by Patricia Chamberlain (see record 2003-02952-000). Chamberlain makes a convincing case for her adolescent treatment program in this book. This timely volume highlights the need for reform in today's treatment systems for youth demonstrating severe behavior problems, a growing concern among clinicians and policy makers as well as the community at large. As concerns mount regarding the potential iatrogenic effects and prohibitive expense of residential treatment, Chamberlain's program demonstrates a timely alternative that will be of interest to many in its target audience, which includes “clinicians, community program administrators, researchers, policymakers, judges, and attorneys.” The main takeaway message appears to be that, in spite of a reputation for failing to respond to treatment, youth who engage in antisocial behaviors and their families can make improvements when the appropriate structure and assistance are provided. Chamberlain's book can provoke discussion, as there are some components of Multidimensional Treatment Foster Care (MTFC) that threaten the status quo and may not be popular with some readers. Chamberlain makes a strong case against grouping antisocial adolescents in treatment settings, and advocates for the integration of youth with criminal records in regular neighborhoods and public schools.
