摘要：The editor is privileged to serve as guest editor of this special issue of IJBCT , and, even more so, to have had the opportunity to work with very special and well-respected professionals, many of whom have extensive experience in adolescent therapy and MDT in particular. As a relative newcomer to MDT, I was impressed by the many claims of the superior effectiveness and durability of MDT as a treatment for adolescents with behavioral problems and multiple comorbid conditions. Maybe it was my previous background in engineering that made me skeptical and wary of "soft" claims. I had to investigate how and why MDT could be achieving success with a population where others of the hundreds of different therapy approaches seemed to fail. This special issue is part of that journey. After scrutinizing all of the available research studies and data, I have not found a single misrepresentation or exaggeration of results that could disprove or cast doubt upon any of the claims.
