摘要:Mode Deactivation Therapy (MDT) is the most recent type of therapy among the new third wave therapies for the treatment of aggression, aggressive sexual disorders, conduct disorders, and oppositional conduct disorders among juvenile adolescent males. The goal of MDT is to alter specific behaviors that fall outside socially acceptable norms. The purpose of this article is to examine the effectiveness of third wave treatments across various adolescent populations. Multiple research studies have validated the overall reduction in recidivism and other criminal offenses as a result of receiving Mode Deactivation Therapy. Through the use of Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Functional Analytic Psychotherapy, Mode Deactivation Therapy has proven to be an effective treatment for multiple disorders in the adolescent male population.
