Mindfulness, mode deactivation, and family therapy: A winning combination for treating adolescents with complex trauma and behavioral problems.
Overview
This paper outlines Mode Deactivation Therapy (MDT), a treatment approach developed for adolescents with behavioral problems and complex trauma. It describes MDT's theoretical foundation in cognitive theories and its integration of mindfulness elements from third-wave therapies like DBT to address resistance and comorbidities often seen in standard CBT. The text references prior research indicating high effect sizes for this therapy in treating male adolescents with behavioral issues.
