From the Paper:
"Among the numerous treatment modalities to emerge in recent years that have been determined effective, a growing number of practitioners are turning to multidimensional family therapy as a comprehensive approach to treating specific syndromes and problems associated with adolescent substance abuse, as well as delinquency, and externalizing disorders (Sexton, Weeks & Robbins, 2003). In this regard, Liddle and his associates developed the multidimensional family therapeutic approach which integrates concepts of individual development in adolescents with various structural concepts and concepts from traditional substance-use treatment (Liddle et al., 2001)."Sample of Sources Used:
