Fifteen years after treatment: A follow-up study of comprehensive vocationally-oriented psychotherapy. Am J Orthopsychiatry. 2014 Nov;84(6):619-23 Authors: Shore MF, Massimo JL Abstract This reprinted article originally appeared in American Journal of Orthopsychiatry, 1979, Vol. 49, No. 2, 240-245. (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record 2013-43131-006.) The fourth follow-up study of adolescent delinquent boys treated in a community-based program that combined job placement, remedial education, and psychotherapy indicates that the better overall adjustment of the treated group, compared to untreated controls, is maintained well into adulthood. It reaffirms the importance of developing sound, innovative means of reaching adolescents in crisis, and suggests the value of a fullscale replication of the original program.
