Aim of presentation
Relevance of NICE guidance for young people and families
Introduction to the Multisystemic Therapy programme in England
Parent and professional experience of MST in London borough of Hackney
NICE guidance 77
Guidance on Anti-social Personality Disorder published in January 2009
Includes prevention and interventions for children & young people and families(1)
For younger children, group parenting programmes are effective but for adolescents with more severe problems individualised programmes, including Multisystemic Therapy are most effective
Conduct Disorder & Antisocial Personality Disorder
Significant chronic antisocial behaviour in teenage years – ‘conduct disorder’
Approx a third of kids who meet criteria for conduct disorder go on to meet criteria for ‘Antisocial Personality Disorder’ in adulthood
Recognition of developmental context
People with ASPD have often grown up in fractured families in which parental conflict is typical and parenting is harsh and inconsistent. As a result of parental inadequacies and/or the child’s difficult behaviour, the child’s care is often interrupted and transferred to agencies outside the family. This in turn often leads to truancy, having delinquent associates and substance misuse, which frequently result in increased rates of unemployment, poor and unstable housing situations, and inconsistency in relationships in adulthood. Many people with ASPD have a criminal conviction and are imprisoned or die prematurely as a result of reckless behaviour.
NICE clinical guideline 77
