This dissertation evaluated the efficacy of the AMI Clinical Treatment and Curriculum Manual (Underwood, 1998), a modified cognitive-behavioral treatment methodology designed for an urban population of juvenile offenders with mental health disorders in a community-based residential treatment center. Efficacy of the AMI Clinical Treatment and Curriculum Manual was measured by the degree of reduction in overall problem behaviors, aggressions, and mental health symptoms among 57 male adolescent residents over a one-year period of time. The researcher's hypotheses were as follows: (1) It was predicted that mental health symptoms, overall problem behaviors, and aggressions would be statistically reduced in those juveniles who participated in the AMI clinical treatment interventions over the course of one year; (2) It was predicted that a positive therapeutic alliance and appropriate therapist matching would contribute to positive treatment outcome in participants. Overall, the positive findings (p < .05) suggest that the AMI Clinical Treatment and Curriculum Manual is an effective treatment approach for juvenile offenders and can help mitigate mental health symptoms, referral behaviors, and aggressive acts. Findings were particularly optimistic at 36 weeks (Quarter 3) of treatment. However, findings at 48 weeks (Quarter 4) of treatment portray an equivocal outcome. Results of this study revealed no relationship between mental health functioning and therapeutic alliance. Participants' mental health symptoms neither appreciably improved nor deteriorated in relation to their perception of their relationship with their therapist. Clinical implications include the importance of strong, consistent clinical leadership, appropriate length of stay in treatment, distinctive benefits for residents who meet criteria for a PTSD diagnosis, and the appropriateness of community-based residential treatment programs in improving mental health and behavioral symptoms of juvenile offenders. Recommendations are made to increase program effectiveness and further research.
