Study Groups

Forensic Outpatient Systemic Therapy (FAST)
FAST is a promising treatment for juveniles showing severe antisocial behavior, including aggression, (domestic) violence, and delinquent behavior. FAST has a flexible intensity and length, addresses individual and systemic risk and protective factors, and is responsive to the abilities of the client (system), intervention characteristics all considered crucial for effective treatment.
FAST
FAST includes around 3 hours of face-to-face direct treatment time weekly and consists of a maximum of 10% online direct treatment time (i.e., treatment via phone, video-calling or texting). The treatment stage of FAST lasts five to nine months depending on the individual goals of the juvenile and the caregiver(s) and is followed by a period of aftercare.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
2. Juvenile is aged 12 to 21 years old at the start of the intervention;
3. Juvenile exhibits externalizing behavior resulting in problems in at least two life areas (family, school, or leisure time), determined by clinical impressions based on information from intake and/or referrer information;
4. Juvenile has a medium to high recidivism risk, measured by the Risk Assessment Instrument for Outpatient Forensic Mental Health Care Youth (RAF GGZ Youth);
5. Presence of juvenile-caregiver relationship problems, measured by the RAF GGZ Youth;
6. Juvenile has a diagnosis of a DSM-5 behavioral disorder, which is determined using a new diagnostic process or case file analysis;
7. Juvenile and caregiver(s) cannot be motivated to follow treatment at the treatment site after multiple attempts by the therapist;
8. Juvenile resides with their caregiver(s) or is expected to return to residing with their caregiver(s) within the first two months of FAST.
Exclusion Criteria
2. Problem behavior of the juvenile is caused primarily by substance abuse problems and it is expected that treatment of the substance abuse problems will decrease the problem behavior;
3. The safety of the family members or therapist cannot be sufficiently guaranteed.
To be eligible for participation in this study, one modified study inclusion criterium applies, i.e., the juvenile has primary aggression and/or anger problems (approximately 80% of referred juveniles). In addition, one study exclusion criterium applies, i.e., the juvenile is in secure residential care or confined in a correctional or detention facility at start of the intervention.
