Abstract:
The results of a psychotherapy consultation service for delinquents are presented. Based on the clinical material obtained from this programme, and a review of relevant delinquency and psychotherapy literature, a working model of individual psychotherapy related to attachment theory as it applies to this population is discussed. Developmental and existential difficulties that warrant resolution are included, as are issues with resistance and counter transference.
