Psychosocial Treatment of Depression in Delinquents

Gregory N. Clarke, Principal Investigator

Over a four-year period, 240 adolescents with both depression and conduct problems were randomly assigned to one of two groups: (1) the usual services provided to delinquent youth in the diversion program (typically an educational program with various goals such as alternatives to stealing, reducing alcohol and drug use, and academic tutoring) or (2) the usual services plus the Adolescent Coping With Depression (CWD-A) course. The CWD-A course was modified to address the special needs of adolescents with both depression and conduct disorder (e.g., increasing social skills to develop nondeviant peer groups, and dealing with anger in addition to depression).
