Title: Competing with the gang : an exploration of MST therapists' experiences working with gang-involved young people and their families
Authors: Packer, R.
Summary: Aims: This study offers a qualitative exploration of the experiences of MST therapists when working with gang-involved young people and their families, examining whether gang-involvement has any impact upon the implementation of the model. Method: Semi-structured interviews were completed with 12 therapists and supervisors, sampled from two inner-city London boroughs. Data were transcribed and analysed thematically. Results: Three main themes were identified: The unique clinical challenge of working with gang-involved young people, MST offers the best option and MST is limited in the support it provides therapists when working with gang-involved youth. Conclusions: Results are discussed in the wider context of the existing gang-literature, highlighting clinical implications for the MST model in order to address the additional challenges implicit in working with gang-involved young people, and ways in which the current MST supervisory structure may be shaped to better support its therapists.
