Abstract
In this article the author describes some of his experiences applying redecision therapy in the group treatment of incarcerated disturbed youth in the California Youth Authority's Preston School of Industry Intensive Treatment Program over the past two years. He describes the three levels or stages of treatment work with this population and some problems associated with its application. He concludes that in spite of their many cognitive and emotional impairments, redecision therapy is an effective form of therapy for the majority of this population.
