Developing an integrative group treatment model incorporating dialectical behavioral therapy with eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy to address emotional dysregulation and trauma symptoms in detained adolescent youths with a history of trauma

This study will develop an integrative group treatment model that incorporates Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy for treating delinquent adolescents detained in a correctional facility that have a history of trauma experiences or posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Core components of DBT and EMDR, which are recognized evidence based practices, will be considered for treating this population in a group setting. The benefits of group therapy will be presented as well as the purpose and significance of the study. The Developmental Research and Utilization (DRU) model will be the research method for this study and will be presented together with the organization of the remainder of the study as a conclusion.
