- Abstract
This is the third part of a case study presenting a single case analysis of an 18 year-old African American male. It also presents a theoretical analysis of' the case implementing Mode Deactivation Therapy (MDT) (Apsche, Ward, & Evile, 2002). MDT is a form of CBT that combines the balance of DBT with a methodology to address the adolescents' belief system. MDT has been shown to be effective in a descriptive study with CBT (Apsche & Ward, 2002). The analysis of MDT while reviewing this case presents an opportunity to understand the development of MDT, while reviewing it's effectiveness with this case. The individual in this case, John, was a troubled youngster. He had been the recipient of severe and pervasive physical abuse by his mother and father. He and his sister were neglected and abandoned as children at the age of 5 years old. John developed a complex system of personality disorder beliefs to cope with his world. These beliefs had led John to commit numerous violent acts as a sexual offense. This theoretical case study represents the beginning of mode deactivation therapy from theory to clinical practice. He was treatment savvy and was able to define basic cognitive therapy techniques hut would engage in dialectical debates about distortions and would negatively engage his therapist who suggested — that he distorted information.
